As of the last status update on February 12, 2026, HB7537 has been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, as well as the Committees on the Judiciary and Energy and Commerce for further review. This means the bill is currently being examined by relevant committees to determine its next steps in the legislative process.
