This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 15422 NY 104 in Martville, New York, as the "Sergeant Staret J. Ingleston Memorial Post Office Building".
Maddy summaryThe Corporate Prosecution Reform Act establishes a new Office of Corporate Enforcement within the Department of Justice to oversee agreements with companies accused of federal crimes. It restricts the use of deferred and non-prosecution agreements by banning them for offenses involving loss of life, serious injury, or specific crimes like terrorism and human trafficking, while requiring courts to ensure these deals adequately compensate victims and prevent future misconduct. To increase transparency, the bill mandates that the Attorney General publish the full text of all such agreements on a public website and submit annual reports to Congress detailing their terms and compliance. Additionally, the legislation creates standardized guidance for prosecutors to ensure consistent penalties for similar corporate offenses and updates federal crime categories to include cyber and financial crimes.
Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the HUD Data Privacy Act of 2026, restricts how the Department of Housing and Urban Development can share personal information with other agencies or third parties. It mandates that data collected from individuals receiving federal housing assistance be used solely to verify their eligibility for benefits or to determine the amount of aid they receive. The law includes specific exceptions for sharing deidentified data for research, ongoing criminal investigations, or preventing immediate threats to life, while explicitly prohibiting the use of this information for immigration enforcement purposes.
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a compensation fund to provide financial support to law enforcement officers who actively defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and suffered injuries, emotional distress, or death as a result. The program is administered by a Special Master appointed by the Attorney General, who will review individual claims for economic and non-economic losses while ignoring any questions of negligence. Eligible officers can receive specific payments for their injuries or the death of a colleague, with a guaranteed minimum of $4.975 million for death claims, plus an additional equal distribution to all qualifying officers regardless of injury status. The legislation also includes provisions to reduce payouts by any other compensation the claimant has already received and grants the federal government the right to recover funds if they are later paid out in related legal settlements.
Maddy summaryThe Universal School Meals Program Act of 2026 mandates that all public schools provide free breakfast and lunch to every enrolled student, regardless of income. It establishes specific funding rates for these meals, adjusts payments based on the use of locally sourced food, and eliminates the ability of schools to collect debt for unpaid charges. Additionally, the bill expands free meal access to summer programs, afterschool care, and incarcerated juveniles while updating poverty measurement standards across various federal education and nutrition laws.
Maddy summaryThis bill would amend federal law to strengthen penalties for organized retail crime by expanding definitions of theft to include digital goods, gift cards, and setting a $5,000 aggregate value threshold for charges over a 12-month period. It would establish a new "Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center" under Homeland Security to coordinate Federal, State, local, and Tribal law enforcement efforts against cross-jurisdictional theft groups. The Center would share information with retailers, transportation companies, and law enforcement agencies, track crime trends, and produce annual reports on organized retail crime. This legislation directly affects retailers, supply chain businesses, and law enforcement agencies, while targeting organized crime groups responsible for a 93% increase in larceny incidents and rising safety concerns for retail employees. The bill aims to address significant financial losses and supply chain disruptions noted in the National Retail Federation's 2023 data.
Maddy summaryThis resolution formally designates May 10, 2026, as National Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental Health Day to raise awareness about mental health within these communities. The text highlights that many individuals in this diverse group face barriers to care, including high costs, language differences, and cultural stigma, which result in low rates of treatment utilization. While the measure itself is symbolic and does not create new laws or funding, it encourages federal, state, and local agencies to develop policies that improve access to culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health services.
Maddy summaryThe Assault Weapon Financing Accountability Act prohibits the use of "Buy Now, Pay Later" loans to purchase semiautomatic assault weapons. This ban applies to both lenders offering these short-term credit products and dealers who accept such loans for firearm sales. The bill defines "semiautomatic assault weapons" based on specific physical features like pistol grips, forward grips, and high-capacity magazines, and sets a civil penalty of $100,000 for violations by lenders or sellers.
Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the tenure of Supreme Court justices to a maximum of 18 years. It would apply to all current justices, terminating their terms if they have already served 18 years or more, and would require the Chief Justice to be replaced according to existing laws if their term ends. The amendment aims to address concerns about judicial longevity by establishing a fixed term for all justices on the nation's highest court.
Maddy summaryThis bill is a non-binding resolution that expresses the House of Representatives' sentiment to honor public servants for their dedication to the United States. It specifically acknowledges the work of federal, state, and local government employees, as well as uniformed service members, who deliver essential services and support the economy. The resolution calls on the American public to observe Public Service Recognition Week with ceremonies and activities that recognize these contributions. Because it is a symbolic expression of the House's feelings rather than a law with enforceable rules, it does not create new policies or mandate specific actions.
