Maddy summaryThe No Tax Exemptions For Terror Act would deny tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and any organization determined to have ties to terrorism or terrorist groups. This means these organizations would no longer qualify for federal tax-exempt status, requiring them to pay income taxes on their earnings. The provision applies to taxable years ending after the bill's enactment date. The bill directly affects organizations identified by the government as having connections to terrorism.

Maddy summaryThe Retirement Investment Choice Act (HR 5748) codifies Executive Order 14330 into law, making its provisions permanent. This order aims to expand 401(k) investment options by allowing access to alternative assets like real estate and private equity, which were previously restricted. The bill directly affects employers sponsoring 401(k) plans and investment providers, requiring them to offer these expanded choices as a standard feature. By converting the executive order into law, it ensures these investment options become a permanent part of retirement plan structures rather than relying on temporary executive action.

Maddy summaryHRES 803 is a non-binding resolution urging the FDA to reassess the safety of all chemical abortion drugs based on recent independent studies. It specifically requests the FDA reevaluate safety data and publicly release a full safety review including real-world complications. The resolution does not change laws or create new requirements but asks the FDA to consider findings that claim complication rates are 22 times higher than current reports. This resolution directly addresses the FDA's regulatory oversight of these drugs, not other entities or policies.

Maddy summaryThis bill would deny visas and immigration benefits to individuals who adhere to Sharia law, directly affecting immigrants and visa applicants. It allows officials to revoke existing immigration benefits, deport people found adhering to Sharia, and penalize false statements about Sharia adherence. Decisions under this law would be final and unreviewable by courts. The policy changes immigration eligibility based solely on adherence to Sharia law, with no judicial oversight.

Maddy summaryThis bill would require all states to recognize valid concealed carry permits issued by other states, allowing permit holders to carry concealed handguns (excluding machine guns) in any state that either issues such permits or doesn't prohibit concealed carry. It directly affects law-abiding gun owners with valid permits from their home state, ensuring they can carry in states with similar permit systems or no prohibitions. Key provisions include treating valid permit documents as proof of legal carry (reducing officer stops), shifting the burden of proof to prosecutors if challenged, and allowing civil lawsuits for violations with attorney's fee awards. The bill does not override state laws restricting firearms on private property or government land, nor does it affect federal gun restrictions like those in section 922(q).

Maddy summaryHR 5636, the *Protect Consumers from Reallocation Costs Act of 2025*, prevents the Environmental Protection Agency from shifting renewable fuel obligations from small refineries with extended exemptions to other companies. It directly affects small refineries that have received extended exemptions under the Clean Air Act. The bill requires the EPA to include gasoline or diesel refined by these exempt refineries in the total fuel volume calculations for the year, rather than excluding it or reallocating the obligation. This change ensures small refineries’ production is counted toward overall fuel volume, preventing other entities from bearing their renewable fuel requirements. The law modifies Section 211(o)(9) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(9)).

Maddy summaryThis bill sets strict deadlines for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to process applications, directly affecting individuals and businesses seeking ATF licenses (like firearm permits). It requires the ATF to complete most applications within 90 days and firearm-related licenses under 18 U.S.C. §923 within 60 days. The bill also mandates quarterly public reports detailing application volumes, processing times, and reasons for delays or denials. Additionally, it directs the ATF to eliminate redundant steps and establish an appeals process for denied or delayed applications, using existing resources without new hiring.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the FDA to reinstate the 2011 safety program for mifepristone (the drug sold as Mifeprex) and bans its importation into the U.S. It creates federal liability for harm caused by illegal importers of the drug, allowing lawsuits for bodily injury or mental health harm resulting from unauthorized importation. The law applies specifically to telehealth providers, pharmacies, or others who knowingly import mifepristone across state lines. It takes effect 90 days after enactment.

Maddy summaryHR 5647, the Advocates for Families Act of 2025, requires states to allow parents, foster parents, or legal guardians of children in child welfare cases to access a family advocate who represents their interests throughout the process. The bill mandates states to establish professional standards for advocates, inform families about their right to an advocate, and report to the federal government on how this right affects child welfare services. It does not require states to fund these advocates but sets requirements for state implementation and transparency. The legislation also directs the federal government to submit regular reports to Congress on the program's implementation and impact.

Maddy summaryThis bill extends the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through November 21, 2025, ensuring continued coverage for policyholders. It directly affects homeowners and businesses in flood-prone areas who rely on NFIP policies for protection against flood damage. The key provision changes the program's expiration date in two specific sections of the law, updating the end date from September 30, 2023, to November 21, 2025. This extension prevents the program from lapsing and maintains access to federal flood insurance.
