SB 273 – Prohibition of state funds for "Sanctuary Campuses" - prohibits any form of state funding to any public or private institution of higher education that designates itself as a “sanctuary campus”, refuses to share information about undocumented students, or in any way impedes the federal government's ability to enforce federal immigration laws.

SB 300 – Defund Planned Parenthood - this legislation will favor more conventional healthcare providers over unconventional providers when allocating public funds for women’s health.

SB 383 - SCHOOL SAFETY OPTIONS - allow school personnel to have access to firearms in school safety zones if they receive authorization from the school board of directors, are licensed to carry a concealed firearm and have met certain training requirements in the use and handling of firearms.
