Requires school districts to provide "period products" at no cost in middle schools and high schools and charter schools and repeals provisions prohibiting abortion services providers from providing instruction on human sexuality or sexually transmitted diseases

Maddy summaryThis bill requires middle and high schools, as well as charter schools, to provide free menstrual products to students starting in July 2025, with costs covered by state funds. It also removes a previous restriction that barred abortion service providers from teaching human sexuality or sexually transmitted disease courses. Under the new rules, schools must offer medically accurate sex education that covers topics like abstinence, contraception, consent, and online safety, while allowing local boards to decide on specific curriculum details and parental notification.

Urges Congress to admit Washington, D.C. to the union

Maddy summaryThis resolution urges the U.S. Congress to admit Washington, D.C., as a state, directly affecting the approximately 689,000 residents who currently lack full voting representation in the federal legislature. The text argues that D.C. residents already pay federal taxes, serve on juries, and defend the nation, yet are denied the ability to elect members to the House of Representatives or the Senate. It highlights that a 2016 local referendum supported statehood by an 86% margin and notes that other democratic nations typically grant their capital cities full political rights. The bill does not enact statehood itself but serves as a formal expression of support for the Washington, D.C., Admission Act, which would grant the district two senators and at least one representative.

Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to firearms

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to explicitly protect the right to own and carry firearms for self-defense and civil duty, while allowing local governments in specific counties to regulate these rights. The amendment mandates that any restrictions on firearm rights must meet a high legal standard known as strict scrutiny and prohibits the state from refusing to protect these rights. It permits cities and counties to issue permits for carrying firearms, set reasonable fees to cover administrative costs, and impose penalties of up to one year in jail or a $1,000 fine for violations. Additionally, the text exempts certain groups such as law enforcement officers, judges, and licensed security guards from local permit requirements and recognizes permits issued by the holder's county of residence.

Urges for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment

Maddy summaryThis bill urges the President and Congress to officially recognize the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It argues that the original 1972 version should be ratified because the seven-year time limit was not included in the text approved by states, whereas other historical amendments like the 27th included their timelines within the text. The resolution asserts that once states ratify an amendment, that decision cannot be revoked, and it calls on other states to pass similar resolutions supporting this recognition.
