It directly affects active-duty Air National Guard members who maintain required training schedules.

It requires a detailed strategy within 180 days and annual reports to Congress on progress, including sanctions imposed and funds recovered.

Maddy summaryThis bill would amend the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1987 to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization and prohibit its operations within the United States.

The bill mandates annual reports from the Secretary of State identifying Muslim Brotherhood branches worldwide and determining which should be designated as terrorist organizations under existing laws. These provisions would directly affect Muslim Brotherhood members, branches, and affiliated organizations seeking entry to or operating within the United States.

The law requires annual reports from the Homeland Security Secretary tracking how many people are denied entry or removed under these provisions. It directly affects non-U.S. nationals involved in Hamas-related violence against Israel since the October 7, 2023, attacks.

The key mechanism is a straightforward repeal, restoring all prior District laws as if the 2022 reform had never been enacted. The bill does not introduce new provisions but undoes existing reforms to the District’s law enforcement framework.

Maddy summaryHR 3965, the PEARL Act, requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to establish a 3-year pilot program adopting dogs from local animal shelters to train as support dogs for CBP’s existing Support Canine Program. The program must begin within 60 days of the bill’s enactment and will terminate three years after its start date. This bill directly affects CBP by creating a new mechanism to source and train support dogs from animal shelters, rather than purchasing or acquiring them through other means. The legislation focuses solely on implementing this specific pilot program with no additional policy changes.
