Rep. Wesley Hunt

Maddy summaryHRES 547 is a resolution seeking to expunge the January 13, 2021, impeachment resolution against former President Donald Trump from the U.S. House of Representatives' official records. It argues the impeachment was based on incomplete facts, lacked due process (including no hearings or opportunity for the President to respond), and was rushed, with the Senate trial occurring after Trump left office. This procedural resolution does not change legal status or current law but aims to remove the impeachment from the House's historical record.

Maddy summaryHR 4245, the "Enforce the Caps Act," sets specific annual spending limits for discretionary federal programs from fiscal years 2026 through 2029. It establishes new budget authority caps at $1.622 trillion for 2026, increasing to $1.671 trillion for 2029. The bill directly affects how Congress allocates funds for non-mandatory programs like education, transportation, and defense by legally binding these spending levels. This is a procedural adjustment to existing budget control law, not a new policy affecting specific groups or creating new programs.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires all U.S. flags displayed on federal property or purchased by federal agencies to be 100% made in the United States, meaning all materials and manufacturing must occur domestically. It directly affects federal agencies (including military departments, legislative/judicial branches, and U.S.-owned corporations) and their procurement of flags for display on government property. Key provisions include a 90-day implementation for new flag purchases and a 2-year phase-in for display requirements, with a separate mandate for the FTC to study and report on country-of-origin labeling enforcement for flags within one year. The bill does not apply to private entities or flags displayed off federal property.

Maddy summaryThe TRACE Act requires the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) to add a data field tracking whether a missing person’s last known location was on federal land (e.g., national parks, military bases). It mandates an annual report to Congress starting in 2025, detailing how many cases involved federal land locations. The bill specifically defines "federal land" as areas under the jurisdiction of the Agriculture, Interior, or Defense departments (excluding tribal trust land), focusing on locations like national forests or Army Corps projects. This policy change directly affects cases involving missing persons near federal properties by improving data collection and transparency for federal agencies.

Maddy summaryHR 3792 extends U.S. security funding for Israel through 2028 (Section 3) and expands energy cooperation to include advanced nuclear technologies and carbon capture (Section 5). It requires annual reports on regional security partnerships involving Israel (Section 6) and ensures countries in the Abraham Accords can access U.S. development programs (Section 8). The bill also mandates reports on diplomatic efforts against ICC investigations targeting the U.S. and Israel (Section 10) and encourages people-to-people programs to strengthen the Abraham Accords (Sections 7, 9). These provisions directly affect Israel’s diplomatic engagement, security partnerships, and economic cooperation in the Middle East.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires that AM radio receivers be included as standard equipment in all new motor vehicles (such as cars and trucks) sold in the United States, with a rule to be issued by the Department of Transportation within one year. The rule must ensure AM radio is easily accessible on the dashboard and allows manufacturers to use digital AM radio technology instead of traditional AM. During the one-year period between the bill's enactment and the rule's effective date, manufacturers must clearly label vehicles without AM radio. The bill also directs a study to evaluate whether an alternative system could deliver emergency alerts as reliably as AM radio across the country, especially during crises.

Maddy summaryHR 3337, the Fuels Parity Act, removes a prohibition that previously excluded corn starch ethanol from being counted as "advanced biofuel" under the Clean Air Act. This change directly affects corn-based ethanol producers by allowing corn starch ethanol to qualify under renewable fuel standards. The bill also requires the EPA to update its methodology for calculating greenhouse gas emissions from corn-based ethanol and biomass-based diesel every five years, starting 90 days after enactment, with the first update mandating the use of the Argonne National Laboratory's GREET model. These provisions aim to standardize how emissions are assessed for these fuels under federal renewable fuel programs.

National Law Enforcement Officers Remembrance, Support and Community Outreach Act This bill directs the Department of Justice (DOJ) to establish a National Law Enforcement Officers Remembrance, Support, and Community Outreach Program. The bill further directs DOJ to award a grant under the program to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund for the expenses associated with community outreach, public education, and officer safety and wellness programs operated by the of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and National Law Enforcement Museum.

Maddy summaryHRES 363 is a resolution expressing support for recognizing National Police Week, an annual observance established by law to honor law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. The resolution acknowledges 556 officers killed in the line of duty during 2022 and calls for ensuring law enforcement officers have necessary equipment, training, and resources to protect both themselves and the public. It encourages the American public to observe National Police Week by honoring law enforcement personnel and recognizing their essential mission in serving communities across the United States. This resolution does not create new law but formally expresses congressional support for an existing observance.

Scope 3 Act This bill prohibits any securities law requirement that an issuer of securities must disclose the greenhouse gas emissions of its value chain (i.e., scope 3 emissions).
