Sets a 10% annual interest cap on credit cards, counting all finance charges. Stops lenders from dodging the cap with extra fees; total fees can’t be more than finance charges. If a lender breaks the rule, they must forfeit interest and people can sue within 2 years to get it back. Stricter state limits still apply. The cap ends Jan 1, 2031 unless renewed. Likely effects: lower card costs and debt for many, but some banks may cut credit lines, raise standards, or reduce rewards.

Federal

The FAST VETS Act updates how the VA changes veterans' job training plans. After a review, the VA will rebuild a plan only when a veteran's limits have changed and a new plan is more likely to meet long-term job goals. If a change would not help, the VA can deny it. This aims to speed decisions, focus training on what works, reduce waste, and help veterans find steady work sooner, though some may see fewer plan updates.

Federal

This bill sets new rules for retirement plans. Managers must pick investments only for financial risk and return; social goals can be used only as a documented tie-breaker, and such funds can’t be the default. Plans must choose vendors without regard to race, sex, religion, or national origin. Proxy voting must put economics first with records and oversight. People using self-directed brokerage windows must get clear risk and fee notices.

Federal

This resolution would stop a new CMS rule for Affordable Care Act marketplaces. If it passes, the rule is canceled and current rules stay in place for enrollment, subsidies, and oversight. Planned changes to tighten integrity checks, reduce fraud, or adjust affordability would not happen. Consumers, insurers, and brokers would keep using the existing system without new requirements on HealthCare.gov or state exchanges.

Federal

Sets 2026 funding for commerce, justice, science, energy, water and interior. Impacts: more support for police, immigration courts and crime victims; major investments in NASA, NSF and NOAA; help for trade, patents and small firms. Builds and repairs dams, ports and flood control; improves water supplies and drought response. Strengthens the grid backs clean and nuclear energy, cleans up waste. Protects lands and wildlife, speeds disaster aid, limits China ties, and shields state medical marijuana programs.

Federal

Updates health policy. Dental loan aid targets dentists and hygienists who treat low-income patients in federal shortage areas and volunteer 25 hours a year. Medical marijuana sites must be 500 feet from parks, child care, early learning sites, and schools unless local officials approve a dispensary; existing sites may stay. It strengthens doctor training, streamlines Early Steps transitions, suspends licenses if providers are arrested for murder, and creates a free autism micro-credential with stipends.

Florida

Requires public K-12 schools to include severe bleeding response in emergency plans. By July 1, 2028, schools must keep clearly marked bleeding control kits on campus, in numbers set by the Department of Education. Selected staff must be trained, and drills must practice using the kits. Kits must be restocked after use. Effective July 1, 2026. This improves school safety by enabling quick first aid while waiting for paramedics.

Florida

Creates a state Antisemitism Task Force to study and fight antisemitism. Members include lawmakers, state officials, Jewish community leaders, educators, police and prosecutors. It will map how common antisemitism is, advise police training, assess media literacy teaching, review hate‑crime laws, and recommend policies. It will also build ties between local governments and Jewish communities. Meets quarterly, reports yearly, first on schools and universities. Ends in 2029 unless renewed.

Florida

Raises standards for Florida nursing schools. The Board of Nursing can deny or revoke programs tied to problems in other states or past failing owners. Programs must report more data, post exit exam results, support at-risk students, and missing reports can trigger termination. Low licensure pass rates mean faster probation with no extensions; very low rates require tuition refunds. Probationary schools must disclose status and fund remediation. Health staff may inspect programs. Expect fewer weak programs and better-prepared nurses.

Florida

Starting July 1, 2026, all private employers in Florida must use the federal E-Verify system to check if new hires can work in the U.S. This expands the current rule from larger employers to every business. Employers must also certify each year on their first unemployment tax filing that they followed the rule. Effects: more consistent hiring checks, fewer unauthorized workers hired, added paperwork and costs for small businesses, and possible hiring delays.

Florida

This bill lets landowners label property as former phosphate mines in county records. The health department must check these sites for gamma radiation when owners ask and share results. People who sue over mining pollution must include a certified radiation survey with their lawsuit. If the issue is a natural substance on a recorded former mine that has been surveyed, owners can use that as a defense. This adds transparency, sets proof rules, and may limit some claims.

Florida

This bill sends all brine shrimp royalty money to the Sovereign Lands fund instead of the Species Protection fund. $125,000 will be spent as the Great Salt Lake Advisory Council directs, and the rest must help the lake by leasing water to raise levels or funding brine shrimp health projects. This shifts money from general species work to targeted Great Salt Lake needs, aiming to protect wildlife, jobs, and recreation tied to the lake. Takes effect July 1, 2026.

Utah

Websites where over one-third of content is adult sexual material must verify users are 18 using digital ID, government ID, or trusted data checks. Sites and vendors cannot keep identifying info. They must post health warnings and a federal helpline. News outlets, ISPs, search engines, and cloud hosts are exempt. The attorney general can sue and fine up to $10,000 per day, $10,000 per data-retention incident, and up to $250,000 if minors gain access. Goal: reduce youth exposure.

Washington

Creates the PreK Promise account to boost Washington’s state preschool program. The state can take private gifts and grants, track them by donor and spend them on eligible children without waiting for a separate budget vote. Money stays in the account from year to year and earns investment income. This can add preschool slots faster, stabilize funding, and give communities and businesses a clear way to support early learning.

Washington

Requires larger Washington cities and counties to allow homes in commercial and mixed-use zones. They can't force ground-floor retail or extra special permits for housing in those areas. More apartments and condos could be built near jobs and shops, speeding approvals and lowering costs. Exceptions apply near refineries in heavy industry, historic sites, critical environmental areas, shorelines, and outside urban growth areas. After one year, state rules override conflicting local codes.

Washington

Makes it a federal crime to perform surgeries, give puberty blockers, or give cross-sex hormones to change a minor's sex. Punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Also criminalizes helping or transporting a child for female genital cutting. Religion or custom is not a defense. Minors are not prosecuted. Only narrow medical exceptions apply; mental health alone doesn't count. Would sharply reduce gender-related care for youth and put doctors and some parents at legal risk.

Federal

This constitutional amendment would enshrine in the state constitution that marriage is one of the vital personal rights between two adults. Particularly, it states this Commonwealth shall not deny the issuance of a marriage license to two adults seeking a lawful marriage on the basis of the sex, gender, or race of such persons, effectively removing the ban on same-sex marriage. It also states any lawful marriage between two adult persons shall be treated equally under the law.

Virginia

This constitutional amendment allows the General Assembly to adjust congressional districts only between 2025 and 2030 and only if another state changes its district maps mid-decade for non-census, non-court reasons. It keeps existing requirements for districts to be contiguous, compact, population-based, and protect minority voters. Redistricting laws take effect immediately and apply to the next election, with incumbents serving out their terms in their original districts.

Virginia

This constitutional amendment would enshrine in the state constitution that every person who meets age, residency, and registration requirements has the right to vote in Virginia. Particularly, it would automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions, as long as they are not currently incarcerated, with no action needed. The only other people who can be excluded from voting are those declared mentally incompetent by a court. This would add many voters and reduce barriers for returning citizens.

Virginia

This constitutional amendment would add to the state constitution that every individual has the fundamental right to reproductive freedom. This right can’t be limited unless justified by a serious reason and achieved by the least restrictive means. The amendment specifies that the Commonwealth may regulate the provision of abortion care in the third trimester, but it can’t be banned if a doctor says it’s needed to protect the pregnant person’s physical or mental health or if the fetus isn’t viable.

Virginia

The bill restricts services for people in Florida who are not legally in the U.S. Agencies may not license them or give homebuying aid; improper aid must be repaid and can trigger foreclosure. Adults without legal status can't collect certain state claims. Employers face big fines, license loss, full medical costs, and a felony if hiring over 50; E-Verify is required before workers' comp claims. Banks and money senders must verify status. In crashes, some out-of-state drivers are presumed at fault.

Florida

Lets cities, counties, school, fire, and port districts adopt ranked choice voting (RCV) to boost fair representation. They must choose by 2032 and implement within two years; once adopted, they can keep it. Single-winner races use a top-five primary; multi-seat RCV has no primary. The state sets rules and ballot standards. Local governments fund upgrades and broad voter education. Updates tie-breaking and ballot order. Some limits for multi-county races. Takes effect now.

Washington

Expands the state Voting Rights Act to cover voter suppression and vote dilution. Bars voting rules that put heavier burdens on racial or language minorities, and lawsuits don’t need proof of intent. Local governments may switch to district elections or other fixes, with court review and a 4-year safe harbor. Allows coalition claims, requires outreach in other languages, transparency, and fast court relief. Community groups can recover costs. Small towns and small school districts are exempt.

Washington

The bill makes bail bond insurers, including out-of-state and foreign companies, follow stricter reporting to Florida’s insurance office. They must keep accurate records of all money paid for bonds and disclose, by state, total premiums, taxes owed, money kept by agents, and how much they count as bail bond premiums in official reports. Reports must count at least 6.5% of what customers pay as premium. This improves transparency, state oversight, and fair tax collection.

Florida

SB 752 ends state taxes on home purchase paperwork for first-time, moderate-income buyers when they buy a primary home. A first-time buyer is someone who has not owned a home in the past three years. This lowers closing costs, making it easier to afford a first house and build stability. It could increase home sales and help younger families, but would reduce state revenue. Takes effect July 1, 2026.

Florida

SB 626 updates the shots students must have to attend school. It adds chickenpox, Hib, and pneumococcal vaccines to the existing list. The health department keeps authority to set rules and allow exemptions. Shots are available free at county health departments. Families may need to get kids up to date before enrollment, and schools will check records. The goal is to prevent outbreaks and keep classrooms safer.

Florida

Sets clear rules for handing power to a new Governor. Requires a transition liaison in the Governor’s office and in each state agency. Agencies must prepare briefing books, give access to top staff, and provide temporary office space. The Governor‑elect can see agency records and use IT systems after signing a promise to protect private data; illegal leaks are a crime. The state also provides email, collaboration tools, cybersecurity training, and tech help.

Florida

This is the legislative vehicle that would allow for the Affordable Care Act extended tax credits to be continued, lowering health insurance rates. Creates a 2026 congressional time capsule. Speeds federal reimbursements to local fire crews. Extends Udall Foundation funding. Orders a U.S. strategy against Boko Haram and a report on China financial risks. Strengthens veteran services, courts, life insurance, and refunds wrongly taxed severance. Studies TSA commute pay. Bans data brokers from sending Americans’ sensitive data to foreign adversaries. Requires U.S.-made flags. Adds funds and sets House oversight.

Federal

This bill adds Osceola Camp in Everglades National Park to the Miccosukee Reserved Area and requires public maps showing the change. It orders the federal government to work with the Miccosukee Tribe to protect buildings there from flooding within two years. The policy boosts Tribal stewardship, protects homes and cultural sites, and improves flood safety, with little effect on other park visitors.

Federal

The bill changes how the Arkansas Valley Conduit in Colorado is paid for. Local partners must cover 35% of the cost, using non-federal funds and project revenue. If they show financial hardship, they can repay the rest over up to 75 years at a simple interest rate set at half the U.S. Treasury rate. Local partners will run and maintain the pipeline. This aims to cut costs, speed construction, and bring safe, reliable drinking water to underserved communities.
