Maddy summaryThe Bereaved Parents Rights Act requires hospitals and birth centers to notify parents of miscarriages or stillbirths about their options for burial, cremation, or hospital disposal. This notification must occur within six hours of the event or the parent's discharge, using a standardized form provided by the government. If parents choose burial or cremation within 72 hours, the facility must follow the same state laws that apply to other fetal deaths. The bill also allows parents to sue in federal court if these notification requirements are not met.

This resolution expresses support for police officers and other law enforcement personnel. The resolution further recognizes law enforcement officers across the United States in the pursuit of preserving safe and secure communities; the need to ensure that such officers have the equipment, training, and resources necessary to protect their health and safety while they are protecting the public; and the law enforcement community for acts of sacrifice and heroism. The resolution expresses condolences and appreciation to the loved ones of each law enforcement officer who has made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Maddy summaryThis bill would amend federal law to strengthen penalties for organized retail crime by expanding definitions of theft to include digital goods, gift cards, and setting a $5,000 aggregate value threshold for charges over a 12-month period. It would establish a new "Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center" under Homeland Security to coordinate Federal, State, local, and Tribal law enforcement efforts against cross-jurisdictional theft groups. The Center would share information with retailers, transportation companies, and law enforcement agencies, track crime trends, and produce annual reports on organized retail crime. This legislation directly affects retailers, supply chain businesses, and law enforcement agencies, while targeting organized crime groups responsible for a 93% increase in larceny incidents and rising safety concerns for retail employees. The bill aims to address significant financial losses and supply chain disruptions noted in the National Retail Federation's 2023 data.

Save Our Shrimpers Act This bill prohibits federal funds from being made available to international financial institutions (e.g., the International Monetary Fund) for financing activities related to foreign shrimp farms. The bill also requires an annual report on compliance by U.S. leadership of international financial institutions with policies to oppose financing for certain commodities or minerals. Specifically, the bill requires the Department of the Treasury to condition any provision of federal funds to an international financial institution on the requirement that the funds not be used to finance any activity related to shrimp farming, shrimp processing, or the export of shrimp in any foreign country. Under current law, Treasury must instruct U.S. leadership of international financial institutions to oppose providing financial assistance for the production or extraction of any commodity or mineral for export if (1) the commodity or mineral is in surplus on world markets, and (2) the export of such commodity or mineral will cause substantial injury to U.S. producers of a competing commodity or mineral (or of the same or a similar commodity or mineral). This bill requires the Government Accountability Office to investigate and annually report to Congress on the extent to which U.S. leadership at these institutions have carried out Treasury's instructions.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires federal agencies to analyze how new regulations will affect household costs before they are finalized. It mandates that agencies publish an initial impact statement detailing potential cost increases, affected goods, and possible alternatives, along with a final report that addresses public comments. The law prohibits agencies from issuing final rules that raise household costs by $50 or more annually unless the rule is legally required or addresses specific emergencies like national security threats or major disasters. Additionally, the Office of Management and Budget must annually review and report on major rules that have significantly increased living expenses, while courts are given the authority to review agency compliance with these new requirements.

Maddy summaryThis bill, titled the No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act, would allow farmers to sell their land to immediate family members without paying capital gains tax on the profit. To qualify, the property must have been used as a farm for at least two years within the eight years prior to the sale, and the buyer must be a spouse, lineal descendant, or their spouse. If the new owner keeps the farm for ten years, the property's tax basis will be adjusted upward to reflect its fair market value at the time of the sale. The law applies to sales occurring after its enactment and requires the IRS to issue regulations to guide its implementation.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as TREY's Law, aims to make nondisclosure clauses in contracts void and unenforceable if they prevent the reporting of sexual abuse involving minors. It directly affects victims of such abuse, their families, and anyone with knowledge of the abuse by allowing them to disclose these incidents without fear of civil liability. The law applies retroactively to agreements made before or after its passage and overrides any state laws that allow the enforcement of these specific clauses. While it invalidates clauses that silence abuse details, it permits parties to keep confidential other settlement terms like payment amounts, provided this does not stop the disclosure of the abuse itself.

Maddy summaryThis resolution formally condemns the politically motivated shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on April 25, 2026, and denounces political violence in general. It commends law enforcement agencies, particularly the Secret Service, for their rapid response that protected attendees and saved lives, while noting one officer was injured. The document calls on citizens and public figures to reject rhetoric that encourages violence and urges Congress to pass funding for enhanced security measures for national leaders. As a House resolution, it expresses the chamber's official stance on the incident without creating new laws or changing existing policy.

Maddy summaryThe PRIMATE Act prohibits the importation of live nonhuman primates into the United States, with specific exceptions for accredited zoos and aquariums. Under this law, importers must certify that these animals will not be used for experiments, testing, or breeding for such purposes. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will deny entry to shipments containing these animals, and violators face civil penalties of up to $50,000 per violation or forfeiture of the animals. The Department of the Treasury is required to issue detailed regulations to enforce these rules within one year of the bill's enactment.

Maddy summaryThis bill, titled the Territorial Protection and Sovereignty Act, ends the Temporary Protected Status program for individuals currently holding that status in the United States. It requires that any existing status grants terminate immediately upon the law's enactment. Affected individuals must depart the country within 60 days of the bill becoming effective to avoid being classified as unlawfully present. The legislation removes the specific legal protections previously established under Section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
