Legislative session review
Save yourself hours of reading: we’ll decode the entire session in under an hour. This review provides an overview of the most significant actions taken during the legislative session. It highlights the major bills that passed or failed and explains the policy impacts those decisions are expected to have. It also summarizes key budget choices, interpreting how they may shape both immediate priorities and long‑term fiscal conditions. Finally, it identifies notable proposals that did not advance this session but are likely to return for further debate in future legislative cycles.
