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.

US

This bill sets additional limits on how Washington government agencies can use automated license plate readers (ALPRs). It would allow finding stolen cars, missing persons, investigating felonies, and managing parking, tolls, traffic studies, and truck regulations. It bans use of ALPRs for immigration enforcement; health care surveillance; First Amendment activities; or monitoring sensitive locations such as schools, clinics, courts, places of worship, and food banks; and prohibits agencies from stopping vehicles based solely on an ALPR alert. The bill requires most ALPR data to be deleted within 21 days. Agencies must register their ALPR systems, adopt privacy policies, maintain detailed logs, undergo regular audits, and publish public reports, while any misuse of ALPR data can result in criminal penalties and lawsuits.

WA

This bill would enter Virginia into the National Popular Vote (NPV) Compact, an agreement where participating states pledge to award their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the most popular votes nationwide. The compact takes effect once enough states join to hold a majority of electoral votes. States may withdraw, but not within six months of a presidential term’s end. The bill sets procedures for appointing electors under both the compact and traditional rules.

VA

This resolution impeaches Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem, accusing her of blocking Congress from visiting detention sites, holding back aid money, ordering warrantless and violent ICE raids, and steering contracts to allies. If the House passes it, the Senate holds a trial. If convicted, she is removed.

US

This bill expands help for veterans in school and work. Colleges can use non-VA staff for on-campus counseling. Disabled veterans in VA job programs may take non-degree flight training starting Aug 1, 2026. VA must add a dedicated phone line and list local contacts for these services. Extension requests must be decided in 30 days, with yearly reports. It also extends limits on certain pension payments to July 31, 2033.

US

Ensures families get VA pension money approved before a veteran's death. If payment arrives after death, it goes to the spouse, then children, then dependent parents, or the estate (unless the estate would go to the state). If no one files within one year, it goes to the estate. Applies to deaths after the law begins. Also extends a current limit on some pension payments by one month, to Feb 28, 2033. This helps survivors receive money the veteran earned and clarifies who gets paid.

US

This bill requires cities/counties to allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs)—small, secondary homes located on the same lot as a primary single-family home—in single-family zones, by Dec 1, 2026. It removes owner-occupancy and extra parking requirements, and lets landlords accept reusable tenant screening reports without charging extra fees. Owners keep their homestead exemption even if renting ADUs; rented ADUs are taxed separately. Local governments can offer incentives for affordable housing donations, like "density bonuses." The bill also calls for a study on using tiny homes and new finance options, like second loans, to increase affordable housing.

FL

This bill would change Florida's official state flagship—a symbolic title given to a ship that represents the state's maritime heritage—from the schooner Western Union (a historic sailing vessel from Key West) to the S.S. American Victory, a World War II-era ship and museum in Tampa. The change honors veterans and the state's military history. Residents and visitors can learn about past wars and merchant mariners through exhibits and programs.

FL

This bill stops NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)—the agency that manages national marine sanctuaries—from requiring an extra permit for undersea fiber optic cables if another federal or state agency has already approved the work. This speeds up cable projects, lowers costs, and improves service, but may reduce sanctuary-specific reviews. NOAA can still coordinate with other agencies to protect ocean areas.

US

Creates a statewide Alzheimer’s awareness program run by a nonprofit group. It will provide a website and digital tools on early detection, lowering risks, brain health, screenings, research, clinical trials, and local resources. Uses broad advertising and a mobile outreach team focused on underserved areas, offering referrals. Works with the Health Department to train providers. An advisory panel checks results and recommends funding each year. Starts July 1, 2026.

FL

This bill lets most pari-mutuel (pooled betting at horse/dog tracks and jai alai) permit-holders stop holding live racing. Thoroughbred tracks with slots or card rooms must continue live racing until giving three years’ notice after July 1, 2027. Permits can be transferred or relocated with state approval, with some moves limited to the same county. The facility leasing radius expands to 50 miles, but relocated thoroughbred tracks can’t run card rooms at leased training centers. Some card room taxes are waived, penalties eased, and the state gets more power to appoint representatives to certain racing nonprofit boards.

FL

The bill tightens control over school books and materials. It defines harmful to minors and lets parents and county residents object to any classroom or library item or reading list. Items flagged as pornographic or harmful must be pulled within 5 school days, and literary or artistic value can’t be used to keep them. Non-parent residents may file one objection a month. The state can audit districts, require fixes, and withhold funds. Policies and forms must be easy to find online.

FL

This bill would add a 32% tax on smartphones and wireless devices bought for kids and teens under 18 years old in Michigan. Basic phones that only make calls would be excluded. The tax would be collected by the retailer when the device is bought, and all the money would go into a special fund to support children’s mental health and safety programs. Violations could result in penalties or fines for businesses that do not comply. Specific details would be set by the state if the bill passes.

MI

This bill adds electricity used by qualified commercial vehicles to Michigan's motor fuel tax system. Commercial users of these electric vehicles (EVs) must get a license (which costs $50), track miles driven in Michigan, and pay a per-mile tax based on their electricity use, similar to diesel and gas trucks. The tax applies only to qualified commercial vehicles, typically larger commercial vehicles such as electric semi-trucks, road tractors, or large delivery trucks, and replaces other state or local taxes on that electricity. All personal EVs and most small, light-duty commercial vehicles are not subject to this tax. It aims to fund roads and treat fuel types more equally.

MI

This bill sets statewide standards for online learning. Grades 6–12 students may take up to 2 online courses per term (more with approval), with certified teachers and mentors. Schools must list available courses and link to the statewide catalog. Passing a virtual course earns normal credit. Parental consent is needed if a minor takes a virtual course over 15 days. Districts pay capped costs and provide tech; parents cover extra costs. Denials can be appealed. College-run online classes grant college credit.

MI

This bill creates a grant program to help fast-growing Utah school districts manage rising enrollment and reduce overcrowding. The State Board of Education will rank districts by their share of statewide growth and award portions of a $15 million fund. Money can be used for one-time needs like buying land, constructing or renovating schools, and improving bus service, but not for salaries or everyday expenses. New or reorganized districts receive special consideration in the funding formula. Districts must apply, report on their progress, and repay any misused funds.

UT

This bill would require most voters who receive a mailed ballot to return it in person at a polling place with valid voter ID. Exceptions are provided for voters who are overseas, in the military, or who have applied to return a ballot by mail for legal reasons. It also sets requirements for the number and hours of ballot drop boxes and requires that drop boxes be attended by at least two poll workers. The bill updates election forms and procedures, includes provisions for tracking ballots, and specifies what personal information must be redacted from political disclosure reports, with penalties for improper disclosure. Starting in 2029, mail ballots will only be sent to voters who request them.

UT

This bill makes major changes to Utah elections. Starting in 2028, only voters with official proof of U.S. citizenship can vote in all races; others are limited to vote only in federal elections. Officials may verify citizenship and notify voters missing documentation, with a process to dispute errors. Mail-in ballots require stricter ID checks. Many voter records become public unless “at-risk” protection is requested, with new limits, penalties, and a $200 cap on voter list fees. It shifts midterm legislative vacancy appointments from the legislator’s current party to the party they belonged to at their last election, and allows candidates to use campaign funds for security.

UT

This bill would create a tax on individuals with more than $1 million in income, affecting less than 0.5% of Washington's population. Creates a 9.9% income tax starting in 2028 on individuals with Washington taxable income above $1,000,000. This subset of WA residents would pay the tax on all their income; while non WA residents would only be taxed on income earned from WA-based sources. Real estate gains and many family business sales are exempt. This new tax would fund K–12, healthcare, expand the Working Families Tax Credit, and would end sales tax on basic hygiene items for everyone. It would boost small-businesses with B&O (Business and Occupation) tax relief and include 5% funding for county public defense.

WA

This bill updates and makes permanent the 2020 pilot program allowing localities to use ranked choice voting (RCV) for elections for local governing bodies, also expanding eligibility to town councils. The State Board of Elections must quickly determine practicality, set rules, approve software, and publish voter education. An opt-out provision allows localities to back out if it is determined they cannot technically conduct RCV. The bill codifies best practices for RCV elections and directs the Department of Elections to develop a framework to certify any required election technology.

VA

This bill legalizes recreational marijuana in Virginia and sets rules for retail sales, including cultivation, processing, and tracking under state regulation. It limits THC in edibles, requires health and safety labels, and enforces record-keeping. The bill supports those most affected by past marijuana laws with license access, business loans, and lower fees. The Virginia Cannabis Control Authority will oversee tracking, license numbers, and support for small businesses and social equity applicants. A commission will study on-site use and event sales. Penalties are set for violations, with possible financial impacts from sentencing changes.

VA

This amendment to the WA State Constitution would establish a right to affordable health care for every resident of the state. The amendment declares it is the policy of the state to ensure that all WA residents have access to health care that is affordable. It tasks the legislature with creating laws and taking actions to implement and define this right, including determining what “affordable” means. The amendment does not automatically require the state to pay for all healthcare in all circumstances. Needs two-thirds majority in legislature for the amendment to go before voters for approval.

WA

This bill prevents companies and groups from getting Utah contracts or state grants if they campaign for candidates or ballot issues, engage in more than minimal lobbying, or primarily exist to advocate for new laws. Current and prospective contractors and grantees may not give political donations during the deal or grant period. Violators lose funds and contracts, can be barred from future deals, and must repay grants. Agencies must report repayments. Personal speech, nonpartisan voter education, and personal political donations or contributions are allowed.

UT

This bill changes how Utah approves and challenges requests to use public water (called water rights). People, businesses, or organizations can object to a new water right application, but only for certain legal reasons—like if there isn’t enough water available, if it would harm someone else’s existing water right, or if the application isn’t clear. Broader concerns are handled by other agencies. The bill also updates rules for temporary water use, saved water, and says rights are lost after 7 years of nonuse. Only those directly affected can sue.

UT

This bill creates statewide consumer privacy rights. People can see, correct, delete, and download their data, and opt out of targeted ads, data sales, and automated decisions. Companies must get consent for sensitive data, limit collection and retention, post clear privacy notices, and honor a universal opt-out signal. Data brokers must register. Ads and data sales to minors are banned. Geofencing, involving tracking and collecting data on individuals within a certain area, is barred near mental and reproductive health clinics. The Attorney General can fine violators.

MI

SB 23 allows local governments to approve more land splits than state law currently permits. For the first 10 acres, owners can create up to 4 lots for one year, then up to 10 lots after that if the local government agrees. Larger parcels can be divided further if certain conditions are met, such as keeping a large portion intact or avoiding new driveways on main roads. The bill aims to give landowners and local governments more flexibility, potentially increasing housing options.

MI

This bill requires Utah agencies to verify immigration status for all adults applying for state or local benefits—including immunizations and communicable disease testing. Those who cannot prove lawful status are denied these services. False claims face penalties. Public employees who skip checks can be charged, sued, or removed. Agencies must keep records, report denials, conduct audits, and state auditors may review compliance. The bill also ends an alternative CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) eligibility option two years earlier.

UT

This bill pauses local approval of new data centers. Cities and counties could not finish zoning or site plan approvals until all current data centers waiting for electric hookups are served, or until July 1, 2028, whichever comes first. It aims to ease strain on the power grid and give utilities time to expand.

VA

This bill would ban Arizona governments, including public schools and local agencies, from requiring masks or any vaccines. It adds that the federal government can’t mandate them in the state. Businesses may not require any vaccination or masks to enter or work (with safety exceptions). Long-standing workplace safety mask rules can remain, and government-run hospitals may still require vaccines for employees. Effectively, this bill would end school and job vaccine mandates.
