Rep. Matt Gaetz

Maddy summaryHR 2213 sets a funding cap of $74,691,000 for the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and related toxic substances and environmental public health programs for fiscal year 2024. This bill directly limits the amount of federal funds these agencies can use during the 2024 budget year. The provision applies to all authorized appropriations for these specific agencies, preventing them from exceeding the stated amount. It is a budgetary restriction, not a change to agency programs or responsibilities.

Maddy summaryHR 2185 sets a spending cap of $7,767,000 for the U.S. Department of Interior's Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration Fund during fiscal year 2024. This bill directly affects the DOI's ability to allocate funds for assessing and restoring natural resources damaged by pollution or spills. The key provision is a strict limit on available funds for this specific account, preventing appropriations above the stated amount. The bill does not alter the fund's purpose or create new programs, only restricting its annual funding level.

Maddy summaryThis bill limits funding for the National Institute of Environmental Health Studies (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health, to $79 million for fiscal year 2024. It prevents the NIEHS from using more than this specified amount from any authorized appropriations. The provision applies directly to the NIEHS's budget authority for FY2024, setting a strict spending cap. This is a procedural funding restriction, not a policy change to environmental health programs.

Maddy summaryHR 2183 limits funding for the U.S. Department of the Interior's Central Hazardous Materials Fund to $10,010,000 for fiscal year 2024. This bill directly affects the Interior Department's hazardous materials program by restricting its available budget for that year. The key provision is a strict spending cap that prevents the use of funds exceeding this amount for the specified program. The bill does not change program policies or create new requirements - only sets a maximum funding level.

Maddy summaryHR 2191 blocks all funding for the Environmental Protection Agency's Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest System in fiscal year 2024 by setting its available funds to $0. This bill directly affects the EPA's ability to operate this specific system, which tracks hazardous waste shipments electronically. The key mechanism is a strict prohibition on appropriating any funds for this system during FY2024, effectively halting its operation unless Congress passes new funding. As a procedural funding limitation, it does not change environmental regulations but prevents the system from functioning without new appropriations.

Maddy summaryHR 2241 sets a funding limit of $3,503,000 for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Hazardous Materials Management program during fiscal year 2024. This bill directly restricts the amount of money the USDA can spend on managing hazardous materials under this specific program. It prevents the program from using funds exceeding this cap, applying only to the designated hazardous materials management activities within the USDA for that fiscal year.

This bill limits FY2024 funding for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Innovation Account, which the FDA uses to implement provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act relating to the development of medical products.

Maddy summaryHR 2296 sets a spending limit of $11,788,000 for building and facility projects at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and an unspecified "Related Agency" during fiscal year 2024. This bill directly restricts the budget available for infrastructure improvements at these two entities, capping all allocated funds for this purpose. The provision applies to all existing and future funding designated for these specific projects in the 2024 budget cycle. It does not alter FDA operations or regulations, only the financial allocation for physical facilities.

Maddy summaryThis bill sets a spending cap of $5.58 billion for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and related agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for fiscal year 2024. It directly affects the FDA's budget authority by restricting the total funds it can access during the fiscal year. The key provision is a hard limit on available funds, preventing the use of any amount exceeding $5,584,965,000. This is a straightforward budgetary restriction with no additional policy mechanisms or program changes.

Maddy summaryThe Safe Students Act (HR 2502) repeals the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, which had prohibited possessing firearms in federally designated school zones under federal law. It also amends related sections of Title 18 (U.S. Code) to remove references to the repealed law and adjust section numbering. This bill does not establish a new federal rule for school zones; it solely eliminates the existing federal prohibition on firearms in school zones. The repeal means the federal government would no longer enforce this specific ban, though state laws may continue to regulate firearms in schools.
