Rep. Dina Titus

Maddy summaryThis resolution expresses the House of Representatives' position that Congress should take steps to prevent the privatization of the United States Postal Service (USPS), ensuring it remains a federal independent agency. It highlights USPS’s constitutional role, self-sustaining nature (relying on service revenue, not taxpayer funds), and critical functions - serving 168 million addresses daily, supporting rural communities, and underpinning e-commerce. The resolution opposes privatization, noting it would raise prices, reduce services, and harm the $1.9 trillion mailing industry. As a non-binding resolution, it reflects the House’s stance but does not create new law or policy.

Maddy summaryHRES 75 is a symbolic resolution recognizing the cultural and historical significance of Lunar New Year (celebrated as the Year of the Snake in 2025). It acknowledges Lunar New Year's origins in China over 4,000 years ago, its global celebration as Seollal (Korea) and Tết (Vietnam), and its importance to Asian American communities in the U.S. The resolution expresses respect for Asian Americans and others celebrating the holiday and wishes them a happy new year, but it creates no new laws, funding, or obligations. As a ceremonial resolution, it has no direct policy impact.

Maddy summaryHRES 73 is a non-binding House resolution condemning Belarus' January 2025 fraudulent presidential election and President Lukashenka’s authoritarian rule. It calls for free and fair elections with international monitoring, demands the immediate release of over 1,200 political prisoners, and supports continued U.S. aid to Belarusian democratic opposition groups. The resolution also condemns Belarus’ support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including hosting Russian weapons and facilitating the abduction of Ukrainian children. As a statement of congressional position, it urges sanctions against regime officials but does not create new legal requirements.

Sustainable Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Services in the Home Act This bill permanently allows services relating to cardiac rehabilitation programs, intensive cardiac rehabilitation programs, and pulmonary rehabilitation programs to be furnished via telehealth at a beneficiary's home under Medicare.

Maddy summaryHR 768, the Holocaust Education and Antisemitism Lessons Act, requires the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Director to study how states and school districts currently teach about the Holocaust and antisemitism in K-12 schools. The study will examine curriculum requirements, teacher training, educational materials used, and assessment methods across all states and a representative sample of school districts and schools. It specifically aims to identify gaps, resources needed, and how schools address antisemitism and genocide prevention in their teaching. The Museum must submit a report to Congress within three years of the bill's enactment, detailing findings on current practices and challenges. This bill does not mandate new teaching requirements but seeks to understand existing approaches to Holocaust education.

Maddy summaryHR 764, the Global Health, Empowerment and Rights Act, removes two barriers for foreign nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) seeking U.S. foreign assistance. It ensures these organizations cannot be denied funding solely because they provide health services (like counseling and referrals) using non-U.S. government funds, as long as those services comply with local laws. The bill also requires that foreign NGOs face the same rules on using non-U.S. funds for advocacy and lobbying as U.S. NGOs receiving similar aid. This directly affects international health-focused NGOs working in countries where U.S. aid is provided.

Maddy summaryHR 794, the Lunar New Year Day Act, would designate the Lunar New Year as a federal holiday by adding it to the list of official federal holidays under Title 5 of the U.S. Code. This change would directly affect federal government operations and employees, who would observe the holiday on the date of the Lunar New Year each year. The bill’s sole mechanism is amending the existing holiday schedule to include "Lunar New Year Day" following the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. It does not create new programs, allocate funding, or impact non-federal entities.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the U.S. Department of Education to proactively notify eligible college students about potential access to SNAP (food stamp) benefits. It targets students with a negative or zero student aid index (SAI) who file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Department must send annual written and electronic notices explaining SNAP eligibility and providing state contact information for applying. The bill also mandates consultation between the Education and Agriculture Departments to design these notifications. This is a policy change focused on improving access to nutrition assistance for low-income students already enrolled in college.

It does not create new laws or funding but emphasizes coordination across U.S. government agencies to support global education efforts.

Maddy summaryHRES 68 is a non-binding House resolution expressing strong disapproval of the President’s announcement to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement.

The resolution does not create new laws or affect specific groups but formally states the House’s position against withdrawing from the international climate accord. It was introduced by 115 co-sponsors and reflects broad congressional concern about reversing U.S. climate commitments.
