Notes

  1. ↑ Starting January 1, 2023, the minimum age will change from $10.00 to $15.00
  2. ↑ This bill would admit the District of Arabi as the 17th state. It would rename the District to the State of Republica. Republica would be a "Capitol State" meaning it houses the federal government of Arabi but the new state government would not have jurisdiction over any buildings, property, territories or land residing within the state borders that is operated or owned by the federal government.
