Maddy summaryThe STOP Corrupt Bets Act of 2026 prohibits the trading of contracts based on political elections, government actions, sporting events, and military operations on regulated exchanges. This restriction applies to agreements, transactions, or swaps involving these topics unless they are used for legitimate hedging or commercial risk mitigation. The bill directs the Comptroller General to study prediction markets, including issues like insider trading and impacts on young adults, and submit findings to Congress within 60 days of enactment. It also clarifies that the law does not override state gambling regulations.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires group health plans and health insurers that cover obstetrical services to also cover infertility and iatrogenic infertility treatments, including procedures like in vitro fertilization and egg freezing. It defines infertility as the inability to achieve pregnancy after 12 months of unprotected intercourse or after standard medical treatment, and iatrogenic infertility as fertility damage caused by medical procedures such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The legislation establishes coverage standards that cannot be more restrictive than those applied to other medical benefits, prohibits penalties against providers for offering these services, and requires annual compliance reporting to the federal government.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates tax return preparers as official voter registration agencies, allowing them to distribute voter registration forms to clients. It requires in-person tax preparers to display registration forms visibly in their offices and online preparers to provide a prominent hyperlink to registration forms during their services. The law applies to professional tax preparers who handle at least 100 individual tax returns annually and to certified volunteer tax preparers receiving federal funding. Tax preparers are exempt from certain administrative duties like accepting completed forms or submitting them to election officials, and the Secretary of the Treasury must provide guidance and update volunteer tax site requirements to support these new responsibilities.

Maddy summaryHR 3447, the Chip Security Act, requires manufacturers to equip specific advanced integrated circuits (classified under export control numbers like 3A090) with security mechanisms before exporting them. These mechanisms must verify location and prevent unauthorized access, diversion, or tampering. The law mandates this for covered chips within 180 days of enactment, with a follow-up assessment within one year to develop additional security requirements. It directly affects U.S. chip exporters and importers of these high-tech products, aiming to strengthen export control compliance and national security.

Love Lives On Act of 2025 This bill extends entitlement for various benefit programs and services for surviving spouses of deceased members of the Armed Forces or veterans. The bill provides that the remarriage of a surviving spouse must not bar the furnishing of dependency and indemnity compensation or special pension benefits to such spouse. Additionally, the Department of Defense may not terminate the payment of an annuity for a surviving spouse under the Survivor Benefit Plan solely because the surviving spouse remarries. The bill also expands the definition of a dependent under TRICARE to include a remarried widow or widower whose subsequent marriage has ended due to death, divorce, or annulment.

Maddy summaryThis resolution formally recognizes the 1971 atrocities in East Pakistan as genocide and calls on the U.S. President to officially label the events as crimes against humanity and war crimes. It specifically highlights the targeted persecution of Hindu religious minorities, who were systematically killed, raped, and expelled by Pakistani military forces and allied Islamist groups. The bill does not impose new laws or sanctions but serves as a congressional statement to preserve historical memory and condemn the documented violence against civilians. It also affirms that entire ethnic or religious groups are not responsible for the actions of their individual members.

Maddy summaryThis resolution formally recognizes and honors six members of the Ohio Air National Guard who died in a KC-135 Stratotanker crash over Iraq on March 12, 2026. The bill specifically names the deceased service members and acknowledges their sacrifice during a refueling mission supporting Operation Epic Fury. It expresses the House's condolences to the families of the fallen and pledges that their service will not be forgotten.

Maddy summaryThis bill, the No Harm Data Centers Act, requires large data centers to pay their full share of electricity costs and infrastructure upgrades without shifting those expenses to residential or small business customers. It gives the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission authority to approve rates for data centers and mandates that utilities cover all transmission, distribution, and generation costs needed to support these facilities. The legislation also establishes a new penalty system for violations and directs the EPA to conduct an assessment of data centers' environmental and public health impacts.

Maddy summaryThe Energy Bills Relief Act aims to lower household energy costs and accelerate the development of low-cost, clean energy by modifying federal tax credits, expanding weatherization programs, and streamlining permitting processes. Key provisions include restoring tax incentives for renewable energy projects, increasing funding for low-income heating assistance, and requiring federal agencies to treat wind, solar, and storage projects with the same procedural fairness as oil and gas projects. The bill also establishes new incentives for upgrading the electricity grid, such as tax credits for transmission lines and grants for wildfire prevention measures, while creating mechanisms to ensure utilities serve public interests and protect consumers from price volatility.

Maddy summaryThe Fiscal Contingency Preparedness Act (HR 4642) requires the Treasury Secretary and OMB Director to annually examine how the federal government would respond to major crises like recessions, pandemics, natural disasters, or cyberattacks, including their short- and long-term fiscal impacts. It mandates these assessments be included in an existing annual report and specifies key crisis types to evaluate. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) must then review the methodology and results of these assessments within one year of the first report. The bill directly affects federal agencies responsible for fiscal planning (Treasury and OMB) but does not create new spending or alter existing programs. It focuses solely on improving preparedness through structured risk analysis.
