HB 1001

Lawmakers finish the 2025 session with a state budget that covers a massive revenue shortfall. A measure meant to address high health care costs goes to the governor. And school board races will turn partisan under a narrowly-approved bill.

The Senate advanced the budget bill Tuesday, a $46.8 billion spending plan that will evolve further over the next several days.

House Republicans advance their budget proposal. A controversial immigration bill quickly clears the House chamber. And a ban on transgender women competing in college sports heads to the Senate.

Lawmakers from both parties are thinking about huge potential cuts in federal funding as they write this year’s state budget.

House Republicans rejected every effort by Democrats Wednesday to adjust the state budget bill.
