- The Senate approved Assembly Bill 4 on a 16-2 vote, with Sens. Dina Neal and James Ohrenschall opposed and three lawmakers absent.
- An added provision bars school employees from allowing federal immigration agents on campus or sharing student information without a warrant, echoing language Lombardo vetoed during the regular session.
- Because of the amendment, the crime bill must return to the Assembly before it can be sent to the governor.
- The proposed expansion of transferable film tax credits in AB5 remains queued for a full Senate vote after earlier Assembly approval.
- Lawmakers have advanced much of the special-session agenda, with eight of 16 measures clearing both chambers, including cybersecurity upgrades, SNAP contingency aid, relocation funding for Windsor Park residents and a lung disease presumption for first responders, while legal counsel warned an AB6 amendment may fall outside the session’s call.
