Nut graf: The introductions and referrals — which included House Bills 4386 through 4395 and a separate set of bills numbered 4396 through 4409 and 4301 — will send the measures to committees including Judiciary, Regulatory Reform, Health Policy, Natural Resources and Tourism, and Economic Competitiveness for review. Lawmakers did not debate the measures on the floor; the session ended early when the clerk announced a lack of quorum and adjournment until April 30, 2025, at 1:30 p.m.
