Minnesota has its own funnel deadlines but they're more of a sieve? Bills must have passed out of committee by 3/27/26 in both chambers or by yesterday 4/17/2026 if finance bills -- but they can be revived by the Rules Committees.

I've marked them as failed... for now

A graphic with a group photo of LGBTQ+ advocates in front of the State Capitol's gold dome, holding signs that read "liberty and justice for all." In the top corner is the Georgia Equality logo and a header reading, "VICTORY UNDER THE GOLD DOME." Text at the bottom reads, "BREAKING: Together, we successfully defeated all of the nearly 15 anti-LGBTQ bills this legislative session."

A group photo of the Georgia Equality staff members gathered on the Capitol steps inside the GA State Capitol building.

A graphic with Georgia Equality's statement. The organization logo is at the top, followed by the text: "“This session, we stopped every bill targeting LGBTQ Georgians, even in spite of underhanded political maneuvers deployed over the last few weeks. Thousands of Georgians from over 60 counties came together to successfully defeat every last one. “Despite state leadership fixating on restricting LGBTQ+ rights as their core priority over the past years, we made it clear that scapegoating LGBTQ+ Georgians is not a winning political strategy. Georgians want more than culture war distractions; we deserve solutions addressing healthcare access, cost of living, and more affordable housing. This result is a credit to every Georgian who worked tirelessly to defend our LGBTQ+ loved ones, neighbors, and friends. We believe that the tide is turning not just here in Georgia, but across the country. Georgia Equality will continue to fight to ensure that all Georgians have the right to live and thrive in the state we call home.” The quote is attributed to Jeff Graham, executive director.

BREAKING: After a late night at the Capitol to finish out the 2026 legislative session, we could not be more excited to share that WE DID IT! We successfully defeated ALL of the nearly 15 pieces of anti-LGBTQ legislation!

As legislature breaks for veto period, what made it, what didn't, what still has a chance • Kentucky Lantern The General Assembly will break on Thursday, returning to the capitol on April 14 and 15 when they can override vetoes and pass more bills.
