Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

Maddy summaryHCONRES 21 is a non-binding congressional resolution directing the President to withdraw all U.S. Armed Forces from Syria within 180 days of the resolution's adoption. It applies directly to U.S. military personnel stationed in Syria and relies on Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, which requires the President to withdraw forces if Congress passes such a resolution. The bill’s key mechanism sets a clear 180-day deadline for removal, without creating new legal obligations. This is a procedural step to express congressional intent on military deployment, not a law altering troop presence. (Adopted March 1, 2023)

Think Tank Transparency Act This bill requires certain nonprofit organizations to file a disclosure report with the Department of Justice (DOJ) after (1) receiving a gift, donation, or contribution of $10,000 or more in a calendar year from foreign governments, entities, or individuals; or (2) entering into or modifying a contract or agreement with such foreign sources. These disclosure reports shall be available to the public on the DOJ website. Generally, these requirements shall apply to certain nonprofit organizations that (1) seek to influence U.S. public policy or public opinion; (2) engage in or publish substantial policy-related research or scholarship; or (3) regularly promote events featuring reporters, journalists, or government officials. Furthermore, if such a nonprofit organization presents research (e.g., briefings or testimony) that was funded by a foreign source to Members of Congress, congressional employees, or executive branch officials, that foreign source must be prominently identified on any presented written materials. The bill permits the DOJ to bring a civil action against an organization to compel compliance.

Maddy summaryHR 1469 prohibits the Secretary of Defense from requiring mask-wearing on U.S. military installations to prevent COVID-19 spread. This bill directly affects military personnel, contractors, and visitors on all military bases within the United States. The key provision explicitly blocks the Department of Defense from implementing mask mandates for COVID-19 prevention on these installations. It does not address other public health measures or apply to civilian areas.

This resolution deems certain conduct of members of antifa as domestic terrorism and designates antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. The resolution calls on the Department of Justice to (1) prosecute crimes of domestic terrorism by antifa, and (2) use all available tools and resources to combat the spread of such terrorism by antifa.

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to require that the seats in the House of Representatives be divided among the states based on their share of U.S. citizens rather than their share of the total U.S. population.

Maddy summaryHR 1275 prohibits federal funding from being used to implement Executive Order 14091, which directed federal agencies to advance racial equity and support underserved communities. The bill directly affects federal agencies that would have allocated taxpayer funds toward programs or initiatives under the executive order. Its key provision blocks all federal financial resources for the order's requirements, preventing agencies from carrying out its equity-focused actions. This policy change stops the government from using public money to support the specific racial equity initiatives outlined in the executive order.

No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your Rights Act This bill modifies the retention requirements for firearm transaction records of federal firearms licensees (FFLs) that go out of business. Current law generally requires FFLs that go out of business to deliver their firearm transaction records to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). This bill removes the requirement for FFLs that go out of business to deliver their firearm transaction records to the ATF. Further, the bill requires the ATF to destroy all out-of-business records it has collected from FFLs.

Maddy summaryHR 1200, the National Right-to-Work Act, prohibits requiring workers to join a union or pay dues as a condition of employment in both private-sector workplaces (covered by the National Labor Relations Act) and railroad industries (covered by the Railway Labor Act). The bill amends key sections of these laws to eliminate provisions that allowed union security agreements, meaning workers in unionized settings would no longer be forced to pay dues to retain their jobs. This directly affects employees in unionized workplaces across the U.S., particularly those in industries with existing union contracts that included mandatory dues. The law changes the legal framework to ensure union membership and dues payment remain voluntary for all workers.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove the U.S. Armed Forces from Syria within 15 days of the adoption of this concurrent resolution.

CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act This bill limits the ability of the Federal Reserve to (1) provide direct services to individuals, and (2) use a central bank digital currency. A central bank digital currency is a digital currency (e.g., Bitcoin or Ether) issued by a government-backed central bank. Specifically, the bill prohibits the Federal Reserve and the Federal Open Market Committee from using any central bank digital currency to implement monetary policy. In addition, a Federal Reserve bank is prohibited from offering products or services directly to an individual, maintaining an account on behalf of an individual, or issuing a central bank digital currency directly to an individual. The Federal Reserve must (1) consult with each Federal Reserve bank with respect to any central bank digital currency study or pilot program, and (2) issue quarterly reports on the findings and determinations of any such study or program.
