Rep. Tim Moore

Maddy summaryHR 3774, the HUD Accountability Act of 2025, requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide annual testimony before specific congressional committees. This bill mandates the Secretary testify each year on seven key topics, including public housing conditions, FHA mortgage fund health, oversight of grantees to prevent fraud, progress on homelessness, and HUD's overall mission delivery. The testimony must cover HUD's current programs, physical housing conditions, financial health of insurance funds, and other ongoing activities. This procedural bill directly affects HUD leadership by establishing a formal requirement for annual congressional reporting on department operations.

Maddy summaryHR 3780, the Border Operations Service Medal Act, establishes a new service medal for military personnel who served in designated border security operations between January 1, 2025, and the conclusion of those operations. It directly affects active-duty service members, National Guard, and Reserve personnel who participated in these operations. The bill requires the Secretary of Defense to design and issue the medal within 60 days of enactment, authorizing its wear according to standard military uniform regulations. This is a procedural measure to formally recognize service during specific border operations authorized by the President in January 2025.

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 summaryThis bill would reform immigration parole by requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant temporary entry only on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian needs or significant public benefit, reversing what the bill describes as systemic overuse. It imposes a strict annual cap of 3,000 paroles starting in fiscal year 2029, restricts parole for nationals of designated "countries of concern" without a State Department waiver, and allows states to sue if they claim financial harm exceeding $100 from parole decisions. The bill directly affects immigrants seeking temporary entry and DHS officials administering the program. Key mechanisms include the new cap, country restrictions, and state lawsuit provisions to enforce compliance.

Maddy summaryHRES 444 is a symbolic House resolution calling on all Americans to observe Memorial Day 2025 by honoring military personnel who died in service. It does not create new laws or affect specific groups, as it is a non-binding expression of national remembrance. The resolution states that Americans should commemorate the sacrifices of over one million service members who died pursuing freedom and peace, framing Memorial Day as a day to express respect for their ultimate sacrifice. This is a routine ceremonial resolution with no policy changes or concrete mechanisms beyond urging public observance.

Maddy summaryHRES 447 is a non-binding House resolution condemning antisemitism and honoring Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two Israeli Embassy employees killed during a peace-focused panel discussion in 2023. The resolution specifically condemns all forms of antisemitism - including violence, vandalism, and online harassment - and remembers the victims, who were killed by a far-left activist affiliated with the Party for Socialism and Liberation. It calls for enforcing existing hate crime laws and protecting religious freedom, without creating new legislation. This resolution symbolically supports Jewish communities and victims of antisemitic violence but does not alter legal requirements.

Maddy summaryHR 3597, the Protecting Circuit Boards and Substrates Act, creates two main incentives to boost domestic production of printed circuit boards and integrated circuit substrates. It provides a 25% tax credit for businesses purchasing US-manufactured circuit boards and substrates, and establishes a federal financial assistance program offering up to $300 million per project (with larger amounts possible with presidential approval) for manufacturing or research and development facilities in the United States. The program prioritizes small businesses, minority-owned businesses, veteran-owned businesses, and projects that expand domestic production capacity or relocate manufacturing from foreign-controlled areas. Recipients must use funds for specific covered incentives like facility construction, equipment, or workforce training programs, with strict clawback provisions for delays or inappropriate technology sharing with foreign entities of concern. The program requires coordination with multiple federal agencies and includes annual reviews by the Government Accountability Office to track outcomes.

Maddy summaryHCONRES 30 is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional support for local law enforcement officers. It does not create new laws or policies but formally recognizes their work through four non-binding actions: thanking officers and families for service, honoring those who died in the line of duty, and encouraging community-law enforcement collaboration. The resolution directly addresses Congress's acknowledgment of law enforcement efforts, not any specific group affected by a policy change. It has no legal effect or funding implications, serving solely as a statement of appreciation. This is a procedural resolution, not a legislative bill with concrete policy changes.

Maddy summaryHR 3512, the Tackling Predatory Litigation Funding Act, imposes a new annual tax on funds received by third-party investors who finance lawsuits through litigation financing agreements. It directly affects investors (including foreign entities) who provide funding to plaintiffs or law firms in exchange for a share of settlement or judgment proceeds, excluding small agreements under $10,000 or standard loans. The tax equals the top individual income tax rate plus 3.8 percentage points, with 50% withheld from settlement payments by parties involved in the lawsuit. The law also clarifies that such funds cannot offset losses and excludes certain typical legal fee reimbursements from taxation. The provisions take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.

Maddy summaryHR 3518 would deny federal funding to graduate medical schools that require certain diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Specifically, schools must certify they do not compel students or staff to affirm specific beliefs about race, gender, or systemic racism; require "diversity statements" for admission or employment; establish DEI offices; or discriminate based on race in programs. This affects graduate medical schools at institutions of higher education seeking federal financial aid, including student loan programs. The bill permits schools to teach about medical conditions related to race or collect demographic data, but prohibits policies mandating DEI-related pledges or offices.
