Rep. Zachary Nunn

Maddy summaryThis bill requires fertilizer manufacturers and wholesalers to report weekly prices and quantities of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and fertilizer products to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The reporting must distinguish between domestic and foreign sources while exempting agricultural cooperatives and non-manufacturer retailers from mandatory requirements, though they may voluntarily provide data. The Secretary of Agriculture will make this information publicly available on a weekly basis through a dashboard that aggregates data to protect confidential business details. A separate retail survey program will supplement manufacturer reports with regional price estimates, and the Secretary must review reporting requirements every two years to ensure they remain accurate. The legislation explicitly states that these reporting requirements do not override existing antitrust laws.

This resolution recognizes the importance of fully funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The resolution also (1) cautions that Americans are at greater risk each day DHS is subject to a lapse in appropriations, and (2) expresses gratitude to DHS employees for their commitment to protect the United States.

Love Lives On Act of 2025 This bill extends entitlement for various benefit programs and services for surviving spouses of deceased members of the Armed Forces or veterans. The bill provides that the remarriage of a surviving spouse must not bar the furnishing of dependency and indemnity compensation or special pension benefits to such spouse. Additionally, the Department of Defense may not terminate the payment of an annuity for a surviving spouse under the Survivor Benefit Plan solely because the surviving spouse remarries. The bill also expands the definition of a dependent under TRICARE to include a remarried widow or widower whose subsequent marriage has ended due to death, divorce, or annulment.

Maddy summaryThis bill would allow certain oral contraceptive drugs to be sold over-the-counter to adults aged 18 and older by requiring the FDA to prioritize their review and waive associated application fees. It specifically excludes emergency contraceptives and drugs also approved for induced abortion from these provisions. The legislation also directs the Government Accountability Office to study how federal programs fund contraception over the past 15 years, covering Medicare, Medicaid, and other health services.

Maddy summaryThis resolution expresses support for designating March 24, 2026, as National Agriculture Day to honor the agricultural industry. It does not create new laws or change existing policies but serves as a symbolic gesture to recognize agriculture's economic importance in the United States. The measure is a non-binding expression of appreciation rather than a legislative action with enforceable provisions.

Maddy summaryThis bill expands the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) by modifying funding rules and adding new program features. It allows 100% federal funding for projects in persistent poverty areas (defined by 30-year poverty rates), requires 90% of funds to be spent on redeemed incentives at retailers, and creates cooperative agreements to scale statewide programs through partnerships with SNAP agencies or nonprofits. It also establishes new produce prescription grants ($100,000-$400,000 for pilots, $1-2.5 million for expansion) with specific criteria for clinical research and patient cohorts. The bill directly affects low-income SNAP participants in designated poverty areas, retailers accepting incentives, and community health centers participating in produce prescription programs.

Maddy summaryHR 1799, the Financial Reporting Threshold Modernization Act, raises reporting thresholds for financial institutions handling large cash transactions. It increases the threshold for currency transaction reports from $10,000 to $30,000 and adjusts suspicious activity report thresholds from $5,000/$2,000 to $10,000/$3,000. The bill requires automatic updates to these thresholds every five years using the Consumer Price Index to account for inflation. This directly affects banks, money services businesses, and other entities that must file these reports under U.S. financial regulations.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a dedicated Transportation Security Trust Fund to ensure money collected from airline passenger security fees is used exclusively for aviation security purposes. The fund would support the Transportation Security Administration by paying salaries and benefits for its personnel, funding passenger and baggage screening operations, and purchasing security technology and infrastructure. Additionally, the legislation guarantees that aviation security operations can continue without interruption during government funding lapses, prioritizing frontline staff compensation and operational expenses before using remaining funds for technology upgrades.

Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025 This bill imposes sanctions on certain foreign persons (individuals and entities) that are involved in Iran's petroleum sector as well as certain associated persons. The bill also requires or authorizes actions to facilitate the enforcement of sanctions on Iran. Specifically, the bill requires the President to impose visa- and property-blocking sanctions on any foreign person that, after the bill's enactment, knowingly engages in any transaction related to the processing, export, or sale of oil, condensates, gas, liquefied natural gas, or other petrochemical products in whole or in part from Iran. The President must also impose sanctions on certain foreign persons associated with a sanctioned individual or entity. For example, the President must sanction the subsidiaries and corporate officers of a sanctioned business. The bill provides certain exceptions to these sanctions, including specifying that sanctions do not apply to the importation of goods or to conducting or facilitating transactions for humanitarian assistance. The Department of State must establish an interagency working group that shall seek to establish a multilateral contact group to coordinate international efforts to enforce sanctions on Iran. The bill expands the State Department rewards program to authorize a reward payment to any individual who furnishes information leading to the identification of a person (1) subject to sanctions under this bill, or (2) that has attempted or is attempting to evade sanctions under this bill.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the State Veterans Homes Inspection Simplification Act, would allow certain State Veterans Homes that are already certified by the Department of Veterans Affairs to be automatically considered compliant with Medicare and Medicaid nursing home standards. Under this proposal, facilities meeting specific VA inspection and certification requirements would not need to undergo separate reviews by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, reducing duplication of effort. The legislation maintains oversight by requiring the VA to submit its inspection standards for review every two years, allowing CMS to conduct targeted surveys or complaints investigations, and mandating public reporting of inspection data on the Nursing Home Care Compare website. A Government Accountability Office report would be required three years after enactment to evaluate the bill's impact on survey efficiency, enforcement outcomes, and resident care quality.
