- State Futures, a nonprofit coordinating legislative efforts, reported that 53 of these measures passed in 17 states this year as lawmakers increasingly share strategies across state lines.

- Some Democratic governors have vetoed measures, including Virginia Democratic Gov Abigail Spanberger, who feared they would place security personnel in an "untenable position" regarding federal law.
- Rhode Island Sen Tiara Mack said many Democrats now use federalism to strengthen state protections, though these legislative efforts continue to face Republican opposition and White House challenges.
