Maddy summaryThe Pray Safe Act of 2025 establishes a federal Clearinghouse within the Department of Homeland Security to provide houses of worship, faith-based organizations, and nonprofit groups at risk of threats with evidence-based safety resources. The Clearinghouse will publish online best practices for security planning, facility safety, and incident response, while listing existing federal and state grant programs to help these organizations implement these measures. It requires annual updates based on user feedback and includes a centralized resource section for contacts like Protective Security Advisors and Fusion Centers. The program expires four years after enactment and does not create new funding but coordinates existing federal and state safety resources.

Maddy summaryThe FABRIC Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to prohibit piece-rate pay for garment industry workers, requiring employers to pay them at least the federal minimum wage on an hourly basis while still allowing for incentive bonuses. The bill establishes joint and several liability for brand guarantors, meaning companies that contract for garment manufacturing can be held financially responsible for wage violations committed by their contractors or subcontractors. To improve oversight, the legislation mandates that all garment manufacturers and contractors register annually with the Department of Labor, providing detailed information about ownership, employees, and past legal violations. Additionally, the bill creates a new Office of the Garment Industry within the Department of Labor and authorizes $100 million in competitive grants to support domestic manufacturing, workforce development, and facility improvements.

It also repeals outdated laws and establishes transitional rules to ensure existing regulations and legal actions remain valid under the new structure.
