Maddy summaryThe End Trump's Tariff Tax Act terminates specific import duties imposed under recent trade investigations and repeals two statutory authorities used to impose tariffs for forced labor violations, balance-of-payments issues, and foreign discrimination. The bill requires the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner to automatically refund all duties collected during specified periods in 2026, along with interest, without requiring importers to submit formal requests or documentation. Importers who paid these tariffs will receive their money back, with small businesses prioritized for payment where practicable.

Maddy summaryThe DCA Air Safety Act mandates that the Federal Aviation Administration reduce the hourly arrival rate at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to a maximum of 28 aircraft within 90 days and convert this limit into binding 30-minute interval caps to prevent traffic clustering. The bill also requires the permanent elimination of 30 existing slot exemptions over a five-year phase-in period from 2028 to 2032, with at least 26 of these being beyond-perimeter slots that allow flights to destinations outside the local area. To oversee these changes, the legislation establishes a permanent commission comprising federal officials and regional leaders from Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C., which will conduct ongoing safety studies and report recommendations to Congress every two years.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 12109 New Kent Highway in New Kent, Virginia, as the "Patricia Paige Post Office".

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish an independent expert panel within 60 days to review the agency’s Safety Management System (SMS) implementation. The panel will assess how well the FAA complies with its own safety policies, evaluates safety culture, and integrates SMS across all departments (like Air Traffic Organization and Aviation Safety Office), with a focus on four core components: safety policy, risk management, assurance, and promotion. The panel must submit findings and recommendations within 180 days, and the FAA must publish the report publicly, including any dissenting views from panel members. This is a procedural review of the FAA’s existing SMS, not a new safety rule, directly affecting the FAA and aviation stakeholders represented on the panel (e.g., airline pilots, controllers, and industry safety managers).

Maddy summaryThis bill designates the U.S. Postal Service facility at 46164 Westlake Drive in Sterling, Virginia, as the "Firefighter Trevor Brown Post Office Building" to honor a firefighter. It updates all official federal references (laws, maps, documents) to use the new name. The bill has no funding, regulatory, or policy changes - it is purely a commemorative naming designation.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates the United States Postal Service facility at 10660 Page Avenue in Fairfax, Virginia, as the "Congressman Gerald E. Connolly Post Office Building." It updates all official federal references - such as laws, maps, and documents - to use this new name for the location. The bill does not create new policies or affect any services; it solely changes the facility's official designation. This is a standard naming procedure for post offices, honoring Congressman Gerald E. Connolly.

National Plan for Epilepsy Act This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a national plan, form an advisory council, and take other actions to address epilepsy. The requirements sunset on December 31, 2035. Specifically, the bill requires HHS to carry out a National Plan for Epilepsy to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure epilepsy. In carrying out the plan, HHS must implement activities such as coordinating research and services across all federal agencies and soliciting public comments. Also, HHS must establish an Advisory Council on Epilepsy Research, Care, and Services. The advisory council must report to HHS and Congress every two years with an evaluation of federally funded efforts. Additionally, HHS must annually report to Congress with recommended actions based on its assessments of the nation’s progress on epilepsy.

Maddy summaryThe China AI Power Report Act requires the Secretaries of Commerce and State to submit an annual report to Congress for three years detailing the advanced artificial intelligence capabilities of the People's Republic of China. The legislation mandates a comprehensive assessment of specific sectors, including AI chip designers, semiconductor fabrication facilities, manufacturing equipment producers, and software developers, with a focus on technical specifications and production volumes. It also requires evaluations of Chinese AI models, research funding, humanoid robot manufacturers, and the effectiveness of current U.S. export controls in restricting technology transfer. The report must be submitted in unclassified form with a potential classified annex, and it must compare China's capabilities against those of the United States and partner nations to provide context for national security planning.

Maddy summaryThe ADVERSARIES Act requires the Under Secretary of the Bureau of Industry and Security to conduct a review within 90 days of enactment regarding how U.S.-based affiliates of foreign entities on the Entity List or Military End User List might be acquiring controlled items that their parent companies are restricted from accessing. The review must also assess national security risks posed by foreign adversary exploitation of vulnerabilities in information and communications technology, including whether specific sectors pose undue risk to export control effectiveness. Following the review, officials must submit a report to relevant congressional committees detailing their findings, any planned actions to address identified threats within the next year, and recommendations for changes to U.S. law.

This bill extends from 5 to 10 years the statute of limitations for civil and criminal violations of U.S. export control laws. The bill also specifies that the commencement of an action, suit, or proceeding includes the issuance of a charging letter. (A charging letter is a formal notification by the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security that a company or individual is under investigation for an apparent violation of export administration laws or regulations.)
