Expands privacy in public records. Agencies could no longer release many personal details, including age, full birth date, language, home address, place of birth precise location data, government ID numbers, and utility account data. Some voter, property, and business addresses stay public. Emergency contacts may be shared during emergencies. This lowers risks like doxxing and identity theft but narrows public access. Takes effect only if funded by June 30, 2026.

WA

Improves finding missing endangered people. Police can get warrants—or act first in emergencies—to use phone-tracking tools to locate them, with strict privacy and deletion rules. Courts get clear risk factors to approve searches. Creates Ebony (missing Black person) and Purple (person with a disability) alerts and updates other alerts. State Patrol runs the missing‑person site, shares to NamUs. Search info may be withheld. DSHS can confirm recent benefit use to show a person is alive.

WA

This bill proposes to establish Election Day—the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November—as an official state holiday in Utah, beginning on May 6, 2026. On this day, most state government offices and courts would be closed, and many public employees, as well as potentially teachers and students in public schools, would have the day off. Private businesses would not be required to close, so they can choose whether to stay open or not. The intent is to make it easier for people to participate in voting and to serve as poll workers by removing work and school conflicts.

UT

This bill would give an honorary name—“Charlie Kirk Memorial Avenue”—to a specific section of S.R. 985/S.W. 107th Avenue in Miami-Dade County, between S.W. 24th Street and S.R. 90/S.W. 8th Street. If passed, the Florida Department of Transportation would put up new signs showing this name. There would be a small cost to the state for making and installing the new signs. The name and signs would take effect on July 1, 2026.

FL

This bill would require landlords and vacation rental owners in Florida to install loud alarms or self-closing, self-latching devices on doors and windows that lead to a pool or any body of water at least two feet deep, if it’s within 150 feet of the property. This is meant to help prevent child drownings. Owners who don’t comply could face a second-degree misdemeanor, but there’s no penalty if a tenant or guest removed a safety device without the owner’s knowledge and the owner fixes it within 45 days. The law would start July 1, 2026.

FL

This bill increases protections for people buying dogs and cats in Florida. If a pet is found to be sick, misrepresented, or has a hereditary disorder shortly after purchase, buyers can get a refund, exchange, or reimbursement for vet costs. If the purchase was financed and returned, the loan must be canceled with no penalty. All financing terms must be disclosed upfront, and there’s a required three-day wait for financed sales. Pet dealers must provide medical records and keep them for seven years. Violations are treated as unfair business practices, and buyers can sue for damages. The law would start on July 1, 2026.

FL

This bill bans K-12 public schools from spending money on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, political activism, or groups that discriminate. It requires schools to teach fetal development with videos, but parents can opt their children out of these and other health lessons. Schools must use FDA-approved epinephrine for allergies and follow stricter classroom door-locking rules. Districts and charters must adopt evidence-based math plans, and the state can remove objectionable materials. Early learning providers face 2–5 year bans for violations. Struggling districts must submit improvement plans and data to the state.

FL

This bill allows colleges to join the school guardian program and appoint trained, armed staff for campus safety. It permits certain employees and students to carry handguns on campus if they meet requirements like holding a concealed carry permit. The bill establishes a felony for firing a weapon within 1,000 feet of a school (with exceptions for self-defense) and requires arrested individuals to be held until a judge sets bail. Colleges must also promote a tip-reporting app, provide active shooter training to staff and students, post mental health resources, form threat assessment teams, conduct annual security checks, and transfer safety and threat data.

FL

This bill reduces the cost to renew a concealed pistol license in Michigan from $115 to $30, making it more affordable. The license will still be valid for about 4 to 5 years. County clerks must send renewal notices by mail before a license expires, and people can renew online or by mail. While a renewal is being processed, a receipt can be used as a temporary license. Renewal requirements remain minimal—a brief review of training and one hour of range time, which applicants still affirm they have completed without needing to submit documentation. Applicants do not need to submit new fingerprints if theirs are already on file.

MI

This bill strengthens Michigan’s campaign finance laws by banning ballot question committees from accepting contributions from foreign nationals and requiring donors to confirm they are not foreign entities. It increases transparency by imposing stricter reporting on contributions, fundraising activities, and independent spending by outside groups that seek to influence ballot questions, with stronger penalties for violations. The bill also clarifies the enforcement roles of the Secretary of State and Attorney General, aiming to keep foreign money out of Michigan elections and improve accountability in political spending.

MI

This bill makes it a serious crime to lie about key information in fertility treatments, such as details about embryos, donors, or a donor’s medical or family history. Providing false or misleading information could lead to up to five years in prison or a $50,000 fine. Health professionals face even tougher penalties—up to fifteen years in prison or a $100,000 fine—for using embryos, eggs, or sperm without a patient’s written consent. The rules apply even if an anonymous donor is used for the fertility treatment.

MI

This bill raises the income cap for Michigan’s special assessment deferment program to $29,619 and ties future increases to inflation. The program lets seniors (65+) and permanently disabled homeowners delay paying local charges like sidewalk or sewer fees. To qualify, applicants must be U.S. citizens, have lived in Michigan and owned their home for at least five years. The deferred charges become a state lien on the property, which must be repaid when the home is sold or transferred. Lender consent is needed if there’s a mortgage or land contract, and false claims are penalized as perjury.

MI

This bill would let Michigan join the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, making it easier for doctors already licensed in other member states to get licensed here. The compact streamlines the process by recognizing shared standards, so eligible doctors can apply for an expedited license using their existing credentials and background checks. The bill explains how doctors pick a “home base” state, how applications and renewals work, and how discipline is shared across states. Michigan’s existing medical laws would stay in place, but this would create a faster licensing path for qualified doctors to serve more communities.

MI

This bill would allow people to sue companies, schools, government agencies, and other organizations that use certain banned diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Successful lawsuits would guarantee at least $100,000 in damages, plus other compensation and legal costs, and could result in a court order to stop the policy; claims must be filed within three years. The bill targets DEI, critical race theory (CRT), and anti-racism policies, especially those suggesting one race or sex is superior, the U.S. is fundamentally racist or sexist, or that people should feel guilt based on race or sex.

AZ

This bill would make it illegal for staff at Arizona public schools and libraries to direct minors to any sexually explicit material or help them access it in any way. There are exceptions for materials with clear educational, literary, artistic, political, or scientific value, but schools can only use these if parents give written consent for each item, and students without consent must get alternative assignments. Staff who break these rules through criminal negligence could face felony charges.

AZ

This bill would require Department of Child Safety (DCS) caseworkers to take a photograph of a child every time they meet with them during an investigation of possible abuse or neglect, and to keep these photos in the child’s case file. Whenever a safety plan is being created for the child, the caseworker shall review all the photos to see if the child’s appearance or health has gotten worse over time. The purpose is to help caseworkers spot warning signs earlier and take action more quickly if a child is at risk. If passed, these changes would begin in 2027.

AZ

This bill requires paid petition circulators (signature collectors) in Arizona to inform people they are paid, provide their first name and home state, and wear a visible badge with this information; signatures collected without these disclosures are invalid. It also strengthens registration and enforcement for both state and local petition circulators, ensuring paid and out-of-state circulators are tracked and accountable. Paying people based on the number of signatures they collect is still not allowed. Additionally, city and county ballot measures involving public funds must clearly disclose the total cost, the long-term financial impact, and specify the immediate and future sources of funding.

AZ

This bill gives full property tax exemption on their primary home to Arizona veterans with a 100% service-connected disability, with the benefit continuing for a surviving spouse who lives there and does not remarry. Veterans with lower disability ratings, widows/widowers, and people with total permanent disabilities may get partial exemptions if their home value and income are below set limits. Limits adjust yearly for inflation. The bill takes effect for tax years after 2025.

AZ

This bill would generally bar Virginia law enforcement from using local resources—such as time, money, equipment, or staff—to assist federal immigration officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in identifying, arresting, or penalizing people for immigration violations. Police could only assist with a judge-signed warrant, subpoena, or court order. The main exception allows arrest without a warrant if police suspect a crime and ICE or another federal authority confirms the person is in the country illegally, has a U.S. felony conviction, and was previously deported for that conviction.

VA

This bill bans the import, sale, transfer, and manufacture of assault firearms and large-capacity magazines in Virginia, with exceptions for law enforcement, military, and antiques. While adults may keep assault firearms they already own, anyone under 21 cannot buy, possess, or transfer these firearms at all—even if acquired before the law. Violations are misdemeanors and result in a three-year ban on firearm possession. The bill also creates rules for buy-back programs and how surrendered firearms should be handled.

VA

This bill makes it illegal to offer or accept money or valuable items to influence how someone votes or whether they register to vote, aiming to prevent bribery and protect fair elections. Violators would face a serious misdemeanor charge. The bill allows ordinary voter assistance, like giving rides to the polls, providing small non-cash items (like snacks or water), or letting employees take time off to vote or register. These rules apply to all elections, including party primaries and conventions, to help ensure election integrity without restricting common voter support.

VA

This bill funds the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through 2026, covering agencies like Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Coast Guard, Secret Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and cybersecurity efforts. It provides money for new body cameras and technology for officers, sets stricter immigration detention rules, and allows canceling contracts with detention facilities that don’t meet standards. The bill ensures there are no new land border fees and lets individuals bring in a personal supply of prescription drugs from Canada for up to 90 days. It also provides major disaster relief and safety grants, protects pregnant people in custody, and requires monthly reports on border security and detention conditions.

US

This bill sets stricter rules for complaints against police and correctional officers in Florida. Most complaints must be written and signed under oath, unless backed by other evidence. Officers must get a copy of the complaint before questioning or discipline, and can't be suspended, demoted, or fired without it. Non-disciplinary investigations can't affect promotions or raises. False complaints face penalties, and case details stay confidential until a final decision is made. The bill also mandates life without parole for manslaughter of a law enforcement officer acting in their official capacity.

FL

This bill lets Florida officials officially label groups as domestic or foreign terrorist organizations. It becomes a crime to help or join these groups, and no public money can support them. Private schools with state scholarships must break ties or lose funding. Colleges can’t use funds to support these groups, must report visa students who promote them, and may expel those students, ending their aid and in-state tuition. Courts can't apply foreign or religious law if it violates constitutional rights.

FL

This bill lets the state, not local airport boards, decide the names of Florida’s major commercial airports. It sets official names, including renaming West Palm Beach’s airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport. The Department of Transportation (DOT) must check airport status each year and tell lawmakers about changes. Names stay even if an airport gets smaller. All government records made after July 1, 2026 must use these names. Expect clearer branding and some costs to update signs, maps, and websites.

FL

This bill requires voters to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship—such as a birth certificate, passport, or other government-issued documents—when registering to vote. States must use government databases to check citizenship, notify and remove flagged noncitizens unless proof is provided. For voting in federal elections, all voters must present a photo ID in person. When voting by mail, voters must send copies of both a photo ID and proof of citizenship, unless their citizenship has already been confirmed. If citizenship isn’t confirmed by Election Day, voters can cast a provisional ballot that is only counted if citizenship is later verified. Election officials who don’t enforce these rules may face penalties.

US

This bill would create a 90-day quiet period before all primary and general elections for large voter roll cleanups, preventing systematic removals of ineligible voters within this timeframe, expanding the restriction from just federal to all elections. Exceptions allow removals for death, felony, mental incapacity, voter request, or corrections as allowed by law. The bill also extends the registrar’s window to act on removal notices from 30 to 60 days and gives flagged voters 28 days (up from 14 days) to respond to citizenship status notices.

VA

This bill would eliminate the rule that absentee ballots must arrive by the Friday before Election Day in order for voters to correct errors with their ballots. Instead, any voter could fix mistakes on their absentee ballot, as long as it was received before polls closed on Election Day. Registrars must notify voters promptly of problems. The deadline to fix errors moves from noon on the third day after the election to noon on the Monday after Election Day. Ballots won’t be rejected for a missing middle initial or date on the affirmation.

VA

This bill removes the ban on accepting property and services from private individuals or nongovernmental groups to support voter education, outreach, registration, or other election-related expenses. However, if the donation is money or a grant greater than $1,000, the election office may only accept it if a two-thirds majority of the State Board of Elections or the local governing body approves. The bill aims to allow more flexibility in receiving private support for elections while adding oversight for larger financial contributions.

VA

This bill would require every voter to show a government-issued photo ID at the polls and provide official proof of U.S. citizenship to register. It calls for frequent updates to voter rolls to remove ineligible voters, bans ranked-choice voting (RCV), and stops states from automatically sending mail ballots. Voters would have to request mail ballots, which are tracked by barcode and must be returned by the time polls close, with new limits on third-party collection. All voting must use paper ballots, with funding for audits. The bill also requires sharing data to flag noncitizens, marks citizenship on IDs, and limits federal agency voter drives.
