Maddy summaryThe D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act transfers administrative control of the 174-acre Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus from the federal government to the District of Columbia. This allows the District to develop the campus for residential, commercial, and public purposes, including designating at least 30% as "Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Park" for recreation. The District must pay all transfer and development costs, maintain public access to the Anacostia River, and follow specific environmental and development requirements. The transfer is for a minimum of 99 years, with provisions for federal reversion if the District fails to meet requirements. The bill also repeals the 1957 Stadium Act and terminates a 1988 lease agreement.

Maddy summaryThis proposed constitutional amendment would limit Members of Congress to serving a maximum of three terms in the House of Representatives or two terms in the Senate. It directly affects current and future members by preventing those who have already served the maximum terms from seeking re-election. Key provisions include counting vacancies filled for more than a year (House) or three years (Senate) as a full term toward the limit, while excluding terms served before ratification from the count. As a constitutional amendment proposal, it requires approval by three-fourths of state legislatures to become law.

Maddy summaryHR 82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, repeals two provisions that reduce Social Security benefits for certain government workers. It eliminates the Government Pension Offset (GPO), which cuts spousal or survivor benefits for people with pensions from jobs not covered by Social Security (like federal or state government roles), and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), which lowers retirement benefits for those with similar pensions. The law takes effect for benefits paid after December 2023, requiring the Social Security Administration to adjust benefit calculations to remove these reductions. This change directly affects public-sector employees who previously had their Social Security benefits reduced due to their government pensions.

Maddy summaryThe Think Differently Database Act (HR 670) requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create and maintain a public website within three years. The website will provide clear, accessible information about Medicaid eligibility for people with disabilities - including specific state requirements, contact details for state Medicaid offices, and wait times for home-based services. It directly affects individuals with disabilities, their caregivers, and families seeking support through Medicaid programs. The site will standardize resource access across states, using existing Medicaid rules and modeling after the thinkdifferently.net website.

Maddy summaryThe Red Light Act withholds 100% of specific federal highway funds from states that issue driver's licenses or identification cards to undocumented immigrants. For fiscal years 2023 and beyond, states allowing such identification for aliens unlawfully present in the U.S. lose these funds, which are then redistributed to other compliant states if the noncompliant state doesn’t repeal its law. States can regain withheld funds by repealing their relevant law before the fiscal year ends. The bill uses the existing federal definition of "identification card" from Title 18. It directly affects states with laws permitting identification for undocumented immigrants and aims to incentivize policy changes through federal funding consequences.

Maddy summaryThis bill adds a new deportation ground for non-citizens convicted of assaulting a law enforcement officer under specific circumstances. It makes deportation mandatory if the assault occurred: (1) while the officer was performing duties, (2) because of their duties, or (3) due to their status as an officer. The bill also requires the Department of Homeland Security to annually report the number of deportations under this provision. It directly affects non-citizens convicted of such assaults, not U.S. citizens or law enforcement personnel.

Maddy summaryThis bill denies federal funds to states or localities (sanctuary jurisdictions) that restrict sharing immigration status information or refuse to comply with federal detainer requests under specific circumstances. It specifically blocks funding intended for services like food, shelter, healthcare, legal aid, or transportation for undocumented immigrants. The funding cutoff begins 60 days after enactment or the next fiscal year start. An exception applies if a jurisdiction cooperates when an undocumented immigrant is a crime victim or witness.

Maddy summaryThe SERVE Our Communities Act (HR 198) creates a federal grant program providing $10 million annually from 2026-2031 to states and local governments that meet specific crime prevention criteria. To qualify, jurisdictions must require courts to consider public safety risks when setting bail or pretrial release (Section 2(b)(1)) and must have implemented one of three actions in the prior year: enacted bail reform, increased law enforcement staffing, or run public safety education programs (Section 2(b)(2)). Grant funds can only be used for evidence-based reentry and violence prevention programs under the Second Chance Act (Section 2(c)). The bill directly affects state and local governments by tying federal funding to specific bail reform and community safety measures, aiming to reduce repeat violent offenses through systemic changes.

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.
