Rep. Jared Huffman

Maddy summaryThis bill temporarily suspends a portion of the federal fuel excise tax when the national average price of gasoline rises above $3.99 per gallon. Instead of reducing government revenue, the money saved from this tax cut is transferred back into the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund. Additionally, the legislation disallows certain tax credits and deductions for oil and gas companies for costs incurred or production occurring during these high-price months. These changes would only take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis bill, titled the Protecting Human Rights and Public Health in Foreign Assistance Act, aims to cancel specific regulations issued by the Department of State. It directly affects the federal government by prohibiting any department or agency from enforcing, implementing, or proposing rules related to protecting life, combating discriminatory equity ideology, and combating gender ideology in foreign aid programs. The legislation treats these cancelled rules as if they never existed, effectively nullifying their impact on future foreign assistance policies.

Maddy summaryThe Public Lands Workforce Stability Act prevents the Department of the Interior and the United States Forest Service from firing employees or cutting jobs between now and September 30, 2030, unless specific conditions are met. Under this law, agencies cannot reduce staff numbers or separate employees for reasons like poor performance or misconduct without first getting approval from the chairs and ranking members of both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. This restriction applies to all federal funds used for these actions and aims to maintain workforce stability within these agencies for the next several years.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires federal agencies managing public lands to allocate at least 5 percent of their annual transportation funding toward active transportation projects. These projects include building trails for pedestrians and bicyclists, improving safety infrastructure for non-drivers, and converting abandoned railroad corridors into recreational paths.

By mandating this funding set-aside, the bill ensures consistent investment in non-motorized transportation infrastructure across federal lands.

It invokes a provision of the War Powers Resolution, asserting Congress's authority to require the termination of military engagement without a declaration of war or specific authorization.
