Maddy summaryHRES 110 prohibits the distribution of Chinese Communist Party-controlled publications, such as *China Daily*, within House facilities like the Capitol building and House office buildings. It requires the Chief Administrative Officer to immediately stop accepting, distributing, or using internal mail systems for these materials, which are defined as publications registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act and controlled by the CCP. The resolution does not restrict private receipt of such publications by Members or staff, access through public libraries, or the Library of Congress’s collection. This policy change applies immediately to all House-owned or operated facilities.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits access to single-sex facilities (like restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms) on federal property unless the individual's biological sex matches the facility's designated sex. It directly affects anyone using federal buildings, military bases, or postal facilities, requiring them to use spaces corresponding to their biological sex as defined in the bill. Key provisions define "biological sex" based on reproductive systems (male/female) and allow exceptions only for emergency medical personnel or active law enforcement during investigations. The bill does not apply to private or non-federal spaces, focusing solely on facilities owned or operated by the U.S. government.

Fair Access to Banking Act This bill places restrictions on certain banks, credit unions, and payment card networks if they refuse to do business with a person who complies with the law. Restrictions include prohibiting the use of electronic funds transfer systems and lending programs, termination of an institution's depository insurance, and specified civil penalties. Banks and other specified financial institutions are allowed to deny financial services to a person only if the denial is justified by a documented failure of that person to meet quantitative, impartial, risk-based standards established in advance by the institution. This justification may not be based upon reputational risks to the institution. The bill establishes the right for a person to bring a civil action for a violation of this bill.

Maddy summaryHR 925, the "Dismantle DEI Act of 2025," would eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across federal government operations. The bill requires federal agencies to close DEI offices, rescind related executive orders, and prohibit the use of federal funds for DEI training, offices, or initiatives. It defines "prohibited diversity, equity, or inclusion practice" as any activity that discriminates based on race, ethnicity, religion, biological sex, or national origin, or requires employees to complete training asserting that certain groups are inherently superior or inferior. The legislation also prohibits requiring employees to sign statements about race, ethnicity, or gender, and establishes private lawsuits for violations with potential damages of $1,000 per violation per day. This bill would directly affect federal agencies, contractors, grantees, and advisory committees receiving federal funding.

Maddy summaryHR 691 would rename Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia as "Donald J. Trump International Airport" upon the bill's enactment. It requires all federal references in laws, documents, and maps to use the new name instead of the current designation. This is a purely ceremonial renaming bill with no impact on airport operations, funding, or policy.

Maddy summaryHR 895 requires the Attorney General to investigate whether the 2022 discovery of five baby remains in Washington, DC, violated the existing Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, with a report due within six months. It mandates that healthcare workers must immediately report suspected violations of the ban to law enforcement and requires annual reports from the Attorney General detailing enforcement efforts, violations, and prosecutions over the past decade. The bill also directs the GAO to review enforcement actions from 2004-2024 and submit recommendations. This legislation focuses on strengthening enforcement of the existing 2003 ban, directly affecting healthcare providers, law enforcement, and the Department of Justice.

Maddy summaryHRES 74 is a symbolic House resolution supporting Catholic schools and celebrating the 51st annual National Catholic Schools Week (January 26-February 1, 2025). It recognizes Catholic schools’ contributions, citing their role in educating 1.7 million students, serving diverse communities (including 20.5% racial minorities and 15.5% Hispanic students), and maintaining a 98.9% high school graduation rate. The resolution specifically applauds the National Catholic Educational Association and U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for their work in promoting Catholic education and the 2025 theme, "United in Faith and Community." As a procedural resolution, it has no legal effect but formally acknowledges these schools’ academic and community impact.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from treating pregnancy as an illness when approving or regulating abortion drugs. It specifically bans using this framework for approvals under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or for risk management strategies. The bill also nullifies existing approvals of abortion drugs (like mifepristone) that relied on treating pregnancy as an illness. This directly affects how the FDA regulates abortion medications, changing the basis for their safety and efficacy evaluations.

Maddy summaryThe Second Chance for Moms Act (HR 796) requires a new warning label on mifepristone - a medication used for medical abortions - stating that natural progesterone may counteract its effects and increase fetal survival, with a hotline reference for further information. It also mandates a federal 24/7 hotline providing support and referrals exclusively to healthcare providers offering "abortion pill reversal" services. This bill directly affects patients prescribed mifepristone and healthcare providers who dispense the medication, as the label must appear on packaging and the hotline must be established. The warning label would take effect six months after enactment, and the hotline would operate under the Public Health Service Act.

Maddy summaryHR 797, the Ultrasounds Save Lives Act of 2025, requires abortion providers to perform an ultrasound before an abortion (except in medical emergencies) and share the results with the patient. It mandates a specific informed consent form detailing the fetus's gestational age, medical risks, developmental stage (including heartbeat and organ development), and provider penalties for non-compliance. Violations trigger civil penalties of $100,000-$250,000 per incident, plus private lawsuits allowing patients to seek triple the abortion cost in damages. The law applies to licensed medical providers and those legally authorized to perform abortions, with exceptions only when ultrasound poses a direct risk to the patient's life or major bodily function.
