Rep. Nancy Mace

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as TREY's Law, aims to make nondisclosure clauses in contracts void and unenforceable if they prevent the reporting of sexual abuse involving minors. It directly affects victims of such abuse, their families, and anyone with knowledge of the abuse by allowing them to disclose these incidents without fear of civil liability. The law applies retroactively to agreements made before or after its passage and overrides any state laws that allow the enforcement of these specific clauses. While it invalidates clauses that silence abuse details, it permits parties to keep confidential other settlement terms like payment amounts, provided this does not stop the disclosure of the abuse itself.

Maddy summaryThis resolution formally condemns the politically motivated shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on April 25, 2026, and denounces political violence in general. It commends law enforcement agencies, particularly the Secret Service, for their rapid response that protected attendees and saved lives, while noting one officer was injured. The document calls on citizens and public figures to reject rhetoric that encourages violence and urges Congress to pass funding for enhanced security measures for national leaders. As a House resolution, it expresses the chamber's official stance on the incident without creating new laws or changing existing policy.

Maddy summaryThe PRIMATE Act prohibits the importation of live nonhuman primates into the United States, with specific exceptions for accredited zoos and aquariums. Under this law, importers must certify that these animals will not be used for experiments, testing, or breeding for such purposes. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will deny entry to shipments containing these animals, and violators face civil penalties of up to $50,000 per violation or forfeiture of the animals. The Department of the Treasury is required to issue detailed regulations to enforce these rules within one year of the bill's enactment.

Maddy summaryThis bill, titled the Territorial Protection and Sovereignty Act, ends the Temporary Protected Status program for individuals currently holding that status in the United States. It requires that any existing status grants terminate immediately upon the law's enactment. Affected individuals must depart the country within 60 days of the bill becoming effective to avoid being classified as unlawfully present. The legislation removes the specific legal protections previously established under Section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Maddy summaryThis bill expands federal civil commitment laws to allow the long-term detention of individuals deemed a danger to public safety, specifically targeting those with serious mental illnesses who engage in certain behaviors. It directly affects homeless individuals with mental health conditions by requiring officials to evaluate them for involuntary commitment if they commit crimes like burglary, drug distribution in public, or prolonged outdoor living. The legislation defines "urban camping" and "urban squatting" as specific offenses that, when combined with a serious mental illness, can lead to mandatory certification for continued confinement. By amending existing statutes, the act aims to address public safety concerns related to mental illness and homelessness through a legal framework that prioritizes institutionalization over other forms of care or release.

Maddy summaryThe Congressional Pension Integrity Act of 2026 prohibits Members of Congress from receiving annuity or retired pay based on their service if they are convicted of specific offenses committed while in office. The bill adds a new section to federal law that bars pension payments for individuals convicted of crimes including rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse of a minor, certain sex trafficking offenses, crimes of violence, and various federal crimes related to bribery, elections, theft, fraud, and obstruction of justice. Additionally, the legislation allows for denial of pension benefits if the House of Representatives determines that a Member engaged in sexual misconduct with an officer or employee under their supervision. These provisions apply to current and former Members and their survivors, with the ban taking effect for the Congress following the bill's enactment.

Maddy summaryThe FISH Act of 2025 establishes a public "IUU vessel list" of foreign fishing vessels, fleets, and their beneficial owners engaged in illegal, unreported, or unregulated fishing or fishing involving forced labor. It prohibits listed vessels from accessing U.S. ports, using U.S. port services, or having their seafood imported into the United States. The bill requires the Secretary of Commerce to develop procedures for adding vessels to the list based on clear evidence, including information from international organizations or U.S. authorities. It also authorizes sanctions against entities involved in IUU fishing or forced labor practices in the fishing industry, aiming to prevent seafood from illegal fishing operations from entering U.S. commerce.

Equal Representation Act This bill requires that the statement sent by the President to Congress after the decennial census indicating the number of persons in each state exclude noncitizens. (This statement is the basis for reapportionment of U.S. Representatives.) The bill also requires any questionnaire used in the decennial census to include a checkbox or other similar option for respondents to indicate whether the respondent and each household member is (1) a U.S. citizen, (2) a U.S. national but not a citizen, (3) a non-U.S. national ( alien under federal law) lawfully residing in the United States, or (4) a non-U.S. national unlawfully residing in the United States. The Department of Commerce must make public the number of persons in each state, disaggregated by each of these four categories.

Maddy summaryThis House Resolution proposes to expel Representative Cory Mills from the United States House of Representatives. The resolution cites multiple alleged instances of misconduct as grounds for expulsion, directly affecting Representative Mills and his ability to hold his seat. Key provisions detail allegations of domestic assault, a Florida court-issued injunction for protection against dating violence, and potential violations of House ethics rules regarding federal contracts held by companies he owns. Additionally, the resolution raises questions about the veracity of his military service record, including a Bronze Star award and claims about his unit and training.

Maddy summaryThe DEPORT Act of 2026 proposes changes to U.S. immigration law regarding terrorism-related offenses. It would require all naturalization applicants to attest under oath that they have not committed, have charges pending for, or intend to commit specific terrorism-related crimes. The bill also establishes new procedures for denaturalizing U.S. citizens, allowing convictions or credible evidence of these offenses to be used as grounds for revoking citizenship, with certain presumptions of illegal procurement. Furthermore, it would make individuals convicted of such offenses inadmissible to the U.S., deportable if denaturalized, ineligible for most immigration benefits, and permanently barred from future admission. These provisions directly affect naturalization applicants, naturalized citizens, and aliens seeking admission or other immigration benefits.
