Maddy summaryHR 3777, the Public Land Search and Rescue Act, creates a federal grant program to fund remote search and rescue activities on public lands managed by the Interior or Agriculture Departments. The program provides up to 75% federal funding for eligible states or local teams to purchase equipment, maintain gear, and reimburse costs for locating and rescuing people lost or injured in remote areas. Priority is given to areas with high visitor-to-resident ratios, and grants require applicants to be legally authorized to conduct such rescues. This bill directly affects state/local search and rescue organizations operating on federal lands by providing new funding mechanisms for their remote operations.

Maddy summaryHR 649, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025, amends the National School Lunch Act to allow schools participating in the program to offer students both organic and non-organic whole milk, in addition to reduced-fat, low-fat, and fat-free options. Key provisions include clarifying that milk fat in whole milk should not count toward saturated fat limits for meal compliance, prohibiting schools from purchasing milk from Chinese state-owned enterprises, and ensuring schools cannot be barred from offering the full range of milk types listed. The bill directly affects public and private schools serving the National School Lunch Program by expanding their milk options for students. It focuses on concrete policy changes to dietary offerings and sourcing restrictions within the school nutrition program.

Maddy summaryHR 3598, the Deescalation Drone Pilot Program Act of 2025, establishes a federal pilot program to test nonlethal drones for law enforcement during active shooter events. The program, managed by the FAA, will review nonlethal devices (like sound emitters or cameras) for drones, develop training and safety protocols, and assess effectiveness in indoor scenarios to increase officer safety. It requires drones to be manufactured in the U.S. and mandates a report to Congress within 3 months of the pilot's conclusion, followed by rulemaking to create a formal approval process for law enforcement use. The bill directly affects Federal, State, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies responding to active shooter events as defined by the legislation.

This joint resolution allows off-road vehicles to be used in certain areas of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, which is in northern Arizona and southeastern Utah and contains Lake Powell. Specifically, the joint resolution nullifies the rule issued by the National Park Service (NPS) titled Glen Canyon National Recreation Area; Motor Vehicles  and published on January 13, 2025. Under the rule, the NPS limited the use of off-road vehicles, such as off-highway vehicles and all-terrain vehicles, in certain areas. For instance, the rule prohibited the use of off-road vehicles on an 8-mile segment of the Poison Spring Loop located on Route 633 proceeding north to Route 730 in the Orange Cliffs Special Management Unit. The rule also eliminated the authority of the NPS to open the upper portion of the Flint Trail in that unit to off-road vehicles. Additionally, the rule limited off-road vehicle use from certain roads to the shoreline of the lake.

Maddy summaryHR 3595, the Safe Prescribing Through Reporting Act of 2025, requires healthcare providers to share certain records about prescribing or dispensing medications for substance use disorder with state prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs), but only when state law already mandates such reporting. This bill does not create new reporting requirements but ensures federal law aligns with existing state rules. It directly affects healthcare providers (like doctors and pharmacists) who prescribe or dispense medications for addiction treatment, as they must comply with their state's PDMP reporting rules. The key provision amends federal law to clarify that such disclosures are permissible under applicable state law.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to exempt certain employees in the outdoor recreation industry from overtime pay requirements. It specifically applies to employees primarily engaged in outdoor recreational outfitting (like equipment rentals) or guiding services, but only if their business meets one of two seasonal criteria: operating for fewer than seven months annually, or having average receipts for six months that don't exceed 33 1/3% of receipts during the other six months. The exemption applies to wages and overtime compensation for workweeks starting after the bill's enactment date. This change directly affects small seasonal outdoor recreation businesses and their employees who meet the specified operational thresholds.

Maddy summaryThis bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to study whether the Bonneville Shoreline Trail should be officially designated as part of the National Trails System. The study will assess the feasibility of designating this 280-mile trail system, which follows the historic shoreline of ancient Lake Bonneville from the Idaho-Utah border to Nephi, Utah. The bill does not create the trail or change current management but requires a federal evaluation to inform future decisions. This study would determine if the trail meets criteria for formal designation under the National Trails System Act.

Maddy summaryHR 1001 requires federal agencies to create a memorandum of understanding (MOU) addressing how a specific 2024 record of decision (related to Glen Canyon Dam operations) might impact the Upper Colorado River Basin Fund. The MOU, developed with the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Work Group, must establish a plan to address three key areas: potential effects on infrastructure costs and operations, impacts on hydropower production and grid reliability, and effects on endangered species. It directly affects the Interior Department, Energy Department, and the fund managing hydropower revenues from Glen Canyon Dam. The bill focuses on assessing and planning for potential financial and operational impacts, not on changing the record of decision itself.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a new program within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to provide point-of-sale incentives for purchasing specific dairy products. It targets SNAP households by offering incentives at checkout for fluid milk, yogurt, and cheese made from cow’s milk (defined as "naturally nutrient-rich dairy" under the bill). The program will fund competitive grants to state/local governments and nonprofits to implement these incentives, with $10 million allocated annually for implementation and evaluation. It also transitions existing dairy incentive projects into this new framework and repeals the previous program after a one-year transition period.

Maddy summaryHR 2238, the Ranching Without Red Tape Act of 2025, streamlines minor maintenance projects for ranchers holding grazing permits on U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands. It requires the USFS and BLM to respond to rancher requests for minor improvements - such as repairing fences, wells, water pipelines, or stock tanks - within 30 days, or the request is automatically approved. The bill also mandates agencies to expedite such projects using existing administrative tools if approved. This directly affects ranchers with grazing permits on federal lands managed by the USFS or BLM, reducing bureaucratic delays for routine land maintenance.
