Summary:
The committee approved the minutes from February 24 and February 26. It then took up House File 3661, a bill originally authored by Representative Gomez and presented by Representative Feist, which would ban government use of facial recognition technology and be re-referred to the Public Safety Finance and Policy Committee. The committee adopted the A1 amendment, described as a technical amendment based on House Research recommendations, before hearing testimony on the bill.
Representative Feist said the bill is aimed at preventing serious privacy and civil-liberties harms, including secretive surveillance, racial and gender bias, and the lack of statewide rules governing government use of facial recognition. Supportive testimony came from Chad Marlo of the ACLU, who argued the issue is bipartisan, the technology has accuracy problems, and government use is expanding against vulnerable groups. Chris Wayland of Restore the Fourth Minnesota also supported a ban, emphasizing the inability to opt out of facial recognition and the lack of standards, disclosure, and community input. Rich Newmeister urged stronger transparency measures, including agency policies and public notice in buildings using the technology.
Major Spencer Baky of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office opposed an outright ban, saying facial recognition is used only as an investigative lead, not for positive identification or real-time surveillance, and that results are corroborated before use. He said the office has used the tool in hundreds of investigations and supports a statutory framework with safeguards instead of a ban. In member discussion, Representative Hudson argued a blanket ban was too broad and suggested a more targeted evidentiary approach, while Representative Moller and Representative Kurr expressed concern about misuse and the federal government's use of the technology. Representative Durant asked whether there was a current Minnesota problem and whether stakeholders and law enforcement had been involved in drafting the bill. No final vote on the bill was taken in the portion provided, beyond adoption of the amendment and the committee’s continued consideration of HF 3661.

Summary:
The Senate Judiciary Committee heard several bills, beginning with SB 762, which was amended by a strike-all to remove a one-year sunset and delete a reporting requirement to the Legislature. The bill would allow offices of criminal conflict and civil regional counsel to take on certain capital cases from outside their region on an optional basis, with supporters saying it could save money and use existing in-house death penalty expertise. After testimony from Senator Martin and the Second Region’s regional counsel, the committee reported CS/SB 762 favorably.
The committee also considered three local claims bills. SB 16, relating to relief for Heriberto A. Sanchez Mayan by the City of St. Petersburg, described severe injuries allegedly caused during an arrest and transport; the claimant’s counsel supported the bill, while President Gaetz spoke against the claims-bill process generally and voted no. The bill passed 9-1 and was reported favorably. SB 14, for Jose Correa against Miami-Dade County, involved injuries from a bus-pedestrian collision and was supported by the claimant and county; it passed 9-1 and was reported favorably. SB 24, for Lourdes and Edward Latour against Miami-Dade County, was an uncontested $500,000 settlement bill and passed unanimously.
Finally, the committee took up SB 208 on land use and development regulations. A late-filed strike-all amendment, described as a negotiated compromise, would make development application fees transparent and cost-based, tie them to direct and reasonable indirect review costs, and set subjective compatibility standards for residential projects, with carve-outs for PUDs, master planned communities, and historic districts. Multiple local government, planning, environmental, and business groups appeared in support. The amendment was adopted, and the committee then reported CS/SB 208 favorably on a 10-0 vote.

Summary:
The Commerce Committee heard three bills and held House Bill 2118. House Bill 2091 would increase the maximum assessment DIFI can charge domestic insurers based on admitted assets, with future adjustments tied to inflation beginning July 1, 2027. Supporters, including the sponsor and industry representatives, said the fees have not been updated in 25 years, Arizona’s regulatory workload has grown substantially, and the measure would help DIFI hire staff, reduce reliance on contractors, and speed insurance approvals without raising premiums. The committee recommended the bill do pass on an 11-0 vote.
House Bill 2138 would clarify that professional firefighters in city, town, county, or fire district departments are covered for workers’ compensation when injured while traveling to or from work or mandatory assignments. Testimony from Queen Creek and a firefighter described a real claim denial caused by a loophole in current law, arguing the bill restores original legislative intent and protects recruitment and public safety response. The County Supervisors Association said it was neutral and requested removal of “county” from the definition because counties do not employ firefighters; the sponsor said a floor amendment would address that. The committee passed the bill 11-0.
House Bill 2122 makes clarifying changes to reciprocity or endorsement qualifications for registration of certain BTR-related professions, including adding reciprocity with the United Kingdom that was omitted from last year’s law. The sponsor described it as a cleanup bill to support workforce development and make it easier for professionals to do business in Arizona. The committee approved the bill 11-0, and the meeting adjourned after all three measures received unanimous do-pass recommendations.
