We are now in the home stretch.  All legislation moving forward had to be out of the fiscal committees in to their respective Rules Committees as of yesterday.  Now we have until March 6th to get them to the floors and voted on.

There are three actions now to take. Contact your legislator about voting for bills that are calendar and hitting the floors for the final vote and then contacting the Rules Committees to move the bills for forward for a floor vote.

New codes will be issued to committee and entity leaders who are expected to pass them to select team members according to door code protocols. Team leaders will need to stop by the BUF office to get your new code beginning 10 AM on Monday.

This is our last Saturday work party in February to finish restoration of our gardens at BUF.

Now that the bills have been passed onto their opposite chamber or died in committee, we enter the home stretch for this session.  February 25, 2026 is the policy committee cutoff date for this session.  There will likely be a few more as they still have today to push through the remaining bills, but in the meanwhile you can comment on the bills with hearings thus far.

On April 12th, BUF will be present a special event with local author Clyde Ford. A survey for the BUF congregation has been created to help with the planning of this event.
