  • As the new Congress goes to Washington, state lawmakers, too, will be starting fresh with a new slate of priorities.

The article from PBS NewsHour discusses the key issues that state lawmakers are expected to tackle in 2025, focusing on artificial intelligence (AI), housing, and other critical areas. AI regulation is becoming a priority as states look to address privacy concerns, ethical use, and the integration of AI in public services. Housing remains a significant issue with states considering policies to increase affordable housing, combat homelessness, and address zoning laws. Other top issues include education funding, healthcare access, climate change policies, and electoral reforms. Lawmakers are also grappling with the implications of AI in employment, education, and criminal justice, aiming to balance innovation with protection of civil liberties. Additionally, there's a push towards infrastructure improvements, mental health services, and managing the economic recovery post-COVID-19, all while navigating the political divide on these topics.
