Maddy summaryHB 558 establishes a legislative committee to study whether to create a public county registry tracking monthly rent for each rental unit and whether to ban landlords from using algorithms to set rents. The committee, composed of four legislators, must examine the feasibility of these measures and report findings by November 2025. This bill does not enact the registry or ban - it only authorizes a study. The committee recently voted "Inexpedient to Legislate," recommending against advancing the proposal.
Maddy summaryHB 646 requires all school districts to establish an online application system for students to apply for free or reduced-price school meals. This directly affects public school districts by mandating a digital replacement for paper applications. The bill allocates $200,000 in state funding (ending June 30, 2027) to the Department of Education to provide grants of up to $7,500 per district for purchasing the necessary software. The key mechanism is the state-funded grant program to help districts implement the online application process.
