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.

Federal

This bill orders the President to remove U.S. troops from fighting in or against Venezuela unless Congress clearly approves it. It restates that Congress decides on war. U.S. forces can still act in true self-defense if an attack is imminent. Impact: lowers the chance of an unauthorized war, reduces risks to troops and costs to taxpayers, and presses leaders to debate and use diplomacy before using force.

Federal

Provides 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave for Florida career service employees after a birth or adoption. Workers keep earning benefits during leave and don’t have to use vacation or sick time for those 12 weeks. The state can’t fire them for pregnancy or adoption, deny the leave, or force them to take leave. Employees may take up to 6 months of unpaid parental or family medical leave and must be returned to the same or an equivalent job. This eases family care and helps retain public workers.

Florida

This bill bans gay and trans panic defenses in criminal cases. A nonviolent sexual advance, or beliefs about someone's sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity, cannot be used to excuse justify, or reduce a sentence. Courts must judge actions, not bias. The change protects LGBTQ people, supports equal justice, and helps prevent bias-based violence. Takes effect July 1, 2026.

Florida

Expands public-private partnerships to fight flooding and sea level rise. The Department of Environmental Protection alone will choose and run coastal projects like seawalls, drainage upgrades, natural barriers, and buying at-risk properties. It speeds permits, allows revenue sharing to attract investors, and trains local workers. Requires public input, biennial progress reports, and a real-time dashboard to track progress and protect communities.

Florida

Sets statewide rules for police lineups to make eyewitness IDs more reliable. Officers must record the witness's first description, have evidence to include a suspect and can't rely only on facial recognition. Lineups must use similar non-suspects, be run by neutral methods, and are favored over show-ups or first-time in-court IDs. Witnesses get standard instructions and must state confidence. All procedures are audio/video recorded. Lawyers may observe. Aims to cut bad IDs and wrongful convictions.

Florida

Hospitals and doctors may not discriminate based on vaccination status. For minors, providers must explain vaccine risks and benefits, get a parent signature, and offer slower schedules. Pharmacists may sell ivermectin without a prescription, with immunity if acting in good faith. Parents may exempt kids from school health exams and shots on conscience grounds; the health department must post an online form. Vaccines aren't counted as treatment in emergencies.

Florida

HB 93 would require hospitals and surgery centers to use smoke evacuation equipment during procedures that create surgical smoke. By Jan. 1, 2027, they must adopt and follow policies to use these systems. This change aims to protect doctors, nurses, and patients from harmful fumes, improving air quality in operating rooms and reducing eye and breathing risks. Facilities may face costs for equipment and training, but it sets a clear safety standard statewide.

Florida

Washington would require students to complete financial education to graduate. Schools must offer instruction aligned with the Washington State Financial Education Learning Standards by 2029. Students are required to meet those standards starting with the class of 2033, or earlier if set by the State Board of Education. The board will define credit or test-out options and monitor compliance. Districts must notify families by 2027–28. Waivers may be granted to seniors new to Washington.

Washington

This bill increases parental control over minors’ health care and school data by requiring parental consent for STD treatment, most medical services, and the use of biofeedback devices or DNA/blood records. The bill narrows minors’ ability to seek mental health and substance use care without parental involvement and repeals direct access to outpatient crisis intervention services. In schools, parents must be given advance copies of K-12 questionnaires, must give permission for student participation, and have the right to opt their child out. Providers who do not follow these consent requirements may face penalties.

Florida

Caps what patients pay for diabetes care. Insurers in Florida cannot charge more than $35 for a 30-day supply of insulin, and no more than $100 for 30 days of diabetes supplies like test strips, glucometers, continuous monitors, lancets, and syringes, no matter the brand or amount. Applies to most health plans issued, renewed, or changed on or after Jan 1, 2027. Takes effect July 1, 2026. Lowers out-of-pocket costs and improves access.
