The coins will be sold to the public at face value plus surcharges ($35, $10, and $5 per coin, respectively), with all surcharge revenue paid to FWC2026 US, Inc. for U.S. soccer programs. These funds must support soccer initiatives, particularly in underserved communities and youth development, as specified in the bill.

Maddy summaryHRES 1613 is a non-binding resolution recognizing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for continued U.S. leadership in ending pediatric HIV/AIDS globally. It highlights that 57% of children with HIV were on treatment in 2023 (compared to 77% of adults) and calls for scaling up prevention of mother-to-child transmission and expanding pediatric HIV treatment access. The resolution specifically encourages the PEPFAR program to develop a dedicated pediatric HIV strategy aligned with global goals. As a formal expression of congressional support, it does not create new law but reaffirms the U.S. commitment to reducing new pediatric HIV infections.

Maddy summaryHR 10337, the Expanding the Health Care Workforce Act, creates a federal grant program to develop health care career pathways for high school students. It provides grants to hospitals partnering with secondary schools to establish structured work-based learning programs, requiring students to complete 20-100 hours of hands-on training in hospitals over five years, with specific hour requirements per grade. Priority is given to projects serving medically underserved communities, and grants must expand existing programs in 25% of cases. The program mandates annual reporting on student outcomes, including graduation rates, health care workforce entry, and post-secondary enrollment, with a final evaluation report to Congress after five years. This initiative directly affects secondary school students in underserved areas and participating hospitals through new educational partnerships.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the Foreign Agents Registration Act to require individuals who previously acted as agents for foreign governments or organizations to retroactively register with the U.S. government for any period they served in that role, even if they no longer work as agents. It directly affects past foreign agents who failed to register during their service under the 1938 law. The key provision allows the Attorney General to seek court orders mandating retroactive registration compliance for past periods, even if the person is no longer acting as an agent at the time the order is issued.

The coins must feature Clemente's image and inscriptions like "Roberto Clemente" and "2027," with all sales including a surcharge ($5-$35 per coin) paid to the Roberto Clemente Foundation. The foundation, which supports youth sports, education, and disaster relief programs, will use these funds for its mission, while the U.S. Treasury must recover all production costs. The coins will be sold exclusively in 2027, with no net cost to the government.

Maddy summaryThe Jeanette Acosta Invest in Women’s Health Act of 2024 would expand access to preventive cancer screenings (including breast, cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancer screenings) for women, with a focus on low-income women, women of color, rural communities, and underserved populations. It authorizes $20 million annually for grants to health care providers - such as family planning centers - to increase screenings and establishes a training program for health care providers on best practices and cultural competency to address racial disparities. The bill also mandates a study analyzing cancer screening rates and disparities by race, income, geography, and insurance status, with reports to Congress every five years. These provisions aim to improve early detection, reduce mortality, and address systemic barriers in women’s cancer care.

Maddy summaryHR 9151 establishes a new Department of Justice task force within 120 days to investigate and prosecute international trade crimes like tariff evasion, smuggling, and trade-based money laundering. The task force will hire specialized prosecutors, coordinate with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security, and focus on violations under specific U.S. Code sections including smuggling (18 U.S.C. 545) and fraud (18 U.S.C. 1001). It authorizes $20 million for fiscal year 2025, with 80% dedicated to criminal prosecutions, and requires annual congressional reports detailing case statistics, funding use, and future needs. The bill directly affects importers/exporters engaging in trade violations and DOJ agencies handling cross-border enforcement.

Maddy summaryThe Working Dog Commemorative Coin Act (HR 807) directs the U.S. Treasury to mint three types of commemorative coins honoring working dogs' service: $5 gold coins, $1 silver coins, and half-dollar coins with specific weight and composition requirements. Each coin will carry a surcharge ($35 for $5 coins, $10 for $1 coins, $5 for half-dollars) that will be paid directly to America's VetDogs to support their programs providing service dogs for veterans, the disabled, and others. The coins will be issued in 2027 with designs reflecting working dogs' roles in military, detection, therapy, and assistance work. The legislation specifies that all surcharge revenue must fund America's VetDogs' operations without creating new government programs. This is a commemorative measure focused on honoring working dogs' contributions through coin sales, with all surcharge funds going to a specific nonprofit organization.

Maddy summaryThis bill renames a specific U.S. Postal Service facility in Rockford, Illinois, to honor Jay P. Larson. The building at 5225 Harrison Avenue will officially be called the "Jay P.

This is a purely administrative designation with no policy changes or direct impact on citizens or services.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a Truth and Healing Commission to investigate the history and impacts of U.S. Indian Boarding School policies on Native American communities, including cultural, emotional, and physical effects on survivors, descendants, and tribal communities. The Commission will document these impacts through research, public meetings, and testimony, working with two advisory committees focused on Native American perspectives and Federal agency coordination. The Commission will operate for six years, with annual reports to Congress and a final report containing recommendations for Federal action. The bill also includes provisions for managing burial sites related to boarding schools and ensures the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act applies to remains found on Federal lands related to these schools.
