Maddy summaryHR 703, the Main Street Tax Certainty Act, makes a key tax deduction permanent for small business owners. It removes the temporary sunset provision (subsection (i)) from Section 199A of the tax code, ensuring the qualified business income deduction remains available for eligible small businesses. This change directly affects pass-through business owners (like S-corps, partnerships, and sole proprietorships) who currently qualify for this deduction. The permanent change takes effect for tax years starting after December 31, 2025.

Maddy summaryHR 696, the "End Unaccountable Amnesty Act," restricts immigration benefits by making Temporary Protected Status (TPS) more difficult to obtain. The bill requires new legislation for each country's TPS designation, mandates specific findings about armed conflict or disasters, and limits TPS to 12-month periods with possible 12-month extensions. It also limits immigration parole to 1,000 people annually for specific urgent humanitarian reasons or public benefits, and repeals "cancellation of removal" provisions that allowed some individuals to adjust their immigration status. These changes primarily affect immigrants seeking temporary protections or parole in the United States.

Maddy summaryHR 600, the "WHO is Accountable Act," prohibits U.S. federal funds from supporting the World Health Organization (WHO) until the organization meets eight specific conditions. These include ending perceived Chinese Communist Party influence, ending alleged pandemic cover-ups, granting Taiwan observer status, and halting WHO activities on gender identity, climate change, and abortion access. The bill blocks all U.S. contributions and membership efforts until the State Department certifies WHO compliance. It directly affects U.S. agencies managing international health funding and WHO's operational policies.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits federal funding from being provided to Planned Parenthood Federation of America or its related clinics. It redirects funds previously allocated to Planned Parenthood to other eligible providers like community health centers, hospitals, and clinics that offer women's health services. These services include contraception, cancer screenings, prenatal care, STI testing, and family planning - particularly in underserved areas. The bill explicitly states it does not reduce overall federal funding for women's health care or affect existing abortion-related funding restrictions.

Maddy summaryThe RIFLE Act of 2025 amends federal firearm licensing laws to create a more structured process for addressing violations by licensed firearm businesses. It establishes graduated penalties for violations, with non-willful violations requiring notification and a reasonable timeframe to correct, while willful violations could lead to license suspension (up to 30 days for first-time offenders) or revocation. The bill adds procedural protections including written notice requirements, administrative hearings with due process, and a 90-day period to liquidate inventory after license expiration or revocation. It also requires the Attorney General to reconsider denied applications from former licensees and reverse certain past license revocations made under specific ATF orders. The bill aims to balance enforcement with due process for firearm licensees while maintaining public safety standards.

Maddy summaryHR 632 prohibits federal funding (directly or indirectly) for colleges and universities that host or are affiliated with campus health clinics providing abortion drugs or abortions to students or employees. Institutions must annually certify to federal education and health agencies that no such services are offered at their campus sites. The bill defines "abortion drugs" broadly as any medication intended to terminate pregnancy (excluding cases for live birth, miscarriage management, or ectopic pregnancy treatment). This policy directly affects institutions receiving federal funds, requiring them to ensure campus health services comply with the prohibition to maintain eligibility.

Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025 This bill limits birthright citizenship by redefining what it means to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Currently, a person born in the United States and subject to U.S. jurisdiction is entitled to citizenship. Under the bill, a person is subject to U.S. jurisdiction if he or she is born to a parent who is (1) a U.S. citizen or national, (2) a lawful permanent resident residing in the United States, or (3) a non-U.S. national ( alien under federal law) with a lawful immigration status who is performing active service in the Armed Forces. The bill does not affect the citizenship or nationality status of any person born before the bill's enactment date.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends U.S. immigration law to deny entry to noncitizens convicted of or admitting to certain violent crimes, and to make them deportable. It directly affects noncitizens who have been convicted of or admitted to sex offenses, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse/neglect, or violating protection orders involving threats of violence. Key provisions add these offenses as grounds for denying entry (inadmissibility) under Section 212(a)(2) and as grounds for deportation (deportability) under Section 237(a)(2). The law specifies that domestic violence and protection order violations are included regardless of whether the jurisdiction received specific federal grant funding.

Maddy summaryHRES 50 is a symbolic resolution, not a bill with policy changes. It declares that states bordering Mexico have the constitutional right under Article I, Section 10 to defend against "paramilitary, narco-terrorist cartels" and criminal actors at the southern border. The resolution states that states like Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California were "invaded" or faced "imminent danger" from these groups from 2021-2024, and that the federal government failed to protect them. It makes no new laws or allocate funds - only asserts a constitutional interpretation for states to act unilaterally. (Note: This is a procedural resolution; no concrete policy change is enacted.)

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a new tax deduction for cash tips received by workers in specific service occupations that traditionally accepted tips before 2024 (like servers, barbers, and beauticians). It allows a deduction of up to $25,000 per year for qualified tips included on employer statements, but excludes employees who earned over a certain threshold ($220,000 in 2023) from the same employer the previous year. The deduction applies to taxable years beginning after December 2024 and is designed to reduce taxable income for eligible workers. It directly affects service industry workers in qualifying tip-dependent jobs who receive cash tips, not the general public.
