Legislature Week: 1 Measure Passed a Chamber, None Enacted, Oct 16

Published Oct 16, 2026, 6:08 AM AST787daily · Original analysis

At a glance

  • 30 of the 30 tracked measures recorded an action in the week of Oct 9–15
  • No tracked measure was enacted this week
  • Passed a chamber: PS 1248
  • The House carried most of the activity

Why this matters: Passing a chamber is the halfway mark: a measure still needs the other chamber’s vote and the governor’s signature before it becomes law.

Legislature tracker: every bill, where it stands

Nothing in the tracker became law this week, but one measure passed a chamber: PS 1248 (Amend Articles 2.34, 22.02, and 23.02 of Act 22-2000).

The House was the busier chamber, with 19 of the 30 actions. 7 of the tracked measures deal with Oversight, the most common subject, ahead of Health and Taxes.

One measure changed status since Oct 9, and 29 entered the tracker as older ones fell off it; the table below lists what moved. Most of the list is still early-stage: 20 of the 30 measures are introduced or in committee.
