State Legislature Bills

The bill requires North Dakota public agencies to verify immigration or work authorization only when federally permitted and relevant, while protecting personal data, allowing record corrections, and reporting credible fraud to federal authorities. It does not create independent state immigration enforcement or restrict legally required emergency services.

The bill requires North Carolina law enforcement agencies to participate in applicable federal immigration information-sharing programs while ensuring immigration-status inquiries do not obstruct crime investigations, victim services, or protections for witnesses and crime reporters.

Requires North Carolina agencies administering public benefits to verify eligibility and lawful status using federal systems and cooperate with lawful immigration requests, while preserving emergency services, appeals, record corrections, and anti-discrimination safeguards.

The bill offers competitive state grants, faster local review, and technical assistance for income-restricted workforce housing near transit and employment centers that meets clean-energy standards, while retaining local zoning authority and requiring annual performance reports.

The bill creates a state-backed fund for affordable and supportive housing near transit, jobs, and services, while accelerating qualifying infill projects. It also adds tenant relocation protections, coordinates voluntary support services, and requires annual public reporting.

The bill would ban Red No. 3 and purely cosmetic artificial red dyes in pet food sold in Indiana beginning in 2028. It also requires nutritional and labeling standards, authorizes inspections, and imposes penalties of up to $5,000 for repeated violations.

The bill requires Arizona state and local agencies to cooperate with federal immigration authorities when people unlawfully present are charged with or convicted of crimes, bans policies that block that cooperation, and restricts state-funded public benefits for undocumented immigrants to emergency care, required K-12 education, and other legally mandated services.

This bill would speed up permits for workforce and middle-income housing, especially near high-capacity transit, while allowing cities to convert some underused commercial and office land into housing more easily. It also offers state planning and infrastructure grants to local governments that expand housing capacity and reduce delays.

This bill creates temporary Texas tax abatements and limited infrastructure support for large projects like sports venues, factories, data centers, and mixed-use developments if they meet job and revenue targets. It also adds fast-track permitting, annual reporting, clawbacks for missed promises, and a five-year sunset.

This bill cracks down on illegal telemarketing and scam robocalls in Colorado by creating steep civil penalties, allowing consumers to sue, giving the Attorney General stronger enforcement tools, and requiring phone carriers to provide call authentication and free robocall blocking. It also creates a restitution fund for victims and mandates annual public reporting on enforcement and carrier compliance.
