Rep. Jason Crow

Maddy summaryThis bill requires all new passenger vehicles manufactured for sale in the U.S. to include AM radio as standard equipment (not an optional add-on) by 2027-2028, depending on manufacturer size. It mandates that AM radio receivers must be easily accessible to drivers and allows compliance through digital AM broadcast technology. During a transition period, manufacturers must clearly label vehicles without AM radio but cannot charge extra for this feature. The bill also mandates a GAO study on AM radio's role in emergency alerts and includes a 10-year sunset provision for the rule. It preempts state laws regarding AM radio access in vehicles.

Maddy summaryThe Safeguarding Taxpayer Investment for Executive Airlift Act of 2026 prohibits the Department of Defense from using fiscal year 2027 funds to sell, donate, or transfer ownership of any aircraft from the VC-25B Bridge program. This restriction prevents these specific planes from being moved to individuals or entities outside the Department of the Air Force. The bill directly affects federal budgeting processes by limiting how appropriated defense money can be spent on executive airlift assets during that fiscal year.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies tax rules to provide relief for individuals affected by major disasters. It allows taxpayers to deduct disaster-related losses (like damaged homes or personal property) more easily by creating a new "disaster loss deduction" that combines certain casualty losses and adjusts for income limits. It also excludes wildfire relief payments (such as compensation for lost wages or home damage not covered by insurance) from taxable income for people in federally declared wildfire areas, effective 2026 through 2030. These changes apply to losses incurred in taxable years starting after 2024, specifically for disasters declared between 2025 and 2027.

Maddy summaryThis House resolution commemorates the one-year anniversary of a shooting at Evergreen High School in Colorado that occurred on September 10, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis House resolution marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks by formally honoring the memory of the nearly 3,000 victims and recognizing the sacrifices made by first responders, military personnel, and the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93. The bill acknowledges the ongoing health challenges faced by survivors and responders, highlighting the role of the World Trade Center Health Program in providing long-term medical support. It also credits charitable organizations and community groups that have continued to assist victims' families and veterans over the past two decades. Finally, the resolution urges the American public to observe the anniversary with ceremonies and reaffirms Congress's commitment to remembering the events and lessons of that day.

Maddy summaryThis resolution directs the Speaker of the House to file a lawsuit on behalf of Congress against the President and other executive officials who have failed to follow constitutional duties regarding military actions in Iran. The bill specifically targets the continuation of hostilities that exceed the time limits set by the War Powers Resolution and ignores a prior congressional order to withdraw troops. If passed, the House of Representatives would intervene in federal court to seek legal relief, with the Office of the General Counsel representing the institution in these civil actions.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates Afghanistan for Temporary Protected Status, allowing nationals who have lived continuously in the United States since the law's enactment to apply for a legal stay until July 1, 2029. To qualify, applicants must pass background checks and submit biometric data, while the Department of Homeland Security is required to process these applications within 90 days unless national security concerns justify a brief extension. The legislation also permits eligible individuals to request fee waivers for their applications and allows for special travel consent in emergency situations that require a short trip abroad.

Maddy summaryThis bill reauthorizes and expands the Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for ALS Act through 2031, extending funding for research into treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It requires drug manufacturers to share interim clinical trial data with the FDA to better assess the progress of investigational drugs and clarifies that phase 3 clinical trial definitions include combined phase 2/3 trials and planned trials not yet enrolling participants. The legislation also mandates the FDA to publish an updated five-year action plan for ALS and other rare neurodegenerative diseases, including resource needs and coordination strategies with broader disease communities. Additionally, the bill requires the Government Accountability Office to submit a report on the program's implementation four years after enactment.

Maddy summaryThis resolution honors the memory of four wildland firefighters - Emily Barker, Nick Hutcherson, Sydney Watson, and Nicholas Dale - who died while battling wildfires in 2026. It expresses sympathy to their families and acknowledges the bravery of injured colleagues and all personnel who risk their lives to protect communities and natural resources. The measure formally recognizes the critical role of firefighters, aviation crews, and support staff in suppressing dangerous fires across the United States.

Maddy summaryThis bill expands federal election laws to prevent foreign nationals from influencing U.S. elections by tightening restrictions on domestic companies with significant foreign ownership or control. It requires businesses that are at least 50% owned by foreign individuals, or those with specific foreign influence, to file a sworn certification proving they are not foreign-controlled before making any political donations or spending money on election activities. Additionally, the law clarifies that these rules apply to state and local ballot initiatives and mandates that corporate political action funds certify their managers and board members are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The legislation also prohibits recipients of funds from these businesses from using the money for further political contributions unless they receive and verify the required compliance certification.
