Sen. Markwayne Mullin

Maddy summaryThis resolution commemorates the one-year anniversary of the July 13, 2024, attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. It condemns the attack and other threats against political officials, honors victims Corey D. Comperatore (who died shielding his family), David Dutch, and James Copenhaver (who were injured), and expresses gratitude to first responders. The resolution also condemns incitement of violence against elected officials and calls for unity against political violence. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or policies but formally states the Senate’s position.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the Bank Holding Company Act to require a minimum 15-year holding period for merchant banking investments. Banks would need to hold these investments - where they make equity stakes in non-financial companies - for at least 15 years before selling, applying to both new investments and existing ones held on the bill's enactment date. The change directly affects banks engaged in merchant banking activities by altering the regulatory timeframe for holding such investments. It modifies specific provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act without creating new programs or altering eligibility.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits noncitizens from voting in all District of Columbia elections, including local elections for public office and ballot initiatives. It directly affects noncitizen residents of Washington D.C. who previously could vote under the repealed 2022 law. The bill repeals the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, restoring the prior rule that limited voting in D.C. elections to U.S. citizens. This change would require noncitizen D.C. residents to obtain citizenship to vote in local elections.

Maddy summaryS 2624, "Kamisha's Law," removes all time limits for prosecuting certain non-capital homicide offenses in federal court. It directly affects prosecutors and defendants in cases involving second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, or attempted manslaughter under specified sections of Title 18 (e.g., sections 1111, 1112, 1114, and others listed). The bill amends federal law to allow indictments or information to be filed "at any time without limitation" for these offenses, eliminating the usual statute of limitations. This change applies only to federal prosecutions for the listed homicide crimes, not to state cases or capital offenses.

Maddy summarySRES 345 is a ceremonial Senate resolution congratulating the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team on winning the 2025 NBA Finals. It directly affects the Thunder organization by formally recognizing their championship victory, which marked their first NBA title since relocating to Oklahoma City in 2008. The resolution highlights the team's season record (68-14), their Game 7 victory over the Indiana Pacers, and their significance to Oklahoma City, including a parade at the Oklahoma City National Memorial. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal effect or policy changes - it solely serves as a symbolic gesture of recognition.

Maddy summarySRES 335 is a Senate resolution calling on federal and state courts to unseal all court records related to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal case, including grand jury materials. It specifically requests that courts open these materials - subject only to redactions protecting victims and ongoing prosecutions - to increase public transparency. The resolution targets courts handling Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution agreement, his 2019 arrest for sex trafficking, and the 2022 conviction of his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. It does not create new law but urges existing courts to make sealed case documents publicly accessible.

Maddy summaryThis bill expands Medicare Part B coverage to include specific pharmacist services, directly affecting Medicare beneficiaries and pharmacists who provide these services. It defines "pharmacist services" as evaluations and treatments for illnesses like COVID-19, flu, RSV, or strep throat, or services addressing public health emergencies, requiring collaboration with physicians as state law permits. Medicare would pay 80% of the lower of the actual charge or 85% of the physician payment rate (100% for public health emergencies), and prohibits balance billing for these services. The changes take effect January 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows tribal law enforcement officers who contract with federal programs to enforce federal law within tribal lands after meeting specific training and certification standards set by the Bureau of Justice Services. It deems these officers as federal law enforcement officers for key legal protections under Titles 18, 5, and 28 of U.S. Code, including liability coverage and retirement benefits. Officers must complete training comparable to federal counterparts, pass background checks, and receive Bureau certification. The Department of Justice must establish certification procedures within two years and coordinate public safety oversight in tribal communities through the Attorney General’s office.

Maddy summaryThis bill protects U.S. businesses and citizens whose property (specifically ports, harbors, or marine terminals) in Western Hemisphere countries with U.S. free trade agreements has been taken without compensation by foreign governments. It requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to identify and publicly list these "prohibited properties" within 60 days of the bill's enactment. The law then prohibits vessels using these listed ports from importing goods into the U.S., docking passenger vessels, or conducting maintenance in U.S. ports. It directly affects U.S. property owners in those countries and foreign governments that have seized such assets.

Maddy summarySRES 322 designates June 2025 as "National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month" and June 27, 2025, as "National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Day" to raise public awareness about post-traumatic stress, particularly among veterans and military personnel. The resolution supports efforts by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense to educate about symptoms, treatment, and stigma reduction, while encouraging cultural change and appropriate care. This symbolic gesture has no legal effect or funding implications but aims to reduce stigma and promote mental health support for those affected.
