Maddy summaryThis bill reauthorizes the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program, providing $400 million annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2031 to support federal efforts in designated high-drug-trafficking regions. It requires the program director to identify and develop evidence-based "promising practices" for HIDTA programs, focusing on tracking drug trafficking sources, coordinating multi-level responses to drug-related crimes, and implementing substance use disorder prevention strategies. These practices must be reviewed for effectiveness and shared with all HIDTA regions starting in 2026. The bill directly affects HIDTA-designated communities and federal agencies managing drug enforcement coordination.

Radiation Oncology Case Rate Value Based Program Act of 2025 or the ROCR Value Based Program Act This bill establishes a specialized payment program under Medicare for providers and suppliers of radiation oncology services.  Specifically, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must establish a program under which radiation therapy providers (i.e., hospital outpatient departments) and suppliers (i.e., physician group practices and freestanding radiation therapy centers) receive payments for each episode of care provided to individuals with specified types of cancer. An episode of care  means the period beginning on the day radiation therapy planning is furnished to the individual and ending (1) for individuals with bone or brain metastases, 30 days later; and (2) for individuals with other cancer types, 90 days later. Participation in the program is mandatory for providers and suppliers that participate in Medicare, unless the provider or supplier is part of a state-based Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation model or qualifies for a significant hardship exemption. The CMS must set payment rates for the program based on national payment rates with specified adjustments (e.g., geographic adjustments). Providers and suppliers who provide certain transportation services for individuals under their care may receive an additional payment. Providers and suppliers must be accredited in accordance with certain standards, subject to payment reductions. The Government Accountability Office must report on (1) implementation of the program, and (2) underserved areas that are in need of more or newer radiation therapy resources.

Maddy summaryHR 1156, the Pandemic Unemployment Fraud Enforcement Act, extends the time limit for prosecuting fraud related to pandemic unemployment programs. It adds a 10-year window for criminal or civil actions against individuals who falsely claimed benefits under Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC), or Mixed Earner Unemployment Compensation (MEUC). The law applies only to fraud committed during these specific pandemic-era programs and does not revive cases where the original statute of limitations had already expired before this bill passed. This change gives authorities more time to pursue fraud cases without altering the programs' core eligibility rules.

Maddy summaryHR 2062 would allow taxpayers to deduct membership fees and medical expenses paid through health care sharing ministries (HCSMs) as medical expenses on their federal tax returns, similar to other health costs. It specifically adds HCSM membership to the list of deductible medical expenses under Internal Revenue Code Section 213(d)(1) and clarifies that HCSMs are not treated as health insurance under Section 7702C. This change directly affects individuals enrolled in HCSMs, which are faith-based or community-based cost-sharing groups operating outside traditional insurance. The bill would take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis bill changes how individual investors in mutual funds (regulated investment companies) are taxed on certain dividends. It allows investors to defer paying tax on capital gain dividends that are automatically reinvested in additional fund shares through a dividend reinvestment plan. The deferred tax is recognized later when the investor sells shares or upon their death. It also establishes that shares acquired through this reinvestment are treated as held for over one year from the start, potentially qualifying for long-term capital gains rates. The rule applies only to individual investors (not estates, trusts, or dependents claimed by others).

Maddy summaryThis is a non-binding resolution (HRES 206), not a legislative bill. It expresses the House's support for preserving the "stepped-up basis" tax provision (Section 1014 of the Internal Revenue Code), which allows heirs to reset the tax cost basis of inherited assets like farmland or business equipment to their current market value. The resolution cites that 98% of farms and 19% of businesses are family-owned, noting that eliminating this provision could increase taxes for 66% of midsized farms. It specifically urges opposition to new taxes on family farms and small businesses but does not change any tax law or policy.

Maddy summaryHR 1990, the American Innovation and R&D Competitiveness Act of 2025, amends tax rules for businesses to make research and development (R&D) costs more flexible. It allows companies to deduct R&D expenses immediately as business costs (instead of capitalizing them) or to spread these costs over a minimum 60-month period. The bill clarifies which R&D expenses qualify, excludes land improvements and mineral exploration costs, and ensures companies can claim R&D tax credits without conflict with expense treatment. This directly affects businesses that conduct R&D, changing how they account for these costs on tax returns starting for 2022 taxable years.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 620 East Pecan Boulevard in McAllen, Texas, as the "Agent Raul H. Gonzalez Jr. Memorial Post Office Building".

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Medicare payment rules for long-term care hospitals to ensure they receive full payments for treating seniors in critical condition. It adds a new "high acuity criterion" requiring discharges to be assigned to a specific Medicare payment category (MS-LTC-DRG) with a relative weight of at least 0.8, effective October 1, 2026. Hospitals meeting this criterion for eligible discharges will avoid reduced payments ("site-neutral payments") that would otherwise apply. The change directly affects long-term care hospitals treating Medicare patients with high-acuity conditions and ensures these facilities receive full reimbursement for critical care services.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies tax reporting rules for gig economy platforms (like Uber or DoorDash) by reinstating a pre-American Rescue Plan threshold. It requires third-party payment platforms to report income to the IRS only if a gig worker earns over $20,000 in a year or completes more than 200 transactions. This directly affects low-earning gig workers who would no longer receive tax forms for smaller earnings. The change simplifies reporting for platforms and reduces administrative burden on workers with minimal income from these platforms.
