Maddy summaryThis bill would amend the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1987 to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization and prohibit its operations within the United States. It would require the President to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization under immigration law and impose new visa restrictions, including immediate revocation of current visas, for individuals identified as members. The bill mandates annual reports from the Secretary of State identifying Muslim Brotherhood branches worldwide and determining which should be designated as terrorist organizations under existing laws. These provisions would directly affect Muslim Brotherhood members, branches, and affiliated organizations seeking entry to or operating within the United States.

Maddy summaryThe Kidd's Stuttering Act requires Medicaid and CHIP to screen children aged 2-6 for stuttering and speech fluency during routine well-child visits starting January 1, 2027. It also mandates that Medicaid and CHIP cover specified speech therapy services for childhood stuttering (defined as "specified speech therapy services") with coverage rules no more restrictive than those for other speech disorders like language delays. The bill ensures these services include telehealth options and applies to all states administering Medicaid or CHIP. This directly affects children with stuttering who qualify for Medicaid or CHIP, aiming to improve early detection and access to treatment.
Maddy summaryHR 6336, the Fair Allocation of Interstate Rates Act, prohibits electric transmission providers serving customers in multiple states from charging out-of-state consumers for facilities built to implement a state's energy policies, unless that state consents. The bill directly affects multistate utilities and their customers, requiring that costs for "covered transmission facilities" (those built to implement a state's energy policy) be allocated only to residents of the state that enacted the policy. It creates a legal presumption that only residents of the implementing state are responsible for these costs, with an exception allowing out-of-state charges if the customer's state explicitly agrees. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission must issue implementing rules within six months of the bill's enactment.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires all commercial driver's license (CDL) tests - including knowledge tests, entry-level training exams, and third-party provider assessments - to be administered exclusively in English. It also mandates that new CDL applicants must hold a regular driver's license for at least one year prior to receiving a CDL, affecting most first-time commercial drivers. The Secretary of Transportation can revoke a state's authority to issue non-domiciled CDLs or commercial learner's permits (CLPs) if the state fails to comply with these requirements. These provisions directly impact new CDL applicants, particularly non-English speakers and those without prior driving experience.
Student Compensation and Opportunity through Rights and Endorsements Act or the SCORE Act This bill provides a framework for the compensation of student athletes for the use of their name, image, or likeness (NIL). This includes addressing certain elements of the court approved agreement to settle the In re College Athlete NIL Litigation (i.e., House settlement ). Specifically, the bill statutorily prohibits institutions, conferences, or interstate intercollegiate athletic associations (e.g., the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)) from restricting the ability of a student athlete to enter an NIL agreement. The bill also requires institutions of higher education that generate $20 million or more in annual revenue from the institution's intercollegiate athletics activities to (1) provide counseling and medical benefits to student athletes, and (2) establish and maintain at least 16 varsity sports teams. Further, the bill authorizes interstate intercollegiate athletic associations to establish rules with respect to athletic eligibility, transfers, recruitment, and the disclosure of NIL agreements. Under the bill, student athletes may not be considered employees of an institution, conference, or interstate intercollegiate athletic association. The bill also preempts state laws with respect to compensation, payments, benefits, employment status, eligibility, and academic standards applicable to student athletes. Compliance with the provisions of this bill is considered lawful under federal and state antitrust laws.
Maddy summaryThis bill updates securities laws to expand exemptions for retirement plans used by charities and educational institutions. It specifically modifies definitions in the Investment Company Act, Securities Act, and Securities Exchange Act to include 403(b) plans meeting certain conditions - such as being subject to ERISA, having employer fiduciary oversight, or being governmental plans. These changes reduce regulatory hurdles for organizations offering these plans, making it easier to administer retirement benefits for their employees. The bill directly affects charities, schools, and other non-profits that sponsor 403(b) retirement plans.

Maddy summaryHR 1109, the Litigation Transparency Act of 2025, requires parties and their lawyers in civil lawsuits to disclose to the court and other parties the identity of any person or group that could receive payment if the case succeeds (like investors or lenders), and to provide copies of related agreements. Exceptions apply for simple loan repayments (with interest limits) or attorney fee reimbursements. Disclosures must be made within 10 days of signing such agreements or when filing the case, and must be updated if inaccurate. This applies to all civil cases filed after the law takes effect, aiming to increase transparency in litigation funding arrangements.
