Legislators spent much of the day debating several high‑profile bills as part of Crossover Day requirements. Issues included:
- Property tax reforms, including HB 1308, which would cut owner‑occupied property taxes while raising other tax rates.
- Bills defining restroom access by biological sex and defining “man” and “woman” in state law.
- Measures addressing abortion‑related practices and election‑procedure changes.
- Senate votes on previously failed bills involving backup electric generation and reinvestment payment programs.
The Senate also continued discussions on competing property‑tax relief proposals. Among them, a governor‑backed plan allowing counties to levy a half‑percent sales tax to offset local property taxes advanced to the House.
