The House and Senate adopted Joint Rules on June 26, 2025. Changes to the Rules require substantial updates to the legislative tracking system, and to how information is displayed on the Legislature’s website. Updates are continually being implemented to accurately reflect bill histories, tracking, and reporting.

As a point of clarification, House legislation subject to House Rule 27 that have had a hearing and have not been reported are required to be reported to a study based on the deadlines indicated in Joint Rule 10 and House Rule 27.
