Maddy summaryHR 3828 designates the U.S. Postal Service facility at 80 Prospect Street in Avon, New York, as the "Officer Anthony Mazurkiewicz Memorial Post Office Building." This bill directly affects the physical location of that post office and all official references to it. The key provision updates all federal documents, maps, and records to use the new memorial name instead of the address. As a naming resolution, it has no policy impact beyond commemoration and does not alter postal services or operations.

Maddy summaryHR 3792 extends U.S. security funding for Israel through 2028 (Section 3) and expands energy cooperation to include advanced nuclear technologies and carbon capture (Section 5). It requires annual reports on regional security partnerships involving Israel (Section 6) and ensures countries in the Abraham Accords can access U.S. development programs (Section 8). The bill also mandates reports on diplomatic efforts against ICC investigations targeting the U.S. and Israel (Section 10) and encourages people-to-people programs to strengthen the Abraham Accords (Sections 7, 9). These provisions directly affect Israel’s diplomatic engagement, security partnerships, and economic cooperation in the Middle East.

Maddy summaryThe SHOPP Act (HR 3127) expands the types of healthy foods SNAP participants can buy with their benefits. It allows fresh frozen fruits and vegetables to count toward nutrition incentives year-round and adds legumes (like beans and lentils) to the list of eligible items. This directly affects SNAP recipients by increasing access to affordable, nutritious options beyond just fresh produce. The changes take effect March 6, 2024, modifying the 2008 Food, Conservation, and Energy Act.

Maddy summaryHR 3773, the Stop Anti-Semitism on College Campuses Act, requires colleges and universities receiving federal funding to prohibit any event promoting antisemitism on campus. This includes not hosting, facilitating, funding, or supporting such events. The bill adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's 2016 definition of antisemitism - including contemporary examples - as the standard for determining prohibited conduct. The law directly affects all institutions covered by the Higher Education Act of 1965.

Retail Revitalization Act of 2023 This bill amends tax rules for real estate investment trusts (REITs). It increases (1) the share of equity investments a distressed retail tenant may receive from a REIT from 10% to 50%, and (2) the equity share for regular tenants from 10% to 30%. The bill also allows taxable REIT subsidiaries to accept equity in a retail tenant's businesses as a form of rent, subject to certain restrictions.

One Vote One Choice Act This bill prohibits states from using ranked-choice voting in federal elections. Ranked-choice voting is a system that allows voters to rank candidates on a ballot in order of preference.

Maddy summaryHR 3693, the Migrant Relocation Transparency Act, requires federal agencies (HHS for minors, DHS for adults) to consult with state governors and local leaders at least three business days before moving non-detained migrants. It mandates monthly reports to Congress, state governors, and the public detailing migrant numbers by family status, age, gender, country of origin, housing types, work permits, federal spending, and security screenings. The reports must be published online and include specific data on resettlement methods, educational resources, and whether relocations are temporary or permanent. This bill directly affects state/local officials and federal agencies managing migrant relocation, aiming to increase transparency in federal migration policies.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the Treasury Secretary to report quarterly on foreign countries imposing "extraterritorial" or "discriminatory" taxes targeting U.S. businesses. It mandates progressively higher tax rates (starting at 5% and increasing to 20% over time) on income and payments from foreign individuals and corporations in those countries. The U.S. government can also restrict federal procurement from such entities and consider these taxes in trade negotiations. These measures directly affect foreign businesses operating in the U.S. or conducting transactions with U.S. entities. The policy aims to counter foreign tax policies that the U.S. views as unfair under international tax norms.

Small Business Growth Act This bill increases from $1 million to $2 million to the limitation on expensing of depreciable business assets. It also increases the asset threshold amount used to reduce the expensing limitation.

Maddy summaryHJRES 39 is a joint resolution disapproving a specific rule issued by the Department of Commerce. The rule (87 Fed. Reg. 56868) outlined procedures for suspending import duties and estimated duties under Presidential Proclamation 10414, which related to certain imported goods. This resolution blocks the rule from taking effect, meaning the Department of Commerce’s procedures for suspending duties under that proclamation will not be enforced. The action directly affects importers and customs operations that would have relied on the suspended duty procedures. As a disapproval resolution, it does not create new policy but formally rejects an existing agency rule.
