The bill is currently in its early stages, having been introduced and referred to a committee.
As of the last update on May 11, 2026, the bill has been read twice in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Finance. Future actions will depend on the committee's review and recommendations, including any potential hearings or votes in the Senate.
