Maddy summaryThe Justice for Veterans and Victims of Terrorism Act of 2026 directs the Comptroller General to conduct a study and report to Congress by December 31, 2028. The study must assess how many additional individuals would qualify for compensation if the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act were expanded to cover victims of attempted extrajudicial killings, assaults, and psychiatric injuries. It also requires an estimate of the funding needed for these potential payments and recommendations for legislative amendments. Additionally, the report must provide a detailed accounting of all funds forfeited or paid to the United States since 2015 from violations of specific economic sanctions laws and terrorism-related offenses, including interest earned on those penalties.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 189 East Main Street in Xenia, Ohio, as the "Gilman 'Gil' Whitney Post Office Building".

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Bankruptcy Threshold Adjustment Act of 2026, raises the maximum debt amounts individuals and small businesses can owe while still being eligible to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. For small businesses, it increases the debt limit from $2,750,000 to $7,500,000, while for individual consumers, it raises the limit from $483,000 to $2,750,000. The changes apply to cases filed on or after the bill becomes law and affect people who meet the income requirements for Chapter 13 repayment plans. The bill excludes large corporations and certain affiliated business groups from the new higher limits.

Maddy summaryThe American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026 directs the U.S. Treasury to create two new accounts: a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for Bitcoin acquired through government forfeiture and a Digital Asset Stockpile for other digital assets. The bill mandates that all Bitcoin held in the reserve be kept for at least 20 years, with strict rules against selling or disposing of these assets during that time. It also establishes a transparency system requiring quarterly public reports and third-party audits to verify the government's holdings and management of these digital assets.

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 CHC REBASE Act of 2026 amends the Medicare program to adjust payment rates for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) so that they cover 100 percent of estimated reasonable costs by 2028, effectively removing previous financial caps on these services. To support this change, the bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to convene a working group with stakeholders from health centers, physicians, and CMS to review payment methodologies and recommend further modifications. Additionally, the legislation ensures that telehealth services provided by FQHCs and rural health clinics are paid at standard rates starting in 2027, treating associated costs as allowable expenses. The bill also mandates new guidance for Medicare Advantage plans to streamline "wraparound" payments to FQHCs and requires a Government Accountability Office report on how well these centers are included in insurance provider networks for underserved populations.

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 summaryThis resolution supports the designation of the week from September 13 through September 19, 2026, as National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as Kayleigh's Law Act of 2026, requires federal courts to issue permanent restraining orders against defendants convicted of certain serious crimes, prohibiting them from contacting their victims for the rest of their lives. The law applies specifically to individuals convicted of violent felonies or felony offenses involving sexual acts, including crimes like child exploitation and human trafficking. Courts must include these orders in sentencing, and violations are treated as contempt of court, while the only way to lift the order is if the conviction is overturned or pardoned. The bill also ensures that victims cannot be charged any fees for obtaining these protective orders and clarifies that the restrictions apply regardless of state laws.
