‘First Lateral’ Deadline Wipes out Lots of Bad 2A Bills

News Release from HiFiCo, Feb 19, 2026

Today’s ‘First Lateral’ legislative deadline wiped out a LOT of bad bills.

As of right now, we are down to:

NINE (9) active 2026 bills

FOUR (4) Zombie bills from 2025

That’s it.

The field just narrowed — but we’re not done yet. These remaining bills are the ones still moving, and this is where focus matters most.

Stay alert. Stay engaged. We’ll keep you updated as the session moves forward.
