WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Richard Hudson, Fort Bragg's Congressman, applauded a final rule issued by the U.S. Department of Defense on June 17, 2021, that will allow service members to pursue medical malpractice claims in the military. The rule follows passage of the Rich Stayskal Act, legislation Rep. Hudson helped enact as part of the National Defense Authorization Act signed by President Donald Trump in Dec. 2019.
WASHINGTON (WTVD) -- There was a breakthrough Thursday in a Troubleshooter investigation involving a Fort Bragg soldier's fight to give service members the right to seek compensation for medical malpractice.
On Thursday, the Department of Defense published a rule on how it will process claims under the Stayskal Act. It's a big win for Sgt. 1st Class Richard Stayskal, along with service members and their families as they will now have guidance on how claims of medical malpractice by military doctors will move forward.

WASHINGTON (WNCN) – Joining together in a bi-partisan letter, U.S. Reps Richard Hudson (R-NC) and Deborah Ross (D-NC) are pleading with the EPA to do more.
They want Chemours to pay for health and environmental testing of toxic chemicals used at its facility in Fayetteville.
"In particular people who produce the chemicals, who have access to the most information should care about the health and safety of people in North Carolina and across the country," said Ross.
Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) is leading 140 members of Congress against the ATF's proposed AR-pistol rule and suggesting the rule is a tax on "disabled combat veterans."
Hudson and his colleagues sent a letter dated June 15, 2021, to Attorney General Merrick Garland and acting ATF director Marvin Richardson, urging the proposed rule to be withdrawn.
They pointed out that the ATF previously recognized AR-pistol braces for the benefit disabled combat veterans receive from them:

A majority of House Republicans are vowing to kill a new Biden plan to tax and regulate one of the nation's most popular firearms for target practice and hunting, claiming it discriminates against disabled veterans and would make all owners "felons overnight."
Led by Second Amendment advocate Rep. Richard Hudson, 141 Republicans (and likely more to come) are targeting a revived rule from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives backed by the Justice Department to turn AR-style pistols into expensive, hard to get guns.
