Rep. Paul A. Gosar

Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act This bill requires certified national governing bodies (NGBs) of amateur sports (e.g., USA Gymnastics) to prohibit a person whose sex is male from participating in an amateur athletic competition that is designated for females, women, or girls. Under the bill, male  means an individual who has, had, will have—or would have, but for a developmental or genetic anomaly or historical accident—the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports, and utilizes sperm for fertilization.

La Paz County Solar Energy and Job Creation Act This act directs the Department of the Interior, after receiving a request from La Paz County, Arizona, to convey approximately 3,400 acres of identified land managed by the Bureau of Land Management to the county for fair market value. Interior must exclude from the conveyance any federal land that contains significant cultural, environmental, wildlife, or recreational resources. As a condition of the conveyance, La Paz County and any subsequent owner must make good faith efforts to avoid disturbing tribal artifacts; minimize impacts on tribal artifacts if they are disturbed; coordinate with the Colorado River Indian Tribes Tribal Historic Preservation Office to identify artifacts of cultural and historic significance; and allow tribal representatives to rebury unearthed artifacts at, or near, where they were discovered. The federal land is withdrawn from the operation of U.S. mining and mineral leasing laws, and thus the land is not available for new mining claims, new mineral or geothermal leases, nor sales of mineral materials. The county must pay all costs related to the conveyance.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends an existing provision in the MAP-21 law to set a specific deadline for airports to transition to quieter aircraft technology. It directly affects airports and aircraft operators required to meet federal noise standards. The key change replaces a flexible "15 years after enactment" deadline with a fixed date of December 31, 2032, for compliance. This is a procedural amendment to an existing regulatory requirement, not a new policy.

Maddy summaryThe LASSO Act requires 10% of annual revenue generated from public lands managed by the Interior Department and Agriculture Department (including national forests and Outer Continental Shelf areas) to be deposited into the Social Security Trust Fund. This directly affects the Social Security Trust Fund by increasing its funding, while ensuring no fee hikes for public land activities or reductions in funds for states, tribes, or local governments. The bill mandates this transfer annually without altering existing revenue-sharing agreements or pricing structures. It aims to bolster Social Security finances through a specific, measurable mechanism tied to federal land management.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the Lacey Act to create a registration system for facilities holding certain "prohibited wildlife species" (like big cats), directly affecting zoos and animal facilities that exhibit or possess these species. Facilities must register each animal with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and then stop breeding, selling, or allowing public contact with these species. The bill explicitly excludes snow leopards and clouded leopards (and their hybrids) from the "prohibited" category. It also allows compliant facilities to export/import prohibited species to foreign facilities operating legally in their home countries.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies federal budget rules for unspent agency funds. It requires federal agencies to allocate 49% of unused funds to the next fiscal year, 49% toward paying the national debt, and 2% for retention bonuses (capped at 10% of an employee's base pay). Agencies must also limit future budget requests to the previous year's amount adjusted for inflation. The bill directly affects all executive branch agencies (excluding the Red Cross), altering how they manage leftover budget authority. It does not create new savings programs for individuals but changes government fiscal management procedures.

Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or the SAVE America Act This bill requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote, and requires photo identification to vote, in federal elections. Specifically, the bill prohibits states from accepting and processing an application to register to vote in a federal election unless the applicant presents documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. The bill specifies what documents are considered acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship, such as identification that complies with the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates U.S. citizenship. Further, the bill (1) prohibits states from registering an individual to vote in a federal election unless, at the time the individual applies to register to vote, the individual provides documentary proof of U.S. citizenship; and (2) requires states to establish an alternative process to demonstrate U.S. citizenship. Each state must take affirmative steps on an ongoing basis to ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote, which shall include establishing a program to identify individuals who are not U.S. citizens using information supplied by certain sources. Additionally, states must remove noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters. The bill (1) provides for a private right of action for certain violations, and (2) establishes criminal penalties for certain offenses. Individuals voting in federal elections must present an eligible photo identification document. An individual who votes by absentee ballot must submit a copy of their identification document with both the request for, and the submission of, the absentee ballot.

Maddy summaryThis bill would revoke the tax-exempt status of nonprofit organizations (like charities or health groups) that provide or fund abortions, except in specific cases. It directly affects organizations currently classified under Section 501(c)(3) of the tax code, such as some healthcare providers or advocacy groups. Key provisions define "abortion" as intentionally terminating a pregnancy (excluding cases where the mother’s life is at risk, or the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest), and deny tax exemption to groups meeting this definition. The change would take effect for tax years starting after the bill’s enactment date.

Maddy summaryHR 5183 (District of Columbia Home Rule Improvement Act of 2025) modifies the process for Congress to review District of Columbia laws and mayoral actions. It extends the congressional review period from 30 to 60 days, allows disapproval of specific provisions within a law (not just entire laws), and prohibits the Council from resubmitting laws substantially identical to those previously disapproved by Congress. The bill also requires annual congressional hearings where DC's leadership reports on the District's condition and needs. These changes aim to clarify and streamline the home rule review process for DC legislation and executive actions.

Maddy summaryHR 1295, the Reorganizing Government Act of 2025, amends federal law to streamline executive branch operations. It requires all executive departments (like the Departments of Defense or Education) to eliminate unnecessary programs, reduce federal employee numbers, and cut burdensome regulations that increase compliance costs. The bill updates deadlines for reorganization plans from 1984 to 2026 and explicitly mandates that all government operations must serve the public interest. These changes apply broadly across the federal government, focusing on efficiency and cost reduction.
