Maddy summaryThe FAIR Fees Act of 2026 requires the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations that prohibit airlines from charging fees that are unreasonable or disproportionate to the actual costs incurred by the carrier. These rules would cover charges for flight changes, cancellations, baggage, seat selection, and priority boarding. The bill mandates that airlines allow parents to sit with children age 13 or younger at no extra cost and requires the Department of Transportation to review and update these fee standards every three years.
Maddy summaryThis House resolution expresses support for designating the week beginning September 14, 2026, as National Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week. It recognizes these colleges and universities, which enroll at least 25 percent Hispanic students, for their role in providing higher education access to low-income and underserved populations. The bill highlights that these institutions serve a significant portion of the nation's undergraduate students and contribute to economic mobility. It calls on the public and interested groups to observe the week with ceremonies and activities during Hispanic Heritage Month.
Maddy summaryThis House resolution formally condemns China's practice of detaining American academics and urges the U.S. government to prioritize securing their release, specifically highlighting the cases of Dr. Youlin Chen and Min Zin. It calls on the Secretary of State to consider raising the travel advisory level for China from Level 2 to Level 3 and to add a specific warning indicator regarding wrongful detention risks. Additionally, the bill requests a review of whether China meets the criteria for designation as a state sponsor of wrongful detention under existing federal law.
Maddy summaryThis bill would require Medicare to cover early detection screening tests for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias starting January 1, 2028. It defines eligible tests as FDA-cleared genomic blood tests, blood product analyses, or equivalent medical imaging methods (like protein expression or whole genome sequencing) that detect pre-symptomatic or early-stage conditions. Medicare beneficiaries would receive this coverage without cost-sharing for these specific screenings. The bill amends Medicare coverage rules to explicitly include these tests under Section 1861(nnn) of the Social Security Act.
