Rep. Timothy M. Kennedy

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the United States Postal Service to provide curbside mail delivery to residents of small housing developments and prohibits the agency from using funds to stop or limit this service. The legislation specifically targets clusters of 50 or fewer single-family homes that are located within 300 yards of other residences already receiving curbside delivery. By mandating this standard, the bill directly affects how mail is distributed in these specific residential areas and restricts the Postal Service's ability to alter its current delivery practices for them.

Maddy summaryThe Hands Off Our Great Lakes Act prohibits the President and federal officials from changing the official names of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, or Lake Ontario. The bill specifically nullifies Executive Order 14422, which had renamed Lake Ontario to Lake America, and bans any further attempts to alter these geographic names through similar executive actions. Additionally, it forbids the use of federal funds to implement or enforce the revoked order or any comparable measures.

Maddy summaryThe STORMWATER Act extends the funding period for stormwater control infrastructure technology centers from fiscal years 2022-2026 to 2027-2031. It mandates that exactly five of these centers be established, rather than a range of three to five as previously allowed. Additionally, the bill requires that one of the designated centers be located in and focused on the Great Lakes region.

Maddy summaryThe BAD DEAL Act of 2026 repeals Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, which previously allowed the President to impose tariffs on foreign countries that engaged in unfair trade practices. This legislation directly affects importers and businesses by removing the legal authority for these specific duties and invalidating any presidential proclamations issued under that section. The bill requires the President to refund all tariffs or other duties collected before, on, or after the enactment date that resulted from actions taken under the repealed provision.

Maddy summaryThe No Payoffs for Pardons Act requires individuals who receive executive clemency to file detailed financial reports if they provided gifts or benefits of $10,000 or more to the President or related entities in an attempt to secure that pardon. These disclosure reports must be submitted to the Attorney General and made publicly available online, while also updating federal bribery laws to explicitly include pardons as a form of "anything of value" that can be offered to officials. The bill imposes civil and criminal penalties for failing to file these reports or submitting false information, and it extends the statute of limitations for prosecuting bribery cases involving clemency to ten years. By mandating transparency around the exchange of favors for clemency, the legislation aims to prevent the misuse of presidential pardon power without restricting the President's constitutional authority to grant pardons.

Maddy summaryThis resolution expresses support for designating July as Disability Pride Month to honor the contributions of the approximately 70 million American adults and over 3 million children with disabilities. The bill calls on individuals, interest groups, and organizations across the United States to observe the month with celebrations and activities that promote inclusion. Additionally, it urges everyone to actively work against the exclusion and discrimination that people with disabilities often face. While the measure does not create new laws or funding, it serves as an official statement of recognition and encouragement for community engagement during this time.

Maddy summaryThe RESCUE Act of 2026 updates how the federal government reimburses ground and air ambulance services by changing the payment schedule and data collection rules. Starting in 2028, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will adjust payment rates every three years based on new data regarding costs, labor, and uncompensated care, while years in between will see payments increase only by the standard inflation rate. The bill also requires air ambulance providers to submit cost information to the government at least once every three years, aligning this process with existing rules for ground ambulance services. Additionally, the law mandates a review by 2029 to gather expert recommendations on whether further changes are needed to ensure ambulance providers are paid appropriately. These changes directly affect ambulance companies and the federal programs that fund emergency medical transport.

Maddy summaryHR 4541, the EARLY Act Reauthorization of 2025, extends the funding period for the Young Women’s Breast Health Education and Awareness program. It amends the Public Health Service Act to update the program’s expiration date from 2026 to 2031. The bill directly affects young women aged 15-25 by ensuring continued access to breast health education and awareness resources. The key provision is a simple extension of the existing program’s authorization period, without altering its scope or requirements. This is a procedural reauthorization to maintain current services through 2031.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes federal protections and funding to expand access to in vitro fertilization and intrauterine insemination for individuals, military service members, and veterans. It requires most private health plans, Medicaid programs, and Medicare to cover these fertility treatments without imposing higher cost-sharing than other medical services. Additionally, the legislation mandates that the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs provide specific fertility preservation and treatment benefits to uniformed service members and eligible veterans. The bill also includes preemption clauses that override state laws restricting these procedures and prohibits discrimination based on marital status, sex, or sexual orientation in the provision of care.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates the United States Postal Service facility at 114 John Street in New York, New York, as the "Jack Greenberg Post Office." The legislation requires that all official government records, maps, and documents referring to this location use the new name. This change is intended to honor Jack Greenberg, a prominent civil rights attorney, by permanently associating his name with the building.
