Maddy summaryHR 2477, the Portable Ultrasound Reimbursement Equity Act of 2025, would amend Medicare rules to require equal reimbursement for portable ultrasound transportation and setup services as is currently provided for portable X-ray services. This change directly affects Medicare beneficiaries needing portable ultrasound exams and healthcare providers (like mobile clinics) who offer these services. The bill mandates that Medicare pay separately for portable ultrasound transportation and setup in the same way and to the same extent as portable X-ray services, using similar supplier requirements as existing regulations. The policy change would take effect for services provided on or after January 1, 2027.

Maddy summaryHR 2410 creates a 20% federal tax credit for developers converting older non-residential buildings (at least 20 years old) into affordable housing. The credit applies to qualified conversion costs, requiring that 20% of units be rent-restricted for residents earning 80% or less of the area median income for 30 years. It establishes a $12 billion national credit limit, with $3 billion reserved for conversions in economically distressed areas, and mandates state-level allocation plans prioritizing projects near transit and employment. The bill directly affects developers seeking tax incentives for downtown revitalization, not tenants or local governments.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Title IX to prohibit individuals assigned male at birth (based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth) from using locker rooms designated for females during active use in school programs. It directly affects transgender girls and schools implementing gender-segregated facilities. The key provision makes it unlawful under federal law to use such facilities when they are actively used by individuals of a different sex. The policy change takes effect 30 days after enactment.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires colleges receiving federal financial aid to prohibit events promoting antisemitism, using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's 2016 working definition (including contemporary examples). It bans institutions from authorizing, funding, or otherwise supporting such events on campus. The policy change applies directly to all higher education institutions covered by the Higher Education Act of 1965. This amendment modifies existing federal funding requirements for colleges.

Maddy summaryHR 2423, the Unfair Tax Prevention Act, amends the U.S. tax code to modify how the base erosion tax applies to certain foreign-owned businesses. It directly affects foreign-controlled entities operating under specific foreign tax systems that impose taxes based on ownership chains, such as those linked to foreign corporations. Key provisions include treating these entities as "applicable taxpayers" for tax purposes, changing a deadline from December 31, 2025, to the bill's enactment date, and counting 50% of their cost of goods sold as a tax benefit while excluding certain other tax rules. The changes apply to taxable years beginning after the bill becomes law.

Maddy summaryHR 2398, the Rural Veterinary Workforce Act, amends federal tax law to exempt certain student loan repayment or forgiveness assistance from income tax for veterinarians working in rural areas. It specifically expands existing tax exclusions to include programs under the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act (7 U.S.C. 3151a) and similar state-level programs designed to increase rural veterinary access. This change directly affects veterinarians participating in qualifying loan repayment or forgiveness programs in states prioritizing rural veterinary services. The policy change modifies IRS tax treatment to reduce the financial burden on veterinarians serving underserved rural communities.

Maddy summaryHRES 254 is a non-binding resolution recognizing the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps, to be observed on November 10, 2025. The resolution honors the Corps' founding at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia on November 10, 1775, its history of service in major conflicts, and its values of honor, courage, and commitment. It encourages public participation in commemorative events and local recognition of Marines' contributions to national defense.

Maddy summaryThe Cellphone Jamming Reform Act of 2025 allows state and federal correctional facilities to operate jamming systems that block cell signals from entering or leaving the facility, specifically targeting contraband devices used by inmates. It directly affects prisons and jails by enabling them to disrupt unauthorized wireless communications without FCC approval, provided the jamming is limited to housing areas within the facility. Key requirements include state facilities covering all costs themselves, consulting with local law enforcement before implementation, and notifying the Bureau of Prisons. The law aims to address security risks from smuggled phones while restricting jamming to only necessary areas and requiring transparency.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the U.S. Code to define key terms like "sex," "male," and "female" based on biological characteristics present at conception, specifically referencing reproductive anatomy. It requires all federal agencies, courts, and Congress to use these biological definitions when interpreting laws, regulations, or agency actions - replacing current interpretations that consider gender identity. The bill explicitly states that "gender identity" does not constitute a valid basis for determining sex under federal law. This change would directly affect how federal agencies implement existing laws related to healthcare, education, employment, and civil rights by mandating biological sex definitions in their operations.

Maddy summaryThis bill imposes U.S. economic sanctions and visa restrictions on the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) and related entities, targeting individuals and groups linked to the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel. It requires the President to block assets and deny visas to PRC members, affiliates, and any group operating under their umbrella, effective 90 days after enactment. The law also mandates a report within 90 days on whether "Lion’s Den" meets criteria for terrorism designation under existing U.S. law. These measures apply specifically to designated terrorist organizations and their networks, without altering broader U.S. counterterrorism policy.
