Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or the SAVE Act This bill requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Specifically, the bill prohibits states from accepting and processing an application to register to vote in a federal election unless the applicant presents documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. The bill specifies what documents are considered acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship, such as identification that complies with the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates U.S. citizenship. Further, the bill (1) prohibits states from registering an individual to vote in a federal election unless, at the time the individual applies to register to vote, the individual provides documentary proof of U.S. citizenship; and (2) requires states to establish an alternative process under which an applicant may submit other evidence to demonstrate U.S. citizenship. Each state must take affirmative steps on an ongoing basis to ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote, which shall include establishing a program to identify individuals who are not U.S. citizens using information supplied by certain sources. Additionally, states must remove noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters. The bill allows for a private right of action against an election official who registers an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. The bill establishes criminal penalties for certain offenses, including registering an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.

Maddy summaryThe Wildland Firefighter Paycheck Protection Act of 2025 establishes special pay rates for wildland firefighters employed by the Forest Service and Department of the Interior. It replaces standard General Schedule base pay with increased rates (ranging from 1.5% to 42% higher depending on position grade) and creates 450% daily premium pay for employees deployed during qualifying wildfire incidents. The bill also creates mandatory rest and recuperation leave requirements, including minimum rest periods after incident deployment and limits on work hours during firefighting operations. These provisions apply to employees whose duties primarily relate to wildland fires, as defined in the bill.
Maddy summaryThis bill repeals Section 136 of the Clean Air Act, which established an incentive program for reducing methane emissions and waste in natural gas and petroleum systems. It directly affects natural gas and petroleum companies that previously participated in this program by eliminating their eligibility for related incentives. The bill also rescinds any unobligated funds allocated under that program before its repeal. This is a direct policy change removing a specific federal incentive mechanism, not a tax change.
Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes Congress to award a single Congressional Gold Medal to wildland firefighters collectively, recognizing their service in protecting forests, grasslands, and communities. It directs the Secretary of the Treasury to strike the medal with input from the National Interagency Fire Center, with the medal to be displayed at that center for public access and research. The bill also permits the sale of bronze duplicates at cost to cover production expenses, but does not create new benefits or policy changes for firefighters. The medal honors all federal, state, local, and contract wildland firefighters who serve in high-risk conditions, including those who have died or been injured in service.
Maddy summaryThe FAIR PREP Act of 2025 prohibits the IRS Secretary from preparing individual tax returns or refund claims directly, except through existing programs like the IRS Free File Partnership. It specifically exempts returns prepared via the IRS Free File Program (established in 2002) and qualified return preparation programs defined under existing law. The bill defines "tax return preparation" to exclude basic error corrections, fillable forms with automated calculations, and IRS-provided tools like the direct e-file system. This change applies to returns filed 30 days after the bill’s enactment, with no impact on the IRS’s authority to offer electronic filing options for tax years ending before enactment.
Maddy summaryThis bill (S 100) repeals the Corporate Transparency Act, which required businesses to disclose beneficial ownership information to the government. It directly affects businesses (especially small entities) that previously had to report who ultimately owns or controls them. The bill removes specific reporting requirements from Title 31 of the U.S. Code and eliminates related provisions in the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020. Key mechanisms include striking references to reporting sections (like 5336) and repealing sections of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act that established the rules. This would end the federal mandate for businesses to disclose ownership details to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
Maddy summaryS 94, the "Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act," authorizes three congressional gold medals for the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team members. The bill directs the Secretary of the Treasury to strike the medals, with one medal displayed at each of three locations: the Lake Placid Olympic Center, the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Museum in Minnesota, and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs. The legislation also permits the sale of bronze duplicates to cover costs, with proceeds going to the U.S. Mint. This is a commemorative measure recognizing the team's 1980 Olympic victory, not a policy change affecting current legislation or constituents.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires Congress to pass the annual budget resolution and all funding bills by October 1 each year. If Congress misses this deadline, members of Congress (excluding the Vice President) would not receive salary for the period of non-compliance, and this pay would not be retroactively issued. The Budget Chairs of each chamber would determine compliance and certify pay withholding. The law takes effect on September 29, 2027.
Maddy summaryThe Defending American Sovereignty in Global Pandemics Act requires Senate approval before the U.S. can join any international pandemic agreement under the World Health Organization (WHO). It would suspend all U.S. funding to the WHO until the Senate ratifies such an agreement. This policy directly affects U.S. financial support to the WHO and the process for international health cooperation. The funding freeze would begin immediately and continue until the Senate approves the specific treaty.
Maddy summarySRES 21 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating October 10, 2025, as "American Girls in Sports Day." It recognizes the positive impact of sports on young girls and celebrates women's athletic achievements in U.S. history. The resolution specifically calls for protecting "biological women and girls" in sports and references Title IX, while noting concerns about biological males competing in women's sports. This resolution does not create new laws or policies but serves as a symbolic recognition and call to action for sports organizations.
