Inflation-Adjusted Compensation for Elective State Officers (SCR 1020)
0
This proposed constitutional amendment would automatically adjust state legislators’ salaries each year for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), once voters approve a salary level. Pay would rise or fall annually with the cost of living, without new public votes. For other elected state officials, a commission could recommend salary changes, and the governor may submit these to the legislature—taking effect automatically unless specifically rejected or changed. The aim is to keep compensation current and avoid outdated salaries. If passed by the Legislature, it will appear on the 2026 general election ballot.

Prohibiting Foreign Contributions in Elections (SCR 1005)
0
This proposed constitutional amendment would ban foreign individuals, governments, or organizations outside the U.S. from contributing money, goods, or services to influence Arizona ballot measure campaigns. Committees must certify in financial reports that they have not accepted foreign contributions, with false statements considered perjury. Federally recognized U.S. tribal nations are exempt. “Foreign national” includes noncitizens, foreign governments and parties, and overseas entities. If passed by the Legislature, it will appear on the 2026 general election ballot. If voters approve, it would apply to future Arizona elections.

Make the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Act (HR 5103)
0
This bill would create a temporary program and commission for cleaning up Washington, D.C. and improving public safety. Federal and local officials would coordinate to remove graffiti, restore damaged monuments, and keep parks, streets, and transit areas clean. The commission would also work to reduce crime by increasing police presence, supporting police recruitment, and offering federal help to local law enforcement. Additionally, they would encourage stricter enforcement of federal immigration laws, monitor D.C.’s sanctuary policies, help the city’s crime lab, and speed up concealed carry permit processing. The program ends in early 2029, with annual reports to Congress.

Data Center Transparency Act (HR 6984)
0
This bill would require regular federal reports on how U.S. data centers impact water use, pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and electricity consumption. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would report every three months on water use, local water impacts, pollutants, and emissions, while the Energy Information Administration would report every six months on data center energy use by state and any effects on household energy bills. The aim is to provide clear, public information about the environmental effects of data centers and where they may strain local resources.

Home Team Act of 2026 (HR 8097)
0
This bill would make it harder for professional sports teams to leave their cities. Leagues could not block public or fan ownership. Before moving a team to another state or shutting it down, owners would have to give local governments, community groups, nonprofits, and local buyers a chance to buy it at a fair price, lowered to reflect past public stadium subsidies. It also requires a year’s notice and allows fines and lawsuits, helping protect local jobs, fans, and taxpayers.

Allow Cannabis Agency to Run Lab for Testing and Research on Marijuana (SB 704)
0
This bill would let Michigan’s cannabis regulatory agency create and operate its own marijuana testing lab. With this change, the agency could directly collect, transport, and analyze marijuana samples to support investigations, improve testing methods, and conduct research. The goal is to strengthen oversight of the cannabis industry and ensure product safety by allowing the state to double-check the work of private labs and respond quickly to concerns like contamination or mislabeling. The bill also includes safeguards to prevent conflicts of interest among agency staff.

Right To Refuse Medical Mandates (HCR 2056)
0
This proposed constitutional amendment would give Arizonans the constitutional right to refuse any government-mandated medical treatment or procedure, such as vaccines or implants. State and local agencies could not make jobs, schooling, public benefits, or access to places dependent on accepting these treatments. Exceptions include court-ordered treatment for those who are a danger to themselves or others, police custody, criminal investigations, parents’ rights for minors, emergency care, and existing federal or state requirements. If approved by the Legislature, it will appear on the 2026 general election ballot.

Prohibition of Preferential Treatment and Discrimination (HCR 2044)
0
This proposed constitutional amendment would ban public schools, colleges, and government agencies from giving special treatment or discriminating based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin. It would prohibit requiring support for race-based preferences or diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies for admission, hiring, or promotion, and block public funding for offices that promote such preferences. Exceptions include academic research, teaching history, health services, compliance with federal law, tribal programs, and required data collection. If approved by the Legislature, it would appear on the 2026 general election ballot.

Home Appliance Protection and Affordability Act (HR 4626)
0
This bill makes it more difficult for the federal government to tighten energy and water efficiency rules for home appliances. Any new or updated standards must be proven technologically workable, maintain product performance, and save consumers money within three years. The bill allows consumers and manufacturers to seek the repeal of costly standards and requires the Department of Energy to disclose meetings with certain advocacy groups, including those linked to the Chinese government. Additionally, it blocks the implementation of new efficiency standards for products like distribution transformers.

Regulating Credit Reports and Medical Debt Collection Practices (SB 451)
0
This bill aims to prevent Michigan residents from having most medical debt reported on their credit reports, except when the debt is tied to very large loans. Under this bill, debt collectors would not be allowed to threaten people with credit reporting over medical bills, unless it involves a significant loan amount. The bill also requires collectors to inform consumers in writing about these protections. If a person’s rights under this law are violated, they would be able to sue for damages and legal costs. This bill is designed to help people with medical debt maintain access to jobs, housing, credit, and insurance without being unfairly penalized for medical expenses.

Mental Health Hospitalization and Treatment Procedure Revisions (HB 4412)
0
This bill aims to change how Michigan handles treatment for people with serious mental illness. It makes it easier for courts, doctors, and police to require someone to receive hospital care or court-ordered outpatient treatment if they are at risk of harming themselves or others, or if they are unable to care for their basic needs. The bill broadens the types of mental health professionals who can be involved in the process, sets clear timelines for review, and gives courts stronger authority if a person stops following their treatment plan.

Ban on Production and Sale of Kratom (HB 5537)
0
This bill would prohibit the growing, manufacturing, and sale of kratom, a substance made from the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa plant, and any of its synthetic versions in Michigan. If someone is caught violating this law, they could be charged with a misdemeanor, facing up to 90 days in jail and a $5,000 fine for a first offense. Penalties increase for repeat offenses or for selling to minors, with up to a year in jail and higher fines if the buyer is under 18. The law would go into effect 90 days after it is enacted, requiring stores and suppliers to quickly remove kratom products from their shelves.

Ban on Certain Mortgage Lending Practices by Brokers and Lenders (HB 5497)
0
This bill updates Michigan’s mortgage lending rules. It bars lenders from rejecting or worsening home loan terms because of a neighborhood’s race, ethnicity, or the age of nearby buildings, and requires each application to be judged on real financial risk. Denied borrowers must get written reasons and key records. It also allows higher minimum loan sizes, adjusted for inflation, which could make small mortgages and repair loans harder to get.

Fix Our Forests Act (HR 471)
0
This bill seeks to improve forest health and reduce wildfire risk by expediting environmental reviews and accelerating management projects in high-risk “fireshed management areas.” It authorizes hazardous vegetation removal, fire break creation, reforestation, watershed protection, and provides grants for fire-resistant community practices. The bill promotes collaboration among government, tribal, and private groups, increases use of technology in wildfire management, supports firefighters’ families, enhances vegetation management near power lines, and modifies environmental and judicial review processes for certain federal land projects.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Pay Act of 2026 (S 4127)
0
This bill would keep Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees paid during a federal funding gap starting in February 2026, including back pay to cover the gap already begun. That would help airport security screening continue with fewer staffing problems, reduce travel delays and disruptions, and protect TSA workers and their families from missed paychecks. The funding ends when a new budget is passed or by Sept. 30, 2026.

Ballot Measure Circulators and Revenue Disclosure Requirements (HCR 2051)
0
This proposed constitutional amendment would require paid signature gatherers for Arizona initiative and referendum petitions to verbally disclose they are paid and state their home state to potential signers, and to wear a visible badge with this information. Signatures collected without these disclosures would be invalid. For city and county ballot measures involving new spending or funding allocations, petition sponsors would need to clearly state the cost and identify the source of funding for both immediate and future expenses. If approved by the Legislature, it would appear on the 2026 general election ballot.

Call for Convention for Congressional Term Limits (HCR 2043)
0
This resolution from the Arizona Legislature asks Congress to call a nationwide convention of states to propose a U.S. constitutional amendment limiting the number of terms members of the House and Senate can serve. While it does not create term limits by itself, it initiates the process for states to collaborate on this change. If enough states pass similar resolutions, Congress would be required to convene the convention. Arizona’s request applies only to conventions focused specifically on congressional term limits, and copies of the resolution are sent to relevant federal and state officials for awareness and support.

Precinct-Based Voting and Voting Center Restrictions (HCR 2016)
0
This proposed constitutional amendment would require most voters on Election Day to cast their ballots at their assigned neighborhood polling place, rather than at any countywide voting center. Counties would need to create smaller precincts, provide a polling site for each one—using schools or state buildings when possible—and take additional steps to reduce wait times. Early voting and emergency sites would still be available, and voters could update their addresses at those locations. While this approach could bring polling places closer to home, it would remove the flexibility to vote anywhere in the county on Election Day. If approved by the Legislature, it would appear on the 2026 general election ballot.

Public Resources Prohibited for Labor Organizations in Schools (HCR 2040)
0
This proposed constitutional amendment would bar Arizona school districts from using public funds or resources—including staff time, facilities, email systems, or payroll services—to support employee unions. Districts could not collect union dues via payroll, distribute union or political materials, provide paid leave for union business, or allow union activities during work hours. Teacher strikes would be banned, and all employment negotiations must follow these restrictions. Existing contracts allowing these practices would be overridden. If approved by the Legislature, it will appear on the 2026 general election ballot.

Prohibition of Photo Enforcement Systems (HCR 2004)
0
This proposed constitutional amendment would mostly ban traffic cameras used for speeding and red light tickets in Arizona. Cities or agencies could keep using cameras only if they have a contract signed by December 31, 2026, and local voters approve their use. If voters reject them, the cameras must be removed within 90 days. If approved, the cameras can operate for 10 years before requiring another public vote to continue, with this process repeating every decade. It moves traffic enforcement responsibility away from automated camera systems and private companies back to police officers. If approved by the Legislature, it would appear on the 2026 general election ballot.

Arizona Secure Elections Act (HCR 2001)
0
This proposed constitutional amendment would introduce new rules for elections in the state. It would require that only U.S. citizens can register and vote in Arizona elections, and all voters would need to show a government-issued photo ID every time they vote, whether in person or by mail. To receive a mail-in ballot, voters would have to provide documented proof of citizenship at registration and confirm their mailing address before each general election. The measure also bans foreign nationals from contributing or spending money to influence Arizona elections. Early voting would end at 7:00 p.m. on the Friday before Election Day, except that mail-in ballots sent through the U.S. Postal Service could be accepted until the polls close on Election Day. If approved by the Legislature, it would appear on the 2026 general election ballot as the “Arizona Secure Elections Act”.

Stop the Sexualization of Children Act (HR 7661)
0
This bill would prohibit the use of federal K-12 education funds for any programs, events, books, or materials provided to minors that contain sexually oriented material, including content involving nudity, stripping, lewd dancing, sexual acts, or discussions of gender dysphoria and transgender identity. The bill explicitly exempts standard science courses (such as biology and anatomy), studies of major world religions, and classic works of art and literature—defining these exceptions by reference to recognized published collections. If enacted, federally funded schools would be required to exclude or avoid materials and programming considered sexually explicit or related to transgender topics.

A Joint Resolution to Direct the Removal of United States Armed Forces from Hostilities in Cuba (SJRes 124)
0
This bill would require the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from any hostilities in or against Cuba unless Congress has specifically authorized such actions through a declaration of war or other legislation. It applies to all military branches, including the Coast Guard, and would prevent operations like blockades or military action around Cuba unless approved by Congress. The bill aims to ensure that any significant use of military force involving Cuba is first debated and authorized by lawmakers. However, it makes exceptions for self-defense if the U.S. faces an attack or urgent threat, and for ongoing legal counter-narcotics missions.

Special Election Boards Voter Registration Assistance (SB 1569)
0
This bill is designed to make voting easier for sick or disabled Arizona voters who can’t get to the polls. Special election board workers are already allowed to visit hospitals and care facilities to help these voters cast their ballots in person. The bill would also let these workers update the registration information—like a new address—of the specific voter they’re assigned to help, making sure the voter gets the correct ballot. There are strict rules: workers can only update registration for the voter they were sent to assist and cannot register new voters or update information for anyone else at the location.

Driver License Signature for Voter Registration (SB 1634)
0
This bill would update Arizona’s voter registration process through the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD). When someone registers or renews their voter registration while getting or renewing a driver license, the MVD must send a copy of the applicant’s handwritten signature to election officials within five days. The Secretary of State then forwards this signature to the appropriate county recorder. This ensures counties have an official signature on file to verify early ballot signatures and help prevent fraud. The bill also requires applicants to receive information about eligibility, penalties for false registration, and confidentiality policies.

Governing Body Election Canvass Access (SB 1392)
0
This bill gives local governing bodies that certify election results the right to access election sites and materials before the canvass. It allows them to observe operations at places like election headquarters, tabulation centers, storage facilities, and voter registration sites, and to review and copy documents with assistance from election officials. Access must not disrupt procedures or violate privacy or security rules, and bodies must follow all security and confidentiality requirements. Altering or removing materials is only allowed by law. If access is denied, they can seek relief in court or from the Attorney General. Violations are a Class 2 misdemeanor.

Public School Released Time for Religious Education (SB 1741)
0
This bill requires all Arizona public and charter schools to allow students, with written parental permission, to leave campus during school hours for off-site religious instruction lasting one to five hours per week. The organizations offering these classes must maintain attendance records, take responsibility for students while off campus, and ensure their instructors have qualifications comparable to regular school teachers. Schools are not responsible for transportation or costs related to these courses; those must be handled by the provider, student, or parents.

Public Schools Civics Instruction Requirement (SB 1572)
0
This bill would establish a “Celebrate Freedom Week” in all Arizona public schools. During this week, students in grades 1–12 would receive lessons on the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution (including the Bill of Rights), and their historical context. The curriculum would highlight how these documents relate to major American themes like immigration, the Revolution, abolition of slavery, and women’s suffrage. Students in grades 3–12 would recite a passage from the Declaration of Independence unless excused. Schools would also be prohibited from removing religious references from the founding documents during instruction.

Prohibit Certain Immigration Enforcement at Specific Locations (SB 508)
0
This bill would prevent law enforcement officers from carrying out immigration enforcement actions—such as arrests, interviews, searches, or surveillance—at sensitive places like schools, hospitals, places of worship, courthouses, funerals, weddings, and facilities serving vulnerable people, unless there is a court order or an immediate threat to public safety. The goal is to ensure that people can access essential services and participate in important life events without fear of immigration enforcement at these locations, except in urgent or legally authorized situations.

Water Conservation and Limits on Water Withdrawals (SB 761)
0
This bill would protect Michigan’s water by increasing state oversight of large users like factories, farms, bottling companies, and data centers. Anyone wanting to withdraw a significant amount of water or increase their usage would need a state permit. Before any major new withdrawals are approved, the public must be notified and given at least 45 days to comment. The state would only approve projects that use water efficiently, avoid harming streams and groundwater, and return most water to its original watershed. No company could permanently remove more than 2 million gallons of water per day from the local system.
