Rep. John J. McGuire III

Maddy summaryThis resolution proposes to officially designate June as "Family Month" to highlight the importance of the traditional nuclear family. It also calls for the House of Representatives to stop recognizing Pride Month, which it argues has replaced the celebration of family values. The bill is sponsored by a group of representatives who believe that strengthening traditional marriage is essential for societal stability and population growth.

Maddy summaryH.Res. 1320 is a non-binding resolution that calls on all Americans to honor military personnel who died while serving in the pursuit of freedom and peace on Memorial Day 2026. The bill does not create new laws or change any policies; instead, it serves as a formal expression of gratitude and remembrance from the House of Representatives. Because it is a commemorative resolution rather than a procedural or funding measure, it has no direct legal effect on individuals or government operations.

Maddy summaryThe Border Patrol Supervisors Retention Act modifies federal overtime pay rules to include supervisors within the U.S. Border Patrol. Specifically, it expands eligibility for higher rates of regularly scheduled overtime pay to agents classified at grades GS-12 through GS-15, rather than limiting it to only those at the GS-12 level. This change directly affects supervisory staff who currently manage border operations and ensures they receive the same overtime compensation as their lower-grade counterparts. By updating the relevant section of the U.S. Code, the bill aims to standardize pay structures for these specific roles without altering other aspects of their employment or duties.

Maddy summaryThis bill would add pharmacist services to Medicare Part B coverage for beneficiaries, specifically covering pharmacist-led testing and treatment for illnesses like flu, COVID-19, or strep throat during public health emergencies. It defines covered services as those performed under state law, often requiring collaboration with a physician, and sets payment at 80% of the lesser of the actual charge or 85% of physician payment rates. Pharmacists would be prohibited from balance billing for these services, ensuring Medicare beneficiaries pay only their standard copayment. The changes would take effect January 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the U.S. Mint to produce commemorative $5 gold and $1 silver coins marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The coins must feature designs honoring victims and first responders (including the inscription "Never Forget") and will be sold only during 2027-2028. All surcharges ($35 per gold coin, $10 per silver coin) collected from sales will fund the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center, with no net cost to the federal government. The coins are legal tender but primarily intended for collectors, not circulation.

Maddy summaryThe Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act authorizes the creation of a new Smithsonian museum dedicated to women’s history, to be located within the National Mall Reserve in Washington, D.C. If the site is managed by another federal agency, the bill requires that agency to transfer the land after notifying Congress and relevant committees. The museum must ensure exhibits and programs accurately represent diverse women’s experiences by consulting a broad range of experts and community voices. The Smithsonian will submit biennial reports to Congress detailing how the museum meets these representation standards.

Maddy summaryThis resolution formally recognizes the critical role of the United States Special Operations Forces community in national defense and expresses support for the designation of SOF Week. The bill highlights the specialized training, dangerous missions, and unique contributions of these military units and their families to the nation's security. By passing this measure, the House of Representatives aims to honor the bravery and dedication of SOF personnel while acknowledging the importance of their annual conference.

Maddy summaryThe Federal Accountability for Felony Obstruction Act expands the legal definition of domestic terrorism to include acts that obstruct law enforcement officers or individuals seeking medical attention. By amending existing federal statutes, the bill ensures that property damage occurring during such obstructions is counted as part of the terrorist classification. This change directly affects individuals who engage in violent resistance against police or emergency responders, potentially increasing the severity of charges they face. The legislation focuses on tightening the criteria for what constitutes domestic terrorism rather than altering the underlying penalties for the acts themselves.

Maddy summaryThe In God We Trust Act requires the Administrator of General Services to display the national motto "In God We Trust" on every public building within the United States. This mandate applies to all federal buildings and must be completed no later than one year after the law is enacted. The bill specifies that the motto must be inscribed or displayed in a prominent location on each structure.

Maddy summaryThe Federal Halo Act creates a new federal crime for approaching or staying within 15 feet of a law enforcement officer after receiving a verbal warning to stop. This provision applies to any individual who knowingly violates such a warning with the intent to interfere with the officer's duties, threaten them, or harass them. The bill defines harassment as a course of conduct that intentionally causes substantial emotional distress to the officer without a legitimate purpose. Anyone convicted of this offense could face a fine, up to five years in prison, or both penalties.
