This bill would prevent hospitals and transplant centers from denying organ transplants to patients solely because they have a physical or mental disability. Providers must consider the support networks available to a patient and make reasonable accommodations unless doing so would fundamentally alter the procedure or cause undue burden. Medical decisions may still consider disabilities if they are medically relevant to the transplant’s outcome. Patients who believe they have faced discrimination can file complaints with the Office for Civil Rights. The bill upholds existing protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and allows states to offer even stronger protections.

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Education to screen all applications for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for identity fraud starting October 1, 2026. Flagged applicants and their colleges must be notified, and extra identity verification is required before federal aid is given. Colleges must keep verification records, follow federal guidelines, and report to the Department. The Secretary must provide annual reports to Congress and alert them to major system changes. Schools repeatedly giving aid to flagged students will face review unless they comply with requirements.

Federal

This bill authorizes federal agencies and the Treasury to temporarily pause or split government payments flagged as high-risk for fraud, using objective indicators like unusual payment activity or data mismatches. Agencies must quickly notify recipients and let them contest the decision, while only the suspicious portion of a payment may be delayed so routine, low-risk amounts continue as usual. Payments related to law enforcement are exempt, and the Treasury must submit annual reports on the number, outcomes, and challenges of paused payments.

Federal

This bill creates new fraud prevention and financial integrity functions within the Treasury, including the Do Not Pay system and a governmentwide data analysis program. It authorizes secure data sharing among agencies to prevent improper payments and establishes a permanent Office of the Inspector General for Fraud, Accountability, and Recovery to audit and report on federal fund fraud. The Treasury must ensure privacy protections, enter data sharing agreements, provide recommendations for large federal spending, and oversee a transition of functions by December 31, 2028.

Federal

This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to speed up first union contract negotiations. After a union is certified, employers and unions must start talks within 10 days of a written request. If no agreement is reached in 90 days, either party can request federal mediation. If mediation fails within 30 days, a three-person arbitration panel sets a binding two-year contract. Employers must keep current pay and working conditions during talks. The bill also requires a report to Congress on average time-to-contract within a year. These steps set firm deadlines and a binding process to resolve first contracts between newly unionized workers and employers.

Federal

This bill would update Michigan’s bottle and can return laws to make recycling easier for shoppers and cut down on fraud. If a store has a return machine that isn’t working or doesn’t accept certain brands it sells, the store would have to take back those containers by hand and give cash refunds. Stores would also have to post clear signs telling customers about their rights when returning bottles and cans. The bill requires beverage companies to put Michigan-specific marks on many containers so machines can tell if a bottle or can is really from Michigan. This helps prevent people from bringing in containers from other states just to get the deposit back.

Michigan

This bill strengthens anti-fraud protections in federal child care assistance programs. States would be required to implement more rigorous eligibility verification, establish stronger internal controls to prevent fraud, investigate suspected scams, annually report improper payments, and recover misused funds. If a state’s improper payment rate exceeds 5% in any fiscal year, it must submit a corrective action plan and show progress; failure to do so for two consecutive years could result in loss of federal funding. Child care providers found guilty of fraud—such as submitting false information—would be permanently barred from federal child care and related food assistance programs.

Federal

This bill provides $204.6 billion for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and rural development. It includes $26.27 billion in discretionary funding—a $380 million (1.4%) decrease from last year. The cut reflects reduced funding for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), rural development, and certain USDA research and administrative accounts. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and WIC also receive less mandatory funding. It funds school meals, food safety, farm loans, rural infrastructure, and agricultural research, and includes $200 million for FDA enforcement against illegal e-cigarettes, updated pet food labeling, grants for pet shelters, specialty crops, and senior nutrition. Congressional approval would be required to close any Agricultural Research Service labs.

Federal

This bill authorizes nearly $70 billion in new federal funding for border security and immigration enforcement through 2029. It provides $9.55 billion to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for border personnel, $7.45 billion to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)—including $108.5 million for child exploitation investigators—$3.45 billion for border security technology, and $2.5 billion for additional Department of Homeland Security (DHS) mission support. For immigration enforcement, it allocates $13.02 billion to CBP, $31.08 billion to ICE for enforcement activities (with at least $350 million for arrest and monitoring in non-cooperating jurisdictions), and $2.5 billion for DHS enforcement and removal support.

Federal

This bill would require the President, under the authority of the War Powers Resolution, to withdraw all U.S. armed forces out of Lebanon within seven days. It would quickly end direct U.S. military involvement there, likely reducing danger to American service members and lowering the risk of the U.S. being drawn into a wider regional conflict. It also strengthens Congress’s role in deciding when U.S. forces stay in overseas operations, but could limit America’s ability to respond quickly in Lebanon.

Federal

This bill expands U.S. support for Ukraine in response to Russia’s invasion, reaffirming cooperation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). It condemns abuses like the forced transfer of Ukrainian children and provides wide-ranging diplomatic, economic, and military aid—including expanded lend-lease authority, foreign military financing, and insurance for shipping and investment in Ukraine. The bill creates a Ukraine Reconstruction Trust Fund, promotes nuclear energy cooperation, and supports independent news by countering Russian disinformation. It imposes broad sanctions on Russian industries and banks, including higher tariffs, tighter export limits, and penalties for oil trade and nuclear threats, while including humanitarian exemptions.

Federal

This bill revises how Florida counties, cities, and special districts set their maximum property tax (millage) rates. Local governments could now increase rates up to 110% of their previous maximum with a two-thirds board vote, and go higher with either a unanimous vote or a three-fourths vote for larger boards. Currently, increases are based on last year’s actual rate, even if it was below the legal maximum; this bill allows increases based on the maximum authorized rate, potentially leading to higher tax hikes. The bill also standardizes and expands property tax notice requirements, adding QR codes and a website for taxpayers to estimate savings from proposed constitutional amendments, along with clearer information on calculations and local assessments. It also provides funding for mailing costs.

Florida

This proposed constitutional amendment would lower some property taxes for homeowners by expanding the homestead exemption on non-school taxes from $50,000 up to $175,000. The larger tax break would not apply to school taxes, special districts, or local voter-approved property taxes. To prevent cuts to police, fire, and emergency services, local public safety funding must stay at current levels, and the state must create a fund to cover lost local revenue. If passed by the legislature, it will appear on the 2026 November ballot to be decided by voters.

Florida

This proposed constitutional amendment would ask voters to cut property taxes by expanding the homestead exemption from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027 for current Florida residents. The exemption then increases to $250,000 in 2028, but new movers to Florida would have to wait 5 years for the change. It would also limit future tax assessment increases for many rental, business, and other properties from 10% to 5% a year. It would limit county and city property tax spending to core services, and create a state fund to help local governments cover the gap. If passed by the legislature, it will appear on the 2026 November ballot to be decided by voters.

Florida

This bill would let lenders and business borrowers agree to any interest rate and prepayment penalties on mortgage loans secured by single-family homes, if the loan is for business, commercial, or investment use. For personal, family, or household loans, existing protections remain, such as prepayment penalties being capped at 1% if paid off within 3 years and banned after that, deposits can't be required except for escrow, and extra fees or points are restricted. Interest must be charged only on unpaid loan balances.

Michigan

This bill would create the Office of Digital Oversight within the Michigan Legislature. The office would be led by a digital oversight officer, appointed by the legislature for a three-year term. Its main role would be to investigate, join, or take over state agency technology projects and purchases, especially if projects risk exceeding costs, missing deadlines, or failing to deliver results. The office would also encourage agencies to use modern software development practices and tools, such as agile methods and open-source software. State agencies would be required to share information and records for investigations. However, the office’s investigation records would be exempt from public records requests, and it would not have access to attorney-client or executive privileged information.

Michigan

This bill would allow winners of multistate lottery games in Michigan, like Powerball, to keep their names, addresses, and other personal details private unless they choose to share them. The bill extends privacy protections already given to many large in-state lottery winners. It also blocks the public release of this information through records requests, meaning the details of multistate lottery winners would not be accessible to the public unless the winner agrees.

Michigan

This bill allows Michigan small businesses with fewer than 500 employees and qualifying self-employed workers to join nonprofit business associations to buy health insurance as a group. Plans must cover essential benefits like mental health, maternity, preventive care, and dependents, and cannot set rates based on health status or claims history. The state would license and oversee these pools, require financial reporting, and create a reinsurance program to reimburse 60% of certain high-cost claims.

Michigan

This bill moves the USF (University of South Florida) Sarasota-Manatee campus, its buildings, and related debt to New College of Florida, while requiring space so current USF students can finish their degrees there. New USF students could no longer pick that campus after July 2026. It also gives universities more freedom to set out-of-state tuition and fees, which could raise costs for nonresident students, and sets aside money for building upkeep and sex-equality requirements.

Florida

This bill implements Florida’s 2026-27 budget by setting how funds are managed for schools, health care, public safety, housing, transportation, and the environment. It changes school and school-safety funding formulas, lets agencies move Medicaid and child health money to meet demand, extends homeowner storm-hardening grants and several pilot programs, and tightens oversight of state technology, payroll, travel, and other agency spending.

Florida

This bill sets Florida’s 2026-27 state budget. It would send billions more to K-12 schools, college scholarships, child care, Medicaid disability and mental health services, policing, roads, and environmental projects. It also funds school security, teacher pay boosts, nursing and workforce training, veterans’ programs, and public facilities. For residents, that means broader public services, safer schools, and faster infrastructure work.

Florida

This resolution would require U.S. forces to stop taking part in fighting in or against Iran unless Congress clearly approves it. It aims to reduce the risk of a wider war and put decisions about major military action back in Congress’s hands. The bill still allows the U.S. to defend itself, protect troops and facilities, share intelligence, and help allies block attacks from Iran or groups it supports.

Federal

This bill proposes to amend the eligible foods for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. Specifically, it would allow SNAP recipients to purchase hot rotisserie chicken, which is currently excluded from the program because it is sold hot and considered a prepared food. By including “hot rotisserie chicken” in the list of eligible foods, the bill aims to make it easier for people using SNAP—such as low-income families, seniors, and those without access to full kitchens—to obtain this particular convenient, ready-to-eat protein option.

Federal

This bill proposes new requirements for court-appointed monitors overseeing state or local governments. The bill limits monitors to one case at a time, with a maximum term of five years, and prohibits reappointment to the same case. It imposes caps on fees, encourages the use of pro bono or reduced-rate work, and requires annual public reports detailing services provided and fees charged. Before a monitor is appointed, the court must give public notice and allow for public comment. If a monitorship exceeds six years, the case must be reassigned to a new judge and, if needed, a new monitor. These provisions also apply retroactively to existing long-term monitorships.

Federal

This bill would require the U.S. Attorney General to publish, within one year and then annually, a public list of states and local governments that permit the release—without cash bail—of people charged with certain serious offenses. “Covered offenses” are defined as crimes the Attorney General determines pose a clear threat to public safety, including but not limited to murder, rape, robbery, burglary, assault, carjacking, looting, vandalism, destruction of property, rioting, and fleeing law enforcement. The bill does not change existing bail laws, but aims to increase transparency, help citizens compare policies, and may add pressure on jurisdictions using cashless bail for these offenses.

Federal

This bill would allow E15 gasoline, a fuel blend with 15% ethanol, to be sold year-round nationwide, expanding fuel choices and possibly lowering prices at the pump. It also changes renewable fuel rules for small oil refiners by ending most special exemptions after 2027, giving some smaller companies lighter requirements, and allowing emergency relief for plants at risk of closing. EPA would also update pump labels and fuel storage rules.
