We take a closer look at two key bills under discussion:
House Bill 1870 – A proposal to allow counties to levy a small additional property tax to fund public health clinics, including mobile clinics providing low-barrier healthcare. Supporters argue it would create a sustainable funding source, while critics worry about rising property taxes.
House Bill 1984 – A bill that would require a human safety operator in self-driving vehicles on highways. Advocates say it’s a necessary step for public safety, while tech companies argue it could slow innovation. (2/24/25)
