This bill is designed to make voting easier for sick or disabled Arizona voters who can’t get to the polls. Special election board workers are already allowed to visit hospitals and care facilities to help these voters cast their ballots in person. The bill would also let these workers update the registration information—like a new address—of the specific voter they’re assigned to help, making sure the voter gets the correct ballot. There are strict rules: workers can only update registration for the voter they were sent to assist and cannot register new voters or update information for anyone else at the location.

AZ

This bill would update Arizona’s voter registration process through the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD). When someone registers or renews their voter registration while getting or renewing a driver license, the MVD must send a copy of the applicant’s handwritten signature to election officials within five days. The Secretary of State then forwards this signature to the appropriate county recorder. This ensures counties have an official signature on file to verify early ballot signatures and help prevent fraud. The bill also requires applicants to receive information about eligibility, penalties for false registration, and confidentiality policies.

AZ

This bill gives local governing bodies that certify election results the right to access election sites and materials before the canvass. It allows them to observe operations at places like election headquarters, tabulation centers, storage facilities, and voter registration sites, and to review and copy documents with assistance from election officials. Access must not disrupt procedures or violate privacy or security rules, and bodies must follow all security and confidentiality requirements. Altering or removing materials is only allowed by law. If access is denied, they can seek relief in court or from the Attorney General. Violations are a Class 2 misdemeanor.

AZ

This bill requires all Arizona public and charter schools to allow students, with written parental permission, to leave campus during school hours for off-site religious instruction lasting one to five hours per week. The organizations offering these classes must maintain attendance records, take responsibility for students while off campus, and ensure their instructors have qualifications comparable to regular school teachers. Schools are not responsible for transportation or costs related to these courses; those must be handled by the provider, student, or parents.

AZ

This bill would establish a “Celebrate Freedom Week” in all Arizona public schools. During this week, students in grades 1–12 would receive lessons on the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution (including the Bill of Rights), and their historical context. The curriculum would highlight how these documents relate to major American themes like immigration, the Revolution, abolition of slavery, and women’s suffrage. Students in grades 3–12 would recite a passage from the Declaration of Independence unless excused. Schools would also be prohibited from removing religious references from the founding documents during instruction.

AZ

This bill would prevent law enforcement officers from carrying out immigration enforcement actions—such as arrests, interviews, searches, or surveillance—at sensitive places like schools, hospitals, places of worship, courthouses, funerals, weddings, and facilities serving vulnerable people, unless there is a court order or an immediate threat to public safety. The goal is to ensure that people can access essential services and participate in important life events without fear of immigration enforcement at these locations, except in urgent or legally authorized situations.

MI

This bill would protect Michigan’s water by increasing state oversight of large users like factories, farms, bottling companies, and data centers. Anyone wanting to withdraw a significant amount of water or increase their usage would need a state permit. Before any major new withdrawals are approved, the public must be notified and given at least 45 days to comment. The state would only approve projects that use water efficiently, avoid harming streams and groundwater, and return most water to its original watershed. No company could permanently remove more than 2 million gallons of water per day from the local system.

MI

This bill would require Michigan’s Department of Corrections to give every person leaving prison a clear, written guide about voting. This guide, created by the Secretary of State, must explain that people released from prison are allowed to register and vote if they are otherwise eligible. It would also include step-by-step instructions on how to register to vote, how to cast a ballot on Election Day, how to vote early, and how to vote by absentee ballot. Additionally, the guide would list the dates of regular elections in Michigan.

MI

This bill would prohibit the use of ranked choice voting (RCV) in all Michigan elections—statewide, city, and township. It bans any local laws authorizing RCV, making them void. RCV is defined as any system allowing voters to rank candidates and using multi-round counting to determine a winner, or any method letting voters select more candidates than available positions.

MI

This bill would require individuals in Michigan to provide proof of U.S. citizenship—such as a birth certificate, passport, naturalization papers, certain tribal IDs, or a qualifying driver’s license or state ID—to register or preregister to vote. Automatic registration or preregistration would occur when citizenship documentation is provided during a driver’s license or state ID application, unless the individual opts out. The Secretary of State would verify citizenship, keep sensitive information confidential, and manage registration updates, including opportunities for eligible individuals released from incarceration to register. Additionally, voters would need to show a government-issued photo ID when voting.

MI

This bill modernizes Florida’s tax laws by requiring short-term rental platforms to collect taxes, offering sales tax refunds for storm-safe home upgrades, and creating employer tax credits for worker down payments. It lowers taxes on gambling, U.S.-made beer, and flood insurance, adds sales tax holidays for guns and outdoor gear, and limits property tax hikes in mobile home parks. The bill also requires estimated property taxes on home listings, aligns state corporate tax rules with the federal code as of January 1, 2026, but does not adopt the recent federal corporate tax cuts from the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act (HR1),” and grants the Department of Revenue broad authority to implement these changes with sunset dates for review.

FL

This bill would prevent Arizona’s public universities, colleges, and community colleges from banning concealed firearms for people who have a valid permit. It also protects the right to legally transport and store firearms, such as keeping them in vehicles on campus. While it eases restrictions on carrying concealed weapons, it keeps current penalties and rules for those who disrupt or interfere with the normal operations of a school. If passed, the bill would allow more lawful concealed carry on public college and university campuses and limit the authority of school boards to restrict it. The bill does not apply to K-12 schools or private educational institutions.

AZ

This bill expands parental rights by requiring schools and government agencies to get written parental consent before using a different name or pronouns for a child. Schools must also provide parents access to all educational and health records, including counseling notes, and staff are prohibited from withholding any information about a child’s well-being from parents. Parents can sue for violations, with minimum penalties of $500,000 against agencies and $20,000 against individual employees; public funds cannot be used to cover these costs. Any past violations must be disclosed to parents within six months or the same penalties apply.

AZ

This bill would let Arizona join a new federal tax credit program, allowing individuals to receive tax credits for donating to certified nonprofits that provide K-12 scholarships. The Arizona Department of Revenue would certify eligible nonprofits and report them annually to the U.S. Treasury. Beginning in 2027, these nonprofits could use donations to award scholarships for qualified education expenses, such as private school tuition and supplies. While not a direct voucher program, it operates similarly by giving families more ways to use scholarship funds for private education and expanding school choice in Arizona.

AZ

This bill would require all employees of Arizona’s Medicaid agency, the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), to work in person at an office, banning remote work. If passed, AHCCCS staff would no longer be allowed to work from home or any location outside the agency’s physical offices. This would mean more in-person service and oversight, but less flexibility for employees, added commute time and costs, and potentially more spending on office space.

AZ

This bill would ban the State of Arizona from requiring banks or financial institutions to use a social credit score—including social or environmental values—when making lending decisions. While Arizona does not currently have such a requirement, this bill would ensure the state cannot mandate it in the future. The goal is to keep loan decisions based solely on financial qualifications, rather than government-imposed social or environmental ratings, while still allowing banks to set their own standards.

AZ

This bill standardizes the expiration dates for Virginia’s limited-duration driver’s licenses, driver privilege cards, permits, and ID privilege cards. REAL ID credentials for individuals temporarily in the U.S. will only be valid for the period they are authorized to stay and cannot be issued if that authorization ends within 30 days. Driver privilege cards and permits will have two-year terms, and ID privilege cards will follow the same expiration as regular state IDs. The $50 fee for privilege cards remains, but is waived for homeless youth. The bill also protects privacy and does not require replacing current, unexpired cards, aiming to simplify rules and improve safety.

VA

This bill aims to better protect renters by allowing local governments—like cities and counties—to take legal action against landlords who fail to keep rental properties safe and livable. If a serious problem exists—such as a fire hazard, health or safety threat, rodent infestation, or lack of heat, water, electricity, or sewage—the local government can step in after notifying the landlord. If the landlord doesn’t fix the issue in a reasonable time, the locality can go to court to require repairs and seek financial compensation for affected tenants. This bill strengthens enforcement of housing standards and provides more support for renters.

VA

This bill would require Virginia public schools to try at least one proven restorative practice—such as mediation, peer circles, or community service—before suspending or expelling a student from elementary or secondary schools. These restorative methods are intended to help students understand and repair the harm caused by their actions, keep them engaged in school, and reduce exclusionary discipline. Immediate removal would still be allowed for serious cases, like those involving weapons, severe injury, or repeated major offenses. The bill also mandates statewide tracking, annual reporting, and training support to help schools implement these practices effectively.

VA

This bill creates a pilot program for Florida’s Department of Financial Services to accept certain stablecoins—digital currencies fully backed by real assets and with no extra fees—for government payments like licensing fees. Participation is optional, and refunds can also be issued in stablecoins if requested. The state may hold or issue its own stablecoin, with any profits benefiting taxpayers. The department will audit issuers, can convert stablecoins to dollars, and must report yearly on costs and security. Central bank digital currencies are excluded, and no one is required to use stablecoins or change existing payment methods.

FL

This bill updates Florida’s public sector labor laws and the role of the Public Employees Relations Commission. Most unions (except police, fire, and similar units) must now win yearly re-approval from a majority of all workers in their unit. Payroll dues deductions are banned for most unions, and dues must stop within 30 days if a member quits. The bill streamlines appeals and hearings, requires independent union audits, and improves transparency of union finances. Employers must give all sides equal access to facilities during union elections, fines for illegal strikes are increased, and on-the-clock union work is limited unless agreed.

FL

This bill increases local budget transparency and limits spending by requiring counties and cities to post tentative budgets online 14 days before public hearings and keep final budgets online for five years with searchable data, downloadable charts, employee salaries, and travel costs. A 10% budget-cutting exercise must be shown before adoption. Budget changes need longer notice and online posting. The bill bans funding or contracting for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, requires annual compliance certification, allows hotline complaints, and imposes daily fines for violations.

FL

This bill requires Florida agencies managing state-owned land to evaluate whether parts of those lands could be leased to private businesses for cattle grazing when developing or updating land management plans. If areas are found suitable, the plans must identify them and allow for grazing leases; if none are suitable, the agency must explain why in the plan. The bill ensures these decisions are transparent to the public and reviewed by relevant state councils to balance land use, conservation, and other public interests. These requirements apply to plans created or updated on or after July 1, 2026.

FL

This bill updates Florida’s rules for condo and homeowners’ associations (HOAs). Instead of requiring mediation first, conflicts between owners and associations would now go to state arbitration or a new Community Association Court. This court could enforce owner rights, fine or remove board members, appoint receivers, or dissolve associations if needed. HOAs must add a standard statement to their rules or let members vote on any rule changes. To dissolve an HOA, if 20% of homeowners petition, a vote must be held and at least two-thirds must agree; the court then reviews the process, ensures fair payouts after debts, and can penalize boards that try to block dissolution.

FL

This bill would limit when someone can sue a gun manufacturer in Florida for product liability. It states that firearm makers cannot be sued just because their guns do not have certain safety features—like magazine disconnects, loaded chamber indicators, special locks for authorized users, or manual safeties—unless those features are required by federal law. However, if a gun is actually defective or doesn’t work as promised, manufacturers could still be held responsible. The bill would take effect immediately if passed.

FL

This bill requires developers of frontier AI systems to publicly share detailed public safety and child protection plans explaining how they will identify and address major risks, before releasing new models. Developers must regularly publish summaries of their risk assessments and disclose risk management steps, including third-party evaluations. The bill prohibits false or misleading statements about AI risks, mandates prompt reporting of safety incidents to a new Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy, and provides whistleblower protections for employees who report safety concerns. Penalties are established for companies that violate these requirements.

UT

This bill would prohibit Utah state agencies from setting pollution or waste regulations that are stricter than federal requirements. If no federal standard exists for a specific issue, any new state rule must be based on the best available science and clearly show a direct link between exposure and actual harm to human health. Exceptions include cases where stricter rules are federally mandated, site-specific needs, or emergencies. In practice, this bill limits Utah’s ability to adopt stronger environmental or waste protections than those established at the federal level.

UT

This bill changes how major civil lawsuits against the State of Utah or its officials are handled. In any case challenging the constitutionality of a Utah law, the Attorney General is guaranteed the right to participate. When a state agency or official is sued, the Attorney General, Governor, or Legislature can require the case to be decided by a randomly selected panel of three district court judges from different regions, instead of a single judge. Usual venue rules do not apply, and any decisions by these panels are appealed directly to the Utah Supreme Court, skipping the regular appeals court.

UT

This bill tightens Utah’s rules for unlicensed driving by requiring police to impound vehicles when drivers lack a license, permit, or driving privilege card and can’t be verified, with some exceptions. Officers may use fingerprinting to ID drivers, and agencies must have compatible equipment by 2028. Impound and testing fees rise to $600 and $60, repeat offenses become a class B misdemeanor, and owners who let unlicensed people drive face a $500 minimum fine. The bill also updates license checks, suspension rules, and requires fingerprinting technology to link with police and court databases.

UT

This bill updates Utah’s election laws by changing the rules around voter registration privacy. After April 6, 2026, voter records that were previously private will become public unless voters apply for and are approved as at-risk. Election officials must notify affected voters so they can request continued privacy. The bill also lets voters choose whether to share their contact information with political parties, adds new requirements for keeping voter rolls accurate, increases penalties for misuse of voter data, requires warnings on petitions about potential disclosure of private information, and shifts responsibility for preparing voter materials on constitutional amendments to legislative staff.
