Community Associations (HB657)
58
This bill updates Florida’s rules for condo and homeowners’ associations (HOAs). Instead of requiring mediation first, conflicts between owners and associations would now go to state arbitration or a new Community Association Court. This court could enforce owner rights, fine or remove board members, appoint receivers, or dissolve associations if needed. HOAs must add a standard statement to their rules or let members vote on any rule changes. To dissolve an HOA, if 20% of homeowners petition, a vote must be held and at least two-thirds must agree; the court then reviews the process, ensures fair payouts after debts, and can penalize boards that try to block dissolution.

Products Liability for Firearms (HB1551)
40
This bill would limit when someone can sue a gun manufacturer in Florida for product liability. It states that firearm makers cannot be sued just because their guns do not have certain safety features—like magazine disconnects, loaded chamber indicators, special locks for authorized users, or manual safeties—unless those features are required by federal law. However, if a gun is actually defective or doesn’t work as promised, manufacturers could still be held responsible. The bill would take effect immediately if passed.

Artificial Intelligence Transparency Amendments (HB286)
This bill requires developers of frontier AI systems to publicly share detailed public safety and child protection plans explaining how they will identify and address major risks, before releasing new models. Developers must regularly publish summaries of their risk assessments and disclose risk management steps, including third-party evaluations. The bill prohibits false or misleading statements about AI risks, mandates prompt reporting of safety incidents to a new Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy, and provides whistleblower protections for employees who report safety concerns. Penalties are established for companies that violate these requirements.

Rulemaking Amendments (SB234)
50
This bill would prohibit Utah state agencies from setting pollution or waste regulations that are stricter than federal requirements. If no federal standard exists for a specific issue, any new state rule must be based on the best available science and clearly show a direct link between exposure and actual harm to human health. Exceptions include cases where stricter rules are federally mandated, site-specific needs, or emergencies. In practice, this bill limits Utah’s ability to adopt stronger environmental or waste protections than those established at the federal level.

District Court Amendments (HB392)
75
This bill changes how major civil lawsuits against the State of Utah or its officials are handled. In any case challenging the constitutionality of a Utah law, the Attorney General is guaranteed the right to participate. When a state agency or official is sued, the Attorney General, Governor, or Legislature can require the case to be decided by a randomly selected panel of three district court judges from different regions, instead of a single judge. Usual venue rules do not apply, and any decisions by these panels are appealed directly to the Utah Supreme Court, skipping the regular appeals court.

Unlicensed Driver Amendments (HB136)
50
This bill tightens Utah’s rules for unlicensed driving by requiring police to impound vehicles when drivers lack a license, permit, or driving privilege card and can’t be verified, with some exceptions. Officers may use fingerprinting to ID drivers, and agencies must have compatible equipment by 2028. Impound and testing fees rise to $600 and $60, repeat offenses become a class B misdemeanor, and owners who let unlicensed people drive face a $500 minimum fine. The bill also updates license checks, suspension rules, and requires fingerprinting technology to link with police and court databases.

Election Amendments (SB153)
33
This bill updates Utah’s election laws by changing the rules around voter registration privacy. After April 6, 2026, voter records that were previously private will become public unless voters apply for and are approved as at-risk. Election officials must notify affected voters so they can request continued privacy. The bill also lets voters choose whether to share their contact information with political parties, adds new requirements for keeping voter rolls accurate, increases penalties for misuse of voter data, requires warnings on petitions about potential disclosure of private information, and shifts responsibility for preparing voter materials on constitutional amendments to legislative staff.

Repealing the Existing Prohibition on Collective Bargaining Rights for Public Employees (HB1263)
100
This bill would allow all Virginia public employees to unionize and bargain statewide, repealing the current ban. It creates a Public Employee Relations Board to run union elections, resolve disputes, and enforce bargaining rules. Employers must bargain in good faith, provide employee contact information, allow union access, and process union dues. Strikes by public employees remain illegal, and negotiation deadlocks go to binding arbitration. The bill also establishes a new Home Care Authority to serve as the employer for Medicaid home care workers, fund their training, and support workforce stability, while clients retain control over hiring decisions.

Enhancing Administrative Reviews for Broadband Deployment Act (HR5419)
84
This bill requires the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture to identify and address delays in permitting broadband and wireless projects on public lands and national forests. The agencies must pinpoint barriers, suggest rule changes to streamline reviews, and develop strategies to prioritize and expedite applications. Within a year, they must report their findings and staffing plans to Congress, with the goal of speeding up broadband and cell coverage expansion in rural and underserved areas to support economic growth, education, telehealth, and public safety.

Housing for the 21st Century Act (HR6644)
79
This bill aims to make building homes faster and more affordable nationwide. It encourages cities and states to relax zoning rules, allow more housing options like accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and taller buildings, and streamline project reviews. Grants support planning and pre-approved designs, while updates to building codes and higher Federal Housing Administration (FHA) multifamily loan limits help modernize housing. The bill also boosts support for manufactured homes, small-dollar loans, and rural housing. Renters benefit from an eviction helpline, quicker inspections, and counseling. Lastly, the bill strengthens oversight and provides support for community banks to help increase the affordable housing supply.

Territorial Student Access to Higher Education Act (HR6472)
78
This bill would require all public colleges and universities receiving federal funding to offer in-state tuition rates to U.S. nationals from Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Residents of these territories could attend any public college in the U.S. at the same tuition rate as state residents. Schools must follow this rule to keep receiving federal student aid funds. The bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to make this a requirement, aiming to expand affordable college access for territorial students.

Increasing representation and voter participation in local elections (HB1448)
Allows cities, counties, school, fire, and port districts to use ranked choice voting (RCV). In single-seat races, a non-RCV primary narrows the field to five; in multi-seat RCV, no primary. Ballots let voters rank at least five choices. The state sets uniform counting rules and requires strong voter education, including multilingual and accessible materials. Local jurisdictions pay RCV costs. Aims to boost turnout, reduce spoilers, and broaden representation. Effective only if funded.

Stop Insider Trading Act (HR7008)
55
This bill would ban Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from buying new individual stocks while in office, aiming to prevent conflicts of interest and increase public trust. They would not be required to sell any stock they already own, but they would be obligated to publicly announce any plans to sell stocks 7-14 days in advance. They could still invest in mutual funds, small businesses, or use blind trusts. Breaking these rules would result in a fine of at least $2,000 or 10% of the transaction—whichever is greater—and the violator would forfeit any profits. Government or campaign funds couldn’t be used to pay fines. *On July 20, 2026, an amendment was passed by the House Rules Committee that incorporated a national voter ID requirement, a key aspect of the SAVE America Act (HR 7296), into this bill. That requirement would take effect 90 days after enactment and apply to both in-person and mail voting. NOTE: This amendment was not part of the bill when it was originally posted in the Voatz app.

Restore Trust in Congress Act (HR5106)
This bill would ban Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from owning or trading individual stocks or similar financial products while in office, aiming to reduce conflicts of interest and build public trust. Current members would have 180 days to sell these investments, and new members, or those who acquire stocks while in office, would have 90 days to divest. Investments in diversified mutual funds and government bonds are still allowed. There are limited exceptions for certain work situations and regulated family trusts. Violations would result in a 10% penalty and forfeiture of profits, with all penalties posted online for transparency.

Data Centers (SB484)
94
This bill sets new rules for large-scale data centers in Florida. Local governments keep zoning control and must address infrastructure and community impacts. Governments are banned from signing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that hide new data center sites from the public; violators can be fined. Data centers using over 100,000 gallons of water daily must submit conservation plans and use reclaimed water when possible. Large power users (50+ megawatts) must pay the full cost of their utilities, and utilities may cut power in emergencies. Utilities are also prohibited from serving data centers connected to certain foreign governments, and big projects must have public hearings.

Model for Assured Water Supply Certificates (SB1200)
75
This bill requires Arizona to re-examine certain water supply applications submitted for the Phoenix area between 2021 and 2023. These applications must be approved if older groundwater models show enough available water, even if newer, stricter models would have denied them. Water providers must also offer 25% of their excess groundwater each year as water credits that a regional water district can purchase, which could lower some local water fees. Any certificates granted through this process will be treated as if they were approved in 2023. The program starts immediately and will end in 2028.

Photo Radar Enforcement Civil Penalty Cap (SB1624)
73
This bill limits fines from photo radar tickets (for speeding or red light violations) to $75 and ensures these tickets won’t add points to your license, suspend or revoke your driving privileges, or be reported to the motor vehicle department. Insurance companies cannot raise your rates, cancel, or refuse to renew your policy because of these tickets. Only law enforcement, not private companies, can review camera evidence and decide if a ticket should be issued. If you get a violation notice in the mail, you do not have to identify the driver or respond, though ignoring it could result in official legal papers and added fees.

Legislative Subpoena Refusal and Contempt Procedures (HB2745)
55
This bill is designed to make it easier and faster for the Arizona Legislature to enforce subpoenas during investigations. Under this bill, if someone receives a subpoena from the Legislature, knows about it, and has the ability to comply but chooses not to, a legislative committee or the President of the Senate/Speaker of the House can—after giving the person notice and a chance to explain—declare them in contempt without needing a vote from the entire chamber. Once someone is found in contempt, the sergeant-at-arms can arrest them if there is a signed order or resolution.

Confidentiality for Artificial Intelligence Communications (HB2410)
80
This bill would create a new rule in Arizona that makes conversations with artificial intelligence (AI) confidential in the same way as private talks with licensed professionals like lawyers, doctors, or therapists. If you use an AI system to ask for advice—on legal, medical, mental health, or other sensitive topics—your discussions would be protected and generally could not be used as evidence in court cases, police investigations, or lawsuits. This means companies running AI systems would be required to keep these conversations private, much like professionals do with their clients.

Electronic Signature Collection Amendments (HB223)
43
This bill would update Utah’s petition process by gradually requiring more signatures to be collected electronically using secure devices that scan official IDs. From 2028, at least 10% of petition signatures must be electronic, rising to 50% by 2030, and by 2032 all signatures must be collected electronically—ending manual collection. The lieutenant governor may suspend these requirements if the electronic system is not functioning properly. The bill also sets security standards for these devices and requires annual reports on the system’s performance through 2031. No new funding is included, and the bill would take effect May 6, 2026.

Those who do not will only be able to vote in federal races, while those who provide proof can vote in all races. Election officials must check records for possible noncitizens, notify them, and remove them from the rolls if citizenship isn’t proven within 30 days. Voters can resolve issues or provide proof so their provisional ballots are counted before results are finalized. The bill also updates voter registration forms, ballots, and privacy rules.

Signature Gathering and Verification Amendments (HB32)
57
This bill updates Utah’s citizen-driven petition collecting process by standardizing verification forms, requiring signature gatherers to complete online training, and mandating that county clerks notify signers by email and text if their signatures are verified. The bill allows petitions to use a QR code to link to the full text of a proposed law, updates the format of signature sheets, and removes the option to provide an email address. It also ensures sponsors cannot obscure voter information and requires county clerks to keep petition packets for at least 22 months, while reporting statistics, instead of sending every packet to the lieutenant governor.

Official Actions of Local Governments (HB1001)
This bill would ban Florida counties and cities from funding, promoting, or taking official actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, offices, or officers, and would void all existing DEI-related policies. Officials who violate this could be removed from office, and residents could sue local governments for violations. Contractors and grant recipients must certify they will not use local funds for DEI training or materials. The bill includes exceptions for actions required by state or federal law, official holidays and observances, public safety services, and materials explaining anti-discrimination laws.

Specific Medical Diagnoses in Child Protective Investigations (HB47)
92
This bill changes how Florida investigates child abuse cases when certain medical conditions could explain injuries. The Department of Children and Families (DCF) may delay notifying law enforcement if a parent reports a diagnosis or requests a medical exam, but must notify police later if criminal activity is still suspected. Child protection teams must consult pediatric specialists for conditions like rickets or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Parents can seek second medical opinions, all medical professionals must provide written reports within five days, and DCF must meet with all parties if opinions differ. The bill also streamlines DCF’s access to medical records for thorough investigations.

Uterine Fibroid Research Database (SB196)
This bill would require doctors and hospitals in Florida to report cases of uterine fibroids—a common health issue for many women—to the state Department of Health. It updates the state’s research database so it can include personal details about patients diagnosed with or treated for uterine fibroids. The purpose is to help researchers and health officials track how common uterine fibroids are, improve public awareness, and guide decisions about healthcare resources. However, collecting personal information also raises privacy concerns for some patients.

Prohibition of Local Bans on Natural Gas Use or Infrastructure (HB4486)
60
This bill would make it illegal for local governments in Michigan to ban the use of natural gas or block the installation of new natural gas lines and equipment. If passed, people, builders, and businesses could continue to use natural gas appliances like stoves, furnaces, and water heaters, and could still connect new buildings to natural gas service. Any local rules that try to ban or limit natural gas use or infrastructure would no longer be valid, so energy options for homes and businesses would be set by a statewide rule instead of by individual cities or counties.

County Parks and Recreation Commission Membership Modifications (HB5317)
71
This bill updates who can serve on Michigan county parks and recreation commissions. Road and drain commissioners may appoint a staff substitute instead of always serving personally. Counties can have either the county executive (or a representative) or a planning board member serve, based on local structure. Starting in 2027, small counties (under 100,000 residents) may reduce appointed members from seven to four. Mid-sized counties (750,000 to 1,000,000 residents) must add a member who lives near the busiest park, giving local residents more voice. Members serve staggered three-year terms, and county boards remain in control.
