Maddy summaryHR 53 (FIND Act) requires federal contractors to certify they do not refuse to work with firearm manufacturers, dealers, ammunition sellers, or related safety device companies based on bias. It prohibits main contractors from awarding subcontracts exceeding 10% of a contract’s value to entities that fail to make this certification, and bans efforts to circumvent the rule through complex subcontract tiers. The law applies to all federal procurement contracts, directly affecting businesses bidding on government work. Violations risk contract termination and suspension from future government contracts.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires large district attorney offices (serving jurisdictions of 380,000+ people) that receive federal Byrne grant funds to submit annual reports to the Attorney General. The reports must detail prosecution decisions for 10 specific violent crimes and gun offenses (including murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and firearm violations), such as cases declined, plea agreements, and defendant histories. The Attorney General must establish uniform reporting standards and share all collected data publicly with Congress and on a government website. This policy change directly affects major prosecutors' offices receiving federal crime-fighting funds, aiming to increase transparency in how they handle serious offenses.

Human Trafficking Prevention Act of 2022 This act requires the posting of contact information of the national human trafficking hotline in specific places.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates the legal boundary description of the Red River National Wildlife Refuge by replacing a 2000 map with a 2022 map, as specified in the refuge's enabling law. It directly affects the official administrative boundaries of the refuge but does not alter conservation management, land use, or public access. The change simply aligns the refuge's legal description with a more recent, approved boundary map. This is a procedural adjustment with no new policy or financial impact.

Cardiovascular Advances in Research and Opportunities Legacy Act This act addresses research, education, and awareness concerning valvular heart disease and its treatment. This disease is caused by damage to or disease affecting any valve that controls blood flow in the heart. The National Institutes of Health may conduct or support research on the disease in consultation with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The NHLBI must also conduct a workshop on mitral valve prolapse, which occurs when the valve between the chambers of the left side of the heart seals improperly. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must develop best practices to treat valvular heart disease. HHS may also carry out other projects to increase education and awareness of the disease.

This joint resolution nullifies the interim final rule issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) titled Reproductive Health Services and published on September 9, 2022.

(bounded by 22nd Street NW, P Street NW, and Florida Avenue NW) as "Ukrainian Independence Park," including National Park Service reservations 57D and 360 (which contains the Taras Shevchenko Memorial). The bill updates all federal references to this area to use the new name and authorizes signage highlighting Ukraine's independence and U.S.-Ukraine solidarity. This is a procedural designation bill with no substantive policy changes, solely renaming a park area.
