State Legislature Bills

Requires independent civilian review of serious police use-of-force incidents, anonymized public reporting, and safeguards for due process, privacy, and criminal investigations. It also offers competitive grants for oversight, training, transparency, and officer-support programs.

Creates a state-backed revolving loan and technical-assistance program offering low-interest financing to rural Iowa small businesses for modernization, efficiency, and job retention or creation, subject to appropriations and public reporting.

The bill broadly calls for clearer family-policy standards, transparent reporting, and accountable implementation across Minnesota, but provides no specific policies, requirements, or enforcement mechanisms.

Creates a two-year, $180 million capped state fund competitively matching local spending on drainage, detention, and voluntary property buyouts in repeatedly flooded ZIP codes. Projects require at least a 50% local share, public scoring, limited overhead, and legislative reauthorization to continue.

The bill expands career and technical education in North Carolina high schools through partnerships with community colleges, employers, and workforce boards, offering credentials, dual enrollment, and supervised work experience while retaining core academics and tracking outcomes.

Creates targeted, performance-based tax credits for manufacturers and skilled-trades employers investing in former industrial communities, with incentives for apprenticeships and Pennsylvania suppliers. It also streamlines permit reviews while retaining environmental, health, and safety protections.

Requires Mississippi employers to use E-Verify for new hires and penalizes knowing employment of unauthorized workers after a final federal determination, while providing notice, appeal rights, and anti-discrimination protections.

The bill requires lawful-status checks for certain state-funded benefits while exempting emergency care, public health, disaster aid, K–12 education, and federally protected services. It also permits lawful federal coordination, protects personal data, and provides a process to correct verification errors.

The bill allocates $100 million over two years for clean-coal tax credits, worker training, research, infrastructure, and a new authority focused on preserving Eastern Kentucky jobs while maintaining environmental rules and reliable power.

The bill temporarily expands Nebraska income-tax deductions for essential equipment bought by locally owned small businesses, simplifies certification, and requires free guidance. The relief expires after three tax years unless renewed.
