  • Filed: 2025-02-21 (first reading 2/25/2025). Introduced/Filed dates in the bill header vary (Feb–Mar 2025).
  • Referred to Rules Committee and later to the Land & Resource Management Committee; reported favorably as substituted (4/24/2025).
  • Floor activity: amended and passed to engrossment (5/12/2025); read 3rd time and ultimately failed to pass after reconsideration (5/13/2025).
  • Effective date (if enacted): July 1, 2025.

Because the bill failed to pass on 5/13/2025, its appropriations and provisions did not take effect; similar provisions would need to be reintroduced or included in another enacted appropriations measure to become operational.
