K-12 Bills = 87
Higher Education Bills = 51
Total Bills = 107 (some bills are listed as both K-12 & Higher Education)
The 2026 Legislative Session includes several high-priority bills focused on stabilizing education funding during a difficult budget year. Key proposals include the supplemental operating budget, rising school operating costs, and higher education funding, as districts and regional universities face serious financial strain. These measures are critical to keeping schools open, buildings maintained, and campuses functioning, while avoiding deeper cuts in higher education that would further displace classified staff.
Other priority bills focus on how schools and employers adapt to changing conditions. Lawmakers are debating proposals on artificial intelligence, including its use in student discipline and whether AI-related impacts should be subject to collective bargaining.
This table includes the major bills PSE is currently tracking and engaging in.
