Maddy summaryThe Standing with Moms Act of 2023 requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to create a public website (life.gov) and an interactive portal within one year of enactment. The portal uses a question-based system to connect pregnant individuals with location-specific resources, including mental health support, medical services, financial assistance, childcare, and alternatives to abortion. It prohibits listing resources from organizations that provide or promote abortions and mandates multilingual access. The bill also requires annual reporting on website usage and resource gaps to Congress, focusing on improving support for pregnant and postpartum women.

Maddy summaryS 78 requires physicians performing abortions on minors from out-of-state to provide at least 24 hours' written notice to the minor's parent before the procedure, unless specific exceptions apply. It prohibits transporting minors across state lines to bypass parental involvement laws in their home state, with penalties for violations. Exceptions include life-threatening medical conditions, compliance with the minor's home state's abortion laws, or documented court authorization. The bill directly affects minors seeking out-of-state abortions, their parents, and medical providers who perform such procedures.

Maddy summaryThe Water Rights Protection Act of 2023 requires federal agencies (like the Departments of Agriculture and Interior) to respect state authority over water rights in all federal actions. It prohibits federal agencies from imposing conditions that conflict with state water law, such as forcing water rights transfers to the U.S. government, altering state-defined terms for beneficial use, or restricting water rights beyond state limits. The bill directly affects states, water users (including tribes and agricultural entities), and federal land management decisions. It ensures federal permits, leases, or approvals align with state water law without adding extra restrictions.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits the U.S. Department of Defense from requiring defense contractors to report greenhouse gas emissions. It specifically bans the Secretary of Defense from mandating any "greenhouse gas inventory" or reports on Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions from contractors holding federal defense contracts. The law directly affects defense contractors who would otherwise have been required to track and disclose their emissions data. It removes a specific reporting requirement for contractors under Defense Department contracts, without altering other environmental regulations.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits the Department of Defense from imposing new COVID-19 vaccine mandates without explicit congressional approval. It directly affects military members discharged or facing adverse actions (like separation or rank reduction) solely due to refusing the vaccine. Key provisions require the DoD to adjust discharges to "honorable," reinstate members to their prior rank, expunge adverse records related to vaccination status, and provide back pay for lost benefits. The bill also mandates equal retention and promotion opportunities for unvaccinated service members and creates exemption processes for specific cases like natural immunity or religious objections. These changes apply regardless of whether members previously sought vaccine accommodations.

Maddy summaryS 16, the Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2023, prohibits federal funding for colleges and universities that host campus health clinics providing abortion drugs or abortions to students or employees. It requires these institutions to submit annual certifications confirming their clinics do not offer such services, with funding eligibility contingent on this compliance. The bill defines "abortion drugs" broadly as any medication intended to terminate a pregnancy (excluding specific medical exceptions), and clarifies that campus health clinics - not hospitals - are covered under this restriction. This policy directly affects public and private institutions of higher education receiving federal funds, altering their funding eligibility based on campus health service offerings.

Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the President to appoint one additional federal district judge for Idaho's U.S. District Court, requiring Senate confirmation. It directly affects Idaho's federal judiciary by increasing its staffing capacity. The bill also includes a minor technical update to a federal court staffing table in Title 28 of the U.S. Code to reflect the new judgeship position. This is a procedural change focused solely on court staffing, with no broader legal or policy implications.

Maddy summaryThe Protect Funding for Women's Health Care Act prohibits federal funding for Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates, clinics, subsidiaries, or successors. It redirects these funds to other eligible health care providers - including community health centers, hospitals, and clinics that serve underserved populations - to ensure continued access to services like contraception, cancer screenings, prenatal care, and STI testing. The bill explicitly states it does not alter existing abortion funding restrictions or reduce overall federal support for women’s health services. This policy change aims to maintain funding availability for essential women’s health care while shifting resources away from Planned Parenthood.

Childhood Cancer Survivorship, Treatment, Access, and Research Reauthorization Act of 2022 or the Childhood Cancer STAR Reauthorization Act This act reauthorizes through FY2028 and modifies pediatric cancer research and related programs, including to expand collection of and access to relevant biospecimens and to support the transition of pediatric cancer survivors to primary care.

Focus on the Mission Act of 2022 This bill prohibits the Department of Defense from requiring the recipient of a federal contract to provide a greenhouse gas inventory or to provide any other report on greenhouse gas emissions.
