Maddy summaryHR 7365, the VETS Safe Travel Act, provides free TSA PreCheck access to veterans with specific service-connected disabilities. It applies to veterans enrolled in VA healthcare who have lost or lost use of an extremity, experience paralysis, or have permanent blindness, requiring mobility aids like wheelchairs or prosthetics. The bill requires TSA and the VA to coordinate implementation within one year, including outreach to veterans about this benefit and reporting to Congress on progress.

Maddy summaryThe FISHES Act (HR 5103) streamlines access to emergency disaster funds for fisheries by setting strict deadlines for federal review. It requires the Secretary of Commerce to review and provide notice on spend plans within 10 days of submission and mandates that funds be made available to grantees no later than 90 days after a complete spend plan is received. This directly affects fisheries that have received a formal "fishery resource disaster" determination, ensuring faster disbursement of funds for recovery efforts. The bill also prohibits the Office of Management and Budget from delaying these timelines during concurrent review. The law aims to reduce bureaucratic delays in post-disaster funding without altering the underlying disaster assistance program.

Fentanyl is a WMD Act This bill requires the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office of the Department of Homeland Security to treat illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

Maddy summaryHR 24, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2025, mandates a comprehensive audit of the Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve banks by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) within 12 months of enactment. The bill requires the GAO to submit a detailed report to Congress within 90 days of completing the audit, including findings, conclusions, and recommendations for legislative or administrative action. This audit replaces current limitations on reviewing Federal Reserve operations, particularly regarding entities like special purpose vehicles not previously subject to standard audits. The bill directly affects the Federal Reserve System by increasing congressional oversight of its financial activities and reporting mechanisms.

Maddy summaryHR 62, the WILLIS Act, prohibits all federal funding for the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. It requires the office to repay all federal funds spent after January 1, 2021, and cancels any unobligated federal funds allocated to the office. The bill directly affects the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office by cutting its federal funding stream. It applies to all federal programs that previously provided money to this office, with no new funding allowed.

Maddy summaryHR 191, titled "Inflation Reduction Act of 2025," is a procedural bill that repeals the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-169) and rescinds its unobligated funds. It directly affects the implementation of the 2022 law by nullifying its provisions and redirecting any remaining unspent budget authority. The bill contains no new policy mechanisms or direct impacts on citizens or programs; its sole action is to undo the previous legislation. This is a straightforward repeal measure with no new funding or regulatory changes. The title is misleading, as the bill does not create a new inflation reduction policy but instead reverses the prior law.

Maddy summaryThe ALVIN Act prohibits the federal government from providing any new funding to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. It requires the office to repay all federal funds it has spent since January 1, 2022, and cancels any unspent allocated funds previously provided to the office. This bill directly affects the Manhattan DA's Office by eliminating its federal funding sources and imposing repayment obligations for past spending. The key provisions are a funding ban and a mandatory repayment requirement for post-2022 expenditures.

Maddy summaryHR 163, the "Finish the Wall Act," mandates the immediate resumption of border wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border within 24 hours of enactment. It requires the Department of Homeland Security to use all existing funds appropriated since 2016 for this purpose, prohibits canceling pre-January 2021 contracts, and sets a deadline of September 30, 2026, to complete the wall system. The bill directly affects the Department of Homeland Security, contractors with prior wall contracts, and border facilities, which must also comply with DNA collection requirements under federal law. It focuses on concrete policy actions - resuming construction, using existing funds, and meeting a specific timeline - without addressing broader policy impacts.

Maddy summaryHR 45 (FIND Act) requires federal government contractors to certify they do not discriminate against firearm businesses (including manufacturers, dealers, and trade associations) in their policies or practices. The bill mandates that contractors and subcontractors (for contracts over 10% of the prime contract value) certify they have no discriminatory policies and will not adopt them during the contract term. Violations could lead to contract termination and potential debarment. This applies to all federal procurement contracts awarded after the bill's enactment, excluding sole-source contracts. The law aims to ensure firearm businesses are treated equally in government contracting without restricting legitimate business criteria like creditworthiness or legal compliance.

Grant's Law This bill requires the Department of Justice to detain a non-U.S. national ( alien under federal law) found to be unlawfully present in the United States and arrested for various crimes that would render the individual deportable or inadmissible. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may release the individual to an appropriate authority for proceedings related to the arrest, but DHS must resume custody for any period that the individual is not in such authority's custody. If the individual is not convicted of crimes for which the individual was arrested, DHS must continue to detain the individual until removal proceedings are completed. DHS must complete such removal proceedings within 90 days.
