Rep. Sheri Biggs

Maddy summaryThis resolution expresses support for designating July 15, 2026, as Glioblastoma Awareness Day to raise public awareness about this aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer. The bill honors patients and caregivers while encouraging greater understanding of the urgent medical needs associated with the disease, which currently has a low survival rate and limited treatment options. It also calls for increased collaboration among government, private, and nonprofit organizations to advance research and develop better therapies for those affected.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify how citizenship is determined at birth, directly affecting individuals born in the United States and their parents. It would restrict automatic citizenship to children born to parents who are U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or active-duty military members, while also granting Congress the authority to pass laws enforcing these rules. By modifying the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, the measure aims to establish specific criteria for birthright citizenship that align with current immigration laws.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the National Institute of Justice to disclose the specific countries where ballistic-resistant body armor and its fibers are made when listing certified products. It prohibits any such product from being labeled "Made in America" if its fibers were produced outside the United States. Additionally, the Department of Justice is barred from using federal funds to purchase this armor unless it is manufactured domestically, with exceptions only if domestic options are unavailable or fail to meet existing quality standards. The legislation also mandates training for government entities receiving grants to help them understand these new sourcing and labeling rules.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes to amend federal law to prohibit marriages between individuals who are first cousins or closer relatives. It directly affects couples seeking to marry within the United States government's jurisdiction by adding them to the list of prohibited relationships. The key mechanism is a specific change to the U.S. Code that removes the legal exception allowing first cousins to marry. This legislation would make such unions federally invalid, though it does not alter state laws regarding marriage.

Maddy summaryHR 8603, the Dismemberment Abortion Ban Act of 2026, prohibits physicians from performing abortions that involve dismembering an unborn child and extracting it piece by piece or crushed from the uterus. The law allows exceptions only when the procedure is necessary to save the mother's life, while explicitly permitting other abortion methods for reasons such as rape or incest. It imposes criminal penalties of up to two years in prison or fines on physicians who violate the ban and creates a civil lawsuit system where women or parents of minors can seek monetary damages and attorney fees against providers. The bill also defines an 'unborn child' as a human organism from fertilization until birth and clarifies that the woman undergoing the procedure cannot be prosecuted or held financially liable.

Maddy summaryThe USA 6G Global Leadership Act directs the U.S. Department of State and other federal agencies to develop strategies for U.S. global leadership in 6G telecommunications technology. It mandates the Ambassador at Large for Cyberspace and Digital Policy to coordinate U.S. diplomatic efforts at upcoming international telecommunications conferences, consulting with the private sector and reporting to Congress. The bill also authorizes the Secretary of State to fund projects in developing countries that promote connectivity using trusted U.S. or allied telecommunications infrastructure. Additionally, it requires reports on a comprehensive U.S. 6G dominance strategy and on efforts by China and Russia to influence international telecommunications standards.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a framework to protect American-owned closed-source AI models from unauthorized extraction by foreign entities, particularly those from China and Russia. It requires the Secretary of State to conduct assessments identifying which foreign entities are conducting model extraction attacks or facilitating them through fraudulent account networks, then publish a public list of these actors for up to five years. The legislation authorizes the President to impose economic sanctions on identified entities and their affiliates, while also creating mechanisms for industry coordination and sharing information about threats. Importantly, the bill distinguishes between legitimate AI research conducted under contractual terms and unauthorized extraction attempts that bypass access controls or violate usage agreements.

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 summaryThe Great American Healthcare Plan is a comprehensive bill that modifies tax rules for Health Savings Accounts, expands access to health insurance through new marketplace pools, and strengthens price transparency for hospitals and medical providers. It allows individuals to use HSAs for wellness expenses like healthy food and gym memberships, lets parents and children access each other's HSA funds, and requires hospitals to publicly list their standard charges and negotiated rates. The legislation also mandates that administrative service providers share detailed pricing data with health plans and creates a mechanism for pharmacists and nurses to dispense certain low-risk prescription drugs under expanded access.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to clarify that protections against sex discrimination do not extend to gender identity. It directly affects employers, employees, and individuals involved in workplace discrimination claims by explicitly excluding gender identity from the definition of sex-based discrimination. The key provision is a rule of construction that interprets existing federal law in a specific way, rather than creating new protections or restrictions. This change would limit the scope of federal sex discrimination claims to biological sex rather than including gender identity as a protected category.
