Maddy summaryThe Curtailing Executive Overcompensation (CEO) Act imposes a new excise tax on large companies where the highest-paid CEO earns significantly more than the median worker. This tax applies to employers with over $100 million in annual revenue and over $10 million in wages, charging a fee equal to the lesser of 1% of the pay gap or 1% of the company's gross receipts. The law defines the pay gap as the difference between the CEO's average compensation and 50 times the median wage of all employees earning at least $5,000, with thresholds adjusted for inflation after 2027. Companies found to be manipulating their workforce to avoid the tax could face joint liability, and the IRS will issue regulations to prevent such avoidance.

Maddy summaryThe Advanced Coursework Equity Act creates a federal grant program to help under-resourced schools increase access to advanced classes like Advanced Placement and gifted programs for students from historically underrepresented groups. To achieve this, the bill requires schools to use objective testing methods, such as universal screening, rather than relying solely on teacher recommendations to determine which students qualify for these courses. Funding is distributed to states, local school districts, and nonprofit organizations to support training for educators, expand course capacity, and provide tutoring, with a specific focus on improving outcomes in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The legislation mandates that recipients set specific enrollment goals for different student subgroups and report their progress to the Department of Education, while also offering bonus payments to those who make the most significant improvements in equity.
