Maddy summaryThis joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in Iran that occurred without a formal declaration of war or specific statutory authorization. The bill is based on Congress's constitutional authority to declare war and cites statements from current administration officials who have referred to the conflict as a war. While ordering troop withdrawal, the resolution allows the U.S. to continue defending against attacks, sharing intelligence, assisting allies, and evacuating American citizens. The measure applies expedited legislative procedures and does not prevent future military action if Congress provides explicit authorization.
Maddy summaryThis joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran that lack explicit congressional authorization. The bill asserts that Congress has not declared war on Iran or passed a specific authorization for military force, yet U.S. forces have conducted sustained offensive operations against Iranian military targets. While mandating the withdrawal of offensive forces, the measure allows the U.S. to continue defensive actions against attacks on American personnel, conduct intelligence gathering, and assist partner nations in intercepting retaliatory attacks. The legislation invokes expedited congressional procedures to ensure prompt consideration of the resolution.
Maddy summaryThis bill extends federal funding for sport fish restoration and recreational boating safety through 2031, directly benefiting anglers, boaters, and conservation organizations. It updates the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act by changing the funding period from 2026 to 2031 and modifies how multistate conservation grants are distributed. The key provision ensures each state receives the greater of 0.0375 percent of total appropriations or $200,000 for conservation projects, replacing the previous $1.2 million cap. These changes aim to provide more predictable and flexible funding for fisheries management and water safety initiatives across the United States.
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a funding mechanism to support youth vaping prevention efforts by increasing tobacco industry user fees and expanding how those fees are collected and allocated. It requires tobacco manufacturers and importers to submit detailed sales data to the FDA, which will use this information to calculate fees based on market share and distribute funds for public education campaigns targeting teens and minors. The legislation also mandates annual reporting to Congress on how user fees are spent between different types of tobacco products and requires the FDA to explain how it ensures sufficient funding for youth vaping prevention education.
Maddy summaryThis concurrent resolution formally recognizes Congress's duty to protect the rights and economic security of working women in the United States. It highlights concerns about wage gaps, workplace discrimination, and recent policy changes that the bill's sponsors claim have disproportionately harmed women in the workforce. The document calls for federal action to ensure equal pay, workplace safety, access to healthcare, and the right to unionize, while affirming the importance of women's contributions to the economy. As a non-binding statement of principle, it does not create new laws but serves to express congressional intent and guide future legislative priorities.
Maddy summaryThe Perinatal Workforce Act directs the Health and Human Services Secretary to issue guidance encouraging hospitals and insurers to recruit and retain diverse maternity care providers, incorporate midwives and other specialists into care teams, and provide culturally congruent care. It also authorizes grants to establish or expand training programs for physician assistants, perinatal health workers, and midwives, with priority given to institutions that recruit from minority and underserved communities and include implicit bias training in their curricula. A separate grant program provides scholarships to nursing students focused on maternal and perinatal health, prioritizing schools that serve diverse populations and address health disparities in shortage areas. The bill requires the Secretary and the Government Accountability Office to conduct studies and reports on barriers to maternal health education, access to care, and disparities in outcomes, with $15 million authorized annually for each program from 2027 through 2031.
Maddy summarySJRES 103 is a congressional disapproval resolution targeting a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) rule on reproductive health services for veterans. The resolution, if passed, would block the VA rule from taking effect by invoking the Congressional Review Act (Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code), meaning the rule published in the Federal Register (December 31, 2025) would have no legal force. This directly affects the VA’s ability to implement new guidelines for reproductive health services at its facilities, preserving existing policies instead. The resolution does not create new policy but halts a specific administrative rule.
Maddy summarySJRES 116 requires the President to remove U.S. military forces from hostilities against Iran that lack a congressional declaration of war or specific statutory authorization. It specifically cites the Trump administration's Operation Epic Fury as an example of unapproved military action, referencing statements from officials calling it a "war." The resolution allows for continued defense of U.S. personnel, intelligence sharing, and support for allies attacked by Iran, but mandates withdrawal of forces engaged in unapproved hostilities. This policy change enforces the constitutional principle that Congress, not the executive, must authorize military conflict.
Maddy summaryThis resolution designates March 21, 2026, as "National Women in Agriculture Day" to recognize the contributions of women in the agricultural sector. The bill directly affects women working in farming, research, education, and related industries by formally acknowledging their roles as producers, leaders, and mentors. It highlights that women represent over one-third of U.S. agricultural producers and generated $222 billion in agricultural sales in 2022. The designation encourages citizens to celebrate and support women in agriculture during National Ag Week, which coincides with the date. This is a commemorative measure rather than a policy change that alters laws or programs.
