Maddy summaryThe Safe Sips Act of 2026 requires manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of drinks containing alcohol, THC, or other intoxicating substances to use a single, standardized color on the dispensing point of their packaging to help consumers quickly identify the type of intoxicant inside. To ensure accessibility for people who are blind or colorblind, the law also mandates a non-color identifier, such as text or a tactile feature, on these containers while prohibiting the use of that specific color on drinks that do not contain these substances. The Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of the Treasury will jointly create the technical rules for this system, which will take effect four years after the bill is enacted. Additionally, the Act prevents states and tribes from passing laws that are stricter than these federal requirements and establishes a process for penalizing companies that fail to comply with the new labeling standards.

The legislation also mandates the FDA to publish an updated five-year action plan for ALS and other rare neurodegenerative diseases, including resource needs and coordination strategies with broader disease communities.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a temporary funding mechanism for the United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund by requiring the Treasury Department to loan $3 billion annually to the fund for fiscal years 2027, 2028, and 2029. The borrowed money must be distributed immediately to victims as part of the annual payment and cannot be saved for future use. Interest on these loans will be set by the Treasury based on market rates and will be repaid only from future fines and penalties collected from state sponsors of terrorism after the fund ends. The authority to make these loans expires on September 30, 2029, and the funds are treated as direct spending rather than new appropriations.

This directly supports primary care providers licensed to serve underserved communities, using collaborative online learning to address care gaps.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires wagering and prediction market platforms to use facial recognition technology to verify that all users are over 18 years old before allowing them to place bets or orders.

The Federal Trade Commission is given the authority to enforce these age verification rules and can issue penalties for violations. Additionally, the legislation establishes a new Office of the Retail Advocate and an Advisory Council within the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to better protect individual investors and oversee the regulation of event contracts.
