This bill would make it illegal for youth transportation companies in Michigan to use certain types of restraints—such as blindfolds, hoods, handcuffs, chains, straitjackets, or similar items—on minors being transported to qualified residential treatment programs. Exceptions are permitted only if there is a substantial likelihood of imminent serious physical harm, and only if trained staff apply the restraint, using the least restrictive method possible and only for as long as the immediate danger persists. Companies that violate these rules could face civil fines, and actions may be brought by a county prosecutor or the state attorney general within ten years of the violation.

MI

This bill would require that 8.9% of Michigan’s 4% state sales tax be sent to a dedicated revenue-sharing fund instead of the general fund starting October 1, 2026. These funds would be distributed directly to local governments—including cities, villages, townships, and counties—to support important community services such as police, fire departments, road maintenance, and parks. The bill is designed to provide local governments with a more stable and predictable source of funding each year, so they can better plan and maintain essential services for residents.

MI

This bill would require Michigan school districts and public school academies that receive extra state funding to use those funds to improve student achievement, focusing on literacy, mathematics, and English language development. Districts must test English language learners, provide a minimum number of minutes for language instruction each week, and implement an evidence-based system of academic and behavioral supports. The bill also limits administrative expenses to 2% of the additional funds, requires annual reporting to parents on student progress and funding use, and allows state audits to ensure compliance.

MI

This bill would make it illegal to use automated bots or tools to bypass online retailers’ checkout limits or inventory controls, and to sell products obtained through such means. Both bot operators and those knowingly reselling these goods would be held accountable. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would enforce these rules as unfair or deceptive practices, and state attorneys general could also pursue civil actions. Exceptions are included for legitimate cybersecurity research and investigations. The goal is to protect consumers and ensure fair access to high-demand products online.

US

This bill requires the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran within 30 days unless Congress specifically authorizes continued military action. It reaffirms that only Congress has the authority to declare war and clarifies that the withdrawal requirement does not apply to U.S. forces acting in self-defense, protecting allies or embassies, conducting defensive deployments, or performing intelligence activities. The bill does not authorize any new military action; instead, it ensures that any ongoing or expanded operations against Iran must first receive congressional approval.

US

This bill would require operating system providers—like those behind iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS—to collect users’ birth dates when setting up devices such as phones, tablets, and computers. For users under 18, a parent or guardian would need to verify the minor’s age and would gain access to parental controls over device content. App developers could access age information as needed to comply with the law. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would oversee implementation, set privacy and security regulations, and report to Congress on progress and potential updates.

US

This bill would require public elementary and middle schools that receive federal funding to obtain parental consent before making changes to a student’s gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on school records. It would also require parental approval before allowing a student to use bathrooms or locker rooms that differ from their sex assigned at birth. The bill defines “covered student” as any minor in elementary or middle grades, using definitions from federal education law. Schools that do not follow these consent requirements could lose federal funding.

US

This amendment would take map-drawing power away from lawmakers and give it to independent commissions for House, Senate, and congressional districts. It would require open meetings, public records, statewide hearings, and online citizen input. The Legislature could mainly choose from commission maps, while courts would settle disputes. It also raises Senate seats from 40 to 60 and House seats from 120 to 180, creating smaller districts and likely more local representation.

FL

This bill redraws Florida’s 28 congressional districts based on 2020 Census data. The new map, to be used from 2026 onward, would increase Republican-leaning districts from 20 to 24 and reduce Democratic-leaning ones from 8 to 4, making seats held by Democrats Kathy Castor (Tampa Bay), Darren Soto (Orlando), Lois Frankel (Palm Beach), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Broward) more competitive or Republican-leaning. Critics warn the plan may violate constitutional rules against partisan gerrymandering. The maps must be approved by the legislature.

FL

This bill would change Michigan law to permit certified nurse practitioners, and in some cases occupational therapists, to certify that an individual has a qualifying disability for the purpose of obtaining a disability parking placard, license plate, tab, or free parking sticker. The bill adds these professionals to the list of those authorized to verify physical conditions such as inability to walk, use of assistive devices, severe lung or heart conditions, and other qualifying disabilities. Programs and penalties for misuse or fraud related to these parking privileges would remain in place.

MI

This bill would require all Michigan teacher preparation and alternative certification programs, starting in late 2027, to include instruction on the science of reading, dyslexia, and evidence-based reading interventions. The bill specifies that programs must cover the characteristics of dyslexia, its effects on students, ways to adjust instruction for struggling readers, and how to use a multi-tiered system of support in schools. Programs that do not meet these requirements could have their state approval revoked or denied, unless granted a waiver by the state.

MI

This bill would require Michigan health insurance plans to count all payments made for prescription drugs—whether you pay out of pocket, use a manufacturer’s discount card, or receive help from an assistance program—toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum. This means that discounts or coupons from drug companies would also count. The rule applies to plans issued or renewed after December 31, 2025, with special guidelines for high-deductible plans and some exceptions for generic drugs.

MI

This bill would repeal several Michigan firearm and weapon laws, including restrictions on concealed weapons. It updates exemptions for peace officers, corrections staff, military members, and licensed individuals, and changes rules for carrying firearms on school property. Certain people, such as concealed pistol license holders or those with school permission, could carry firearms in specific situations. The bill also reduces some penalties, allows exceptions for transporting unloaded or antique firearms, and requires training for corrections workers who carry stun devices.

MI

This bill would amend Michigan’s Human Trafficking Notification Act to require hotels, motels, inns, and similar lodging businesses to post state-approved human trafficking hotline notices on their premises. This expands current requirements for places like rest stops, transportation stations, adult entertainment establishments, public airports, and properties with a court-identified history of prostitution or trafficking. Notices must follow state agency guidelines and provide clear instructions for victims or witnesses on how to seek help or report trafficking.

MI

This bill would make it illegal for Michigan employers to ask job applicants about their past wages, benefits, credit score, or credit history during the hiring process. Employers would also be prohibited from requiring employees to sign agreements that stop them from sharing their wage information with others. The bill protects employees from being fired, disciplined, or discriminated against for discussing or disclosing their pay. The intention is to make hiring practices more equal and allow workers to have open conversations about wages without fear of negative consequences.

MI

This bill would remove legal penalties for minors who purchase, attempt to purchase, possess, or use tobacco products, vapor products, or alternative nicotine products. It would also apply to minors who use false identification for these purposes. The bill ends fines, misdemeanor charges, community service, and required participation in health programs for these offenses. These changes would repeal the relevant penalties outlined in current law for minors' possession or use of such products.

MI

This bill would prohibit Michigan hospitals from requiring registered nurses to work beyond their scheduled shifts, except during declared emergencies, mass casualty incidents, ongoing patient care procedures where leaving could harm a patient, or short-term staffing gaps due to unexpected absences. Nurses working 12 or more consecutive hours must receive at least 8 hours off before their next shift. Hospitals cannot retaliate against nurses for refusing extra overtime and must post information about these rights and how to file complaints.

MI

This bill would make it easier for Michigan residents to access opioid addiction treatment, especially through mobile methadone clinics. The bill prevents the state from enforcing rules that limit the number of mobile treatment units, require clinics to return to a fixed location each night, or demand patients prove a year-long history of opioid use before starting methadone. It also removes extra paperwork requirements for continuing care and stops programs from discharging patients just for missing counseling. Overall, this bill is designed to expand access, reduce barriers, and support long-term recovery for people seeking substance use disorder treatment.

MI

This bill would lower Michigan’s individual income tax rate from 4.25% to 4.05% starting in 2025 and establish 4.05% as the permanent base rate moving forward. The rate could be reduced further in future years if state revenues grow faster than inflation, but it could not increase above 4.05% under this bill. The changes apply to individuals, partnerships, estates, and trusts, updating the Michigan Income Tax Act accordingly. In addition, the bill adjusts how much income tax revenue is allocated to the State School Aid Fund, providing for small annual increases in the portion deposited through 2026 and beyond.

MI

This bill would allow more children in Michigan’s foster care system to qualify for guardianship financial support. Under this bill, licensed foster parents, not just relatives, could receive guardianship assistance if a child has lived with them for at least six months. Background checks would still be required for all guardians and adults in the home. This change aims to help more children leave foster care for stable, permanent homes, even if their guardian is not a relative.

MI

This bill changes how Arizona calculates property taxes for renewable energy projects like solar farms and battery storage. Only projects owned by a utility or with an exclusive utility agreement that begin construction before January 1, 2030, will receive a major tax break, with just 20% of the equipment’s value (after depreciation) taxed. Utility projects that start after December 31, 2029, lose this benefit and are taxed on the full depreciated value. Privately owned or non-utility-connected projects never receive this tax break and will always be taxed on their full value after depreciation.

AZ

This bill would require Arizona county recorders to post voter registration rolls online in a free, downloadable, read-only format. Publicly available information would include each voter’s name, party preference, addresses, birth year, phone number and occupation (if provided), registration date, and voting history for the past four years, including early ballot activity. Sensitive details like full birth date, Social Security and driver’s license numbers, email addresses, and signatures would remain protected. The bill restricts use of the data to election-related purposes, with penalties for unauthorized or commercial use.

AZ

This bill would prohibit Michigan from approving or buying new electronic voting systems after January 1, 2026, if they contain parts from companies flagged by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for national security concerns. Existing voting systems purchased before this date could still be used and serviced, unless they undergo major upgrades, which would trigger the new restrictions. The bill also reinforces requirements for voting systems to use paper ballots, protect voter secrecy, ensure accessibility, provide audit trails, and allow the Board of State Canvassers to approve or disapprove systems as needed.

MI

This bill requires that, within 48 hours after Arizona counties finish their official election results, the county boards or election officers must send the cast vote records to the Secretary of State in a sortable, unaltered format. For precincts, precinct splits, or ballot styles with fewer than 25 registered voters, only the number of voters and cast vote records are reported to protect privacy. The bill defines a cast vote record as an electronic record of voters’ selections from a ballot or ballot image that cannot be linked to a specific voter. All information required by this bill becomes a public record.

AZ

This bill amends Arizona election law to require the Secretary of State to consult with county boards of supervisors, county recorders, and legislative leaders from committees with jurisdiction over election matters when creating the state’s Election Procedures Manual (EPM). The manual must be issued by December 31 of each odd-numbered year before a general election and approved by the Governor and Attorney General. The bill makes violations of related rules a class 2 misdemeanor and requires expert personnel to review electronic voting systems and recommend changes.

AZ

This resolution seeks to impeach Secretary of Defense Peter B. Hegseth for high crimes and misdemeanors. The bill charges him with starting military actions against Iran without Congressional approval, endangering U.S. troops and civilians, violating laws of armed conflict, mishandling classified information, obstructing Congressional oversight, abusing his position for political purposes, and discriminating against women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people of color in the military. If passed, the articles of impeachment would be sent to the Senate for a possible trial and removal from office.

US

This resolution would prohibit the U.S. government from completing a specific proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Israel. The sale in question consists of 12,000 BLU-110A/B general purpose bomb bodies, each weighing 1,000 pounds, as well as related non-major defense equipment. This includes U.S. government and contractor engineering, logistics, and technical support services, along with other related elements of logistics and program support. If enacted, this resolution would block the delivery of these defense articles and services to Israel.

US

This bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Haiti through April 2029. TPS allows Haitians already living in the United States to stay legally and avoid deportation during this period. It also lets eligible individuals apply for work permits, providing them legal authorization to work. The bill does not create a path to permanent residency or citizenship—it simply offers temporary protection and work eligibility for Haitians while their home country remains in crisis.

US

This bill would change how air quality standards are enforced in the United States. Under this bill, states could avoid federal penalties and “nonattainment” designations for air pollution if they can prove that most of the pollution comes from outside the U.S., from exceptional events like wildfires, or from mobile sources—such as traffic—that are difficult for the state to control. This means that if a state demonstrates it would meet federal air quality standards except for these uncontrollable sources, federal sanctions and stricter regulations would not apply.

US

This bill would extend the federal government’s surveillance powers under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) until October 20, 2027, instead of letting them expire in 2026. If passed, agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and National Security Agency (NSA) could continue collecting and monitoring certain communications—especially those involving suspected foreign threats—without interruption. These powers may also impact the privacy of Americans, as some communications involving people in the U.S. could be included. This bill would not add any limits or reforms.
