State Reapportionment (HJR 23D)
0
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.

Establishing the Congressional Districts of the State (HB 1D)
0
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.

Require Insurers to Count All Payments Toward Prescription Drug Co-Pays (SB 914)
0
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.

Repeals and Updates Certain Firearm and Weapon Laws (SB 406)
0
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.

Require Hotels to Post Human Trafficking Hotline Information (SB 481)
0
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.

Labor Fair Practices: Prohibiting Employers from Asking About Pay or Credit History (SB 145)
0
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.

Ending Penalties for Minors Using or Buying Tobacco or Nicotine Products (SB 463)
0
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.

Prohibiting Mandatory Overtime for Nurses in Hospitals Except in Emergencies (SB296)

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.

Improving Rules for Substance Use Disorder Treatment Programs (SB398)
0
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.

Rollback Individual Income Tax Rate to 4.05 Percent and Ensure It Stays Permanent (HB4170)
0
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.

Expand Guardianship Assistance Eligibility for Children (HB4697)

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.

Renewable Energy Equipment Valuation and Depreciation (HB2918)
0
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.

Internet Access to Voter Registration Rolls (SB1040)

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.

Ban Use of Electronic Voting Systems with Certain Parts or Equipment (HB4720)
0
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.

Cast Vote Record as Public Record (SB1038)
0
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.

Impeaching Peter B. Hegseth Secretary of Defense for High Crimes and Misdemeanors (HRES1177)
0
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.

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.

To Require the Secretary of Homeland Security to Designate Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) (HR1689)
94
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.

FENCES Act (HR6409)

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.

To Amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to Extend Authorities Through 2027 (HR8035)
0
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.

Consumer Protection and Regulation of Telemarketing and Advertising (SB351)

This bill would tighten telemarketing rules in Michigan by banning most sales robocalls, blocking calls to people on the Do-Not-Call Registry, and prohibiting misleading caller ID. Telemarketers must clearly identify themselves and disclose all costs and conditions. The bill protects vulnerable groups like seniors and people with disabilities, and restricts marketing calls to emergency services, hospitals, schools, and government offices. Violators can face large fines, and both the Michigan Attorney General and consumers have the right to take legal action. The law takes effect only if related bills are also passed.

This bill would require any private group or individual giving money, goods, or services to help run Michigan elections to publicly certify with the Secretary of State whether they receive foreign support. Certifications must be signed under penalty of perjury, renewed annually, and updated if anything changes. Local governments must report all outside election help quarterly. The Secretary of State will post certifications online, audit reports, and enforce the law. Knowingly filing false or outdated certifications could lead to criminal fines or jail time.

This bill reauthorizes a section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for four years, extending key foreign intelligence collection authority through April 20, 2030. It introduces new safeguards limiting warrantless queries involving U.S. persons, enhances privacy protections for digital data and car data, and increases court oversight. The bill expands the use of independent amici curiae—neutral legal experts advising the court on privacy and civil liberties. It also increases transparency through detailed public reporting requirements and addresses issues like data retention and reverse targeting, seeking to balance national security with personal privacy protections.

Lawful Presence Verification for Public Programs (HB2806)
0
This bill proposes that Arizona agencies must use a federal government system to verify whether someone is a U.S. citizen or has legal immigration status before allowing them to register to vote, receive a driver’s license or state ID, or qualify for certain public health benefits. The specific system mentioned is the “Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements” (SAVE) program, run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This means that state and county officials would need to check every applicant’s status against federal records as part of their application process.

Inactive voters who confirm their residency at the polls are allowed to vote and are returned to active status after the election.
