Rep. Nathaniel Moran

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to expand access to job training funds for young people. It allows local workforce programs to use existing individual training accounts - previously used for adult workers - to pay for career training for youth aged 16-21 who are still in school or not in school. The training must be provided by approved providers for skills aligned with local job market needs. This change directly affects young people seeking work experience or education beyond high school, making it easier to access subsidized training through existing systems.

Maddy summaryHR 2394, the DETERRENCE Act, amends federal criminal sentencing laws to increase penalties for certain offenses when committed "knowingly at the direction of or in coordination with a foreign government." It applies to existing crimes including kidnapping (up to 10 additional years), murder-for-hire (up to 10 years if injury occurs), stalking (up to 30 months), attacks on federal officials (up to 10 years), and threats against presidential staff (up to 10 years). The bill adds specific sentencing enhancements where foreign government involvement is proven, with higher penalties for offenses causing injury, using weapons, or resulting in death. It directly affects individuals convicted of these crimes under the specified circumstances.

Maddy summaryThis bill (HR 2199) prevents private health insurance plans from discriminating against patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) who require dialysis. It amends the Social Security Act to prohibit plans from treating dialysis coverage differently than other medical services or applying network restrictions that disproportionately harm ESRD patients. The law clarifies that plans cannot deny or limit benefits for dialysis based on a patient’s diagnosis, while preserving a plan’s right to choose which dialysis providers are in their network. It directly affects ESRD patients and their private health insurance coverage, ensuring dialysis is treated equally with other covered medical services. The bill does not require plans to include specific dialysis providers but stops them from unfairly restricting access to necessary care.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies Medicare's physician self-referral rules to improve access for rural communities. It creates a new exemption for "covered rural hospitals" (defined as facilities in rural areas more than 35 miles from another hospital or critical access hospital) from certain restrictions on physicians owning hospitals. The bill also removes a prohibition on expanding existing physician-owned hospitals, allowing such expansions after the law's enactment. These changes directly affect rural hospitals seeking Medicare participation and physicians who own or operate hospitals in underserved areas.

Maddy summaryThis bill changes a tax rule for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) that use taxable subsidiaries. It increases the percentage limit for assets held in these subsidiaries from 20% to 25% of a REIT's total assets, directly affecting REIT companies that operate through such subsidiaries. The key provision amends the Internal Revenue Code to restore this higher asset threshold, which had been reduced earlier. The change applies to taxable years starting after December 31, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis bill reauthorizes the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program, providing $400 million annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2031 to support federal efforts in designated high-drug-trafficking regions. It requires the program director to identify and develop evidence-based "promising practices" for HIDTA programs, focusing on tracking drug trafficking sources, coordinating multi-level responses to drug-related crimes, and implementing substance use disorder prevention strategies. These practices must be reviewed for effectiveness and shared with all HIDTA regions starting in 2026. The bill directly affects HIDTA-designated communities and federal agencies managing drug enforcement coordination.

Radiation Oncology Case Rate Value Based Program Act of 2025 or the ROCR Value Based Program Act This bill establishes a specialized payment program under Medicare for providers and suppliers of radiation oncology services.  Specifically, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must establish a program under which radiation therapy providers (i.e., hospital outpatient departments) and suppliers (i.e., physician group practices and freestanding radiation therapy centers) receive payments for each episode of care provided to individuals with specified types of cancer. An episode of care  means the period beginning on the day radiation therapy planning is furnished to the individual and ending (1) for individuals with bone or brain metastases, 30 days later; and (2) for individuals with other cancer types, 90 days later. Participation in the program is mandatory for providers and suppliers that participate in Medicare, unless the provider or supplier is part of a state-based Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation model or qualifies for a significant hardship exemption. The CMS must set payment rates for the program based on national payment rates with specified adjustments (e.g., geographic adjustments). Providers and suppliers who provide certain transportation services for individuals under their care may receive an additional payment. Providers and suppliers must be accredited in accordance with certain standards, subject to payment reductions. The Government Accountability Office must report on (1) implementation of the program, and (2) underserved areas that are in need of more or newer radiation therapy resources.

Maddy summaryHR 1156, the Pandemic Unemployment Fraud Enforcement Act, extends the time limit for prosecuting fraud related to pandemic unemployment programs. It adds a 10-year window for criminal or civil actions against individuals who falsely claimed benefits under Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC), or Mixed Earner Unemployment Compensation (MEUC). The law applies only to fraud committed during these specific pandemic-era programs and does not revive cases where the original statute of limitations had already expired before this bill passed. This change gives authorities more time to pursue fraud cases without altering the programs' core eligibility rules.

Maddy summaryHR 2062 would allow taxpayers to deduct membership fees and medical expenses paid through health care sharing ministries (HCSMs) as medical expenses on their federal tax returns, similar to other health costs. It specifically adds HCSM membership to the list of deductible medical expenses under Internal Revenue Code Section 213(d)(1) and clarifies that HCSMs are not treated as health insurance under Section 7702C. This change directly affects individuals enrolled in HCSMs, which are faith-based or community-based cost-sharing groups operating outside traditional insurance. The bill would take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis bill changes how individual investors in mutual funds (regulated investment companies) are taxed on certain dividends. It allows investors to defer paying tax on capital gain dividends that are automatically reinvested in additional fund shares through a dividend reinvestment plan. The deferred tax is recognized later when the investor sells shares or upon their death. It also establishes that shares acquired through this reinvestment are treated as held for over one year from the start, potentially qualifying for long-term capital gains rates. The rule applies only to individual investors (not estates, trusts, or dependents claimed by others).
