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.

The proposal directly affects all voters by establishing citizenship as the sole qualifying requirement for participating in these specific national contests. To implement this change, state legislatures would be tasked with prescribing enforcement legislation, while Congress would retain the authority to create or modify regulations and enforce the amendment within the District of Columbia.

Maddy summaryThis bill, the GOOD Act (Guidance Out Of Darkness Act), requires federal agencies to publish all their non-binding guidance documents - such as memos, bulletins, letters, and blog posts - on a single, publicly accessible government website. It applies to all federal agencies and mandates that existing guidance be posted within 180 days of the law's enactment, with new guidance published immediately upon issuance. Agencies must also maintain rescinded guidance documents online with clear labels indicating they are no longer in effect. The law does not apply to documents already exempt from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Maddy summaryThis bill allows Congress to disapprove multiple federal regulations issued near the end of a presidential term in a single resolution, rather than requiring separate resolutions for each rule. It specifically applies to regulations submitted during the final year of a president's term, streamlining the congressional review process under existing rules. This change directly affects federal agencies that issue such "midnight rules" and Congress when considering disapproval resolutions. The key mechanism enables a single joint resolution to list and invalidate multiple rules at once, as specified in the bill's provisions.
Maddy summaryThis bill allows Congress to reject a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency that concerns vehicle pollution standards in California. The measure would effectively cancel the EPA's decision to reinstate a waiver that previously let California set its own stricter air quality rules for cars. If passed, the rule would have no legal force, meaning California would lose the ability to enforce its Advanced Clean Car Program under the current framework. The legislation directly impacts the relationship between federal environmental regulations and state-level automotive policies.
Maddy summaryThis joint resolution seeks to overturn a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency that allowed California to set its own stricter vehicle emission standards. By using a congressional disapproval mechanism, the bill aims to nullify this waiver, which would otherwise let California enforce unique pollution control requirements for cars and trucks. If passed, the measure would require all states to follow the federal government's uniform vehicle emission rules instead of California's separate standards. The legislation directly impacts automakers, state regulators, and consumers by ensuring a single set of national rules applies to motor vehicle pollution.

By disapproving this waiver, the bill aims to restore federal preemption, ensuring that all states must follow the same national emission rules rather than California's unique requirements. If passed, the measure would effectively cancel the EPA's decision, forcing automakers to comply with uniform federal standards for vehicle pollution control.
