Maddy summaryThe Glaucoma Vision Act of 2026 mandates that private health insurance plans, Medicare, Medicaid, and Federal Employees Health Benefits programs cover annual glaucoma screenings for specific high-risk individuals starting in 2027. These covered individuals include adults aged 40 or older with African, Hispanic/Latino, or Asian ancestry, those with clinical risk factors such as diabetes or family history, and all adults aged 60 or older. The bill also directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to award $10 million in grants over two years to provide free or low-cost screenings and treatment to uninsured high-risk populations, with priority given to underserved communities. Additionally, it authorizes $10 million for research into glaucoma treatments, including optic nerve regeneration and gene therapies.

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 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 summaryThe FABRIC Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to prohibit piece-rate pay for garment industry workers, requiring employers to pay them at least the federal minimum wage on an hourly basis while still allowing for incentive bonuses. The bill establishes joint and several liability for brand guarantors, meaning companies that contract for garment manufacturing can be held financially responsible for wage violations committed by their contractors or subcontractors. To improve oversight, the legislation mandates that all garment manufacturers and contractors register annually with the Department of Labor, providing detailed information about ownership, employees, and past legal violations. Additionally, the bill creates a new Office of the Garment Industry within the Department of Labor and authorizes $100 million in competitive grants to support domestic manufacturing, workforce development, and facility improvements.

Maddy summaryThe NDO Fairness Act modifies federal law to establish a new court order process allowing law enforcement to delay notifying individuals when seeking electronic communications data (like emails or messages) under existing warrants or subpoenas. Courts must issue written findings showing specific, serious risks (such as endangering safety or destroying evidence) and limit delays to 90 days (or up to one year for child exploitation cases), with strict requirements for narrow tailoring. The bill mandates annual reports to Congress tracking usage, including how often delays are granted and whether they affect media or First Amendment activities. After delays expire, individuals can request copies of disclosed information within 180 days, though sensitive materials like child exploitation evidence may be redacted.
