Maddy summaryThis bill (S 100) repeals the Corporate Transparency Act, which required businesses to disclose beneficial ownership information to the government. It directly affects businesses (especially small entities) that previously had to report who ultimately owns or controls them. The bill removes specific reporting requirements from Title 31 of the U.S. Code and eliminates related provisions in the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020. Key mechanisms include striking references to reporting sections (like 5336) and repealing sections of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act that established the rules. This would end the federal mandate for businesses to disclose ownership details to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

Maddy summaryS 94, the "Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act," authorizes three congressional gold medals for the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team members. The bill directs the Secretary of the Treasury to strike the medals, with one medal displayed at each of three locations: the Lake Placid Olympic Center, the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Museum in Minnesota, and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs. The legislation also permits the sale of bronze duplicates to cover costs, with proceeds going to the U.S. Mint. This is a commemorative measure recognizing the team's 1980 Olympic victory, not a policy change affecting current legislation or constituents.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires mandatory detention for certain noncitizens (aliens) charged with crimes resulting in death or serious bodily injury, specifically those who entered without inspection, had a revoked temporary visa, or fall under specific immigration categories. It directly affects noncitizens facing such criminal charges and crime victims or their families. Key provisions mandate U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to notify victims (or their families if deceased) about the alien’s identity, immigration status, custody details, and removal efforts. The bill also clarifies that these requirements do not override existing victim rights under other laws.
Maddy summaryS 83, the "Thin Blue Line Act," amends federal law to add a new aggravating factor for death penalty cases when someone kills or targets public safety officers. It directly affects law enforcement officers, prosecutors, firefighters, and other first responders who are killed or targeted while performing their duties or because of their role. The bill inserts a new provision (paragraph 17) into sentencing guidelines, specifying that killing an officer engaged in official duties, targeted due to those duties, or because of their status as a public safety employee qualifies as an aggravating factor for the death penalty. This change would allow federal courts to consider these killings as a specific reason to impose the death penalty under existing sentencing rules. The bill does not create new offenses but modifies sentencing considerations for existing murder charges involving public safety officers.
Maddy summaryThis concurrent resolution expresses congressional support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration, a 2020 agreement signed by 32 countries (now 39) that affirms women's health without international abortion mandates, protects family as society's foundation, and upholds national sovereignty over reproductive policies. It urges the U.S. government to rejoin the declaration, noting the U.S. was a lead supporter under the Trump administration but removed as a signatory under Biden. The resolution reaffirms existing U.S. law prohibiting federal funding for abortions or coercive family planning abroad, and calls for defending principles that "there is no international right to abortion." It does not change current policy but seeks to align U.S. foreign policy with the declaration's principles.
Maddy summarySRES 21 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating October 10, 2025, as "American Girls in Sports Day." It recognizes the positive impact of sports on young girls and celebrates women's athletic achievements in U.S. history. The resolution specifically calls for protecting "biological women and girls" in sports and references Title IX, while noting concerns about biological males competing in women's sports. This resolution does not create new laws or policies but serves as a symbolic recognition and call to action for sports organizations.
Maddy summarySRES 19 is a Senate resolution honoring former President Jimmy Carter's life and legacy, commending his decades of public service, humanitarian work, and diplomatic achievements including the Camp David Accords and founding The Carter Center. The resolution specifically recognizes his Nobel Peace Prize, efforts to combat diseases like Guinea worm, and 30+ years of Habitat for Humanity homebuilding. It formally mourns his passing and extends condolences to his family, while highlighting his role in establishing U.S.-China diplomatic relations and creating the Departments of Education and Energy. As a symbolic resolution with no policy impact, it directly affects no individuals or entities but serves as a formal Senate tribute to Carter's historical contributions.
Maddy summaryS 63, the "CBW Fentanyl Act," amends U.S. law to impose sanctions on foreign countries associated with officials who commit "covered acts" related to chemical or biological programs. It targets actions involving specific substances like benzylfentanyl (a fentanyl analog) and precursors, requiring the President to report on such acts and impose tiered sanctions - including suspending scientific cooperation, banning exports of controlled items, and restricting procurement from chemical/biological sectors - within 30-210 days. Sanctions escalate if countries fail to address violations, provide information, or comply with treaties like the Chemical Weapons Convention. The bill directly affects foreign governments and entities linked to these programs, with sanctions terminating after 1 year if compliance is achieved. (Note: Despite the title referencing fentanyl, the bill focuses on broader chemical/biological program violations under existing international treaties.)
Maddy summaryThis bill would allow individuals with a valid concealed carry permit from their home state to carry concealed handguns in other states that either permit concealed carry for residents or don’t ban it entirely. It applies to permit holders who are federally eligible to possess firearms, require government-issued ID, and must follow the host state’s specific restrictions (like where carry is prohibited). The bill does not override state laws on issuing permits but ensures reciprocity for those who legally carry in their home state, excluding machineguns and destructive devices.
Maddy summarySJRES 1 proposes a constitutional amendment limiting congressional terms: it would bar Representatives from serving more than three terms (including time filling vacancies lasting over a year) and Senators from serving more than two terms (including time filling vacancies lasting over three years). The amendment would only apply to future elections, not current members or terms served before ratification. It directly affects candidates seeking election to the House or Senate after the amendment is approved by states. The key provision sets a clear term cap for each chamber, with specific rules for handling vacancies to prevent circumventing the limit.
