State legislation moves quickly, and a bill is not law merely because it was introduced, heard in committee, or passed one chamber. This page records the official status we could verify on July 22, 2026.
HB 1499 remains pending in the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee. It has not become law.
Florida SB 1128 died on March 13, 2026. It did not become law.
Colorado HB 25-1159 became law in 2025. Its central child-support guideline changes took effect March 1, 2026.
Kentucky HB 322 concerns child-care certification on military installations. Texas SB 2260 concerns multifamily tax-exemption disclosures. Neither is the custody proposal previously described on this page.
Open the official bill page before contacting an elected official. Confirm the bill number, current chamber, committee, sponsor, latest action, and whether the governor has acted. Then write to the official who can still affect the bill.
