- As the state adds new cemeteries, maintenance obligations compound and create a long-term unfunded liability
Summary:
The Senate Military and Veterans Affairs Committee heard several veterans-related bills, beginning as a subcommittee until a quorum was established. SB 888 would exclude VA service-connected disability compensation from household income when determining eligibility for the low-income disabled veterans’ property tax exemption. Support came from veterans organizations, county veterans services officers, and local government representatives; there was no opposition. The bill was moved to Appropriations and later recorded as passing 4-0.
SB 1040 would create a state-local matching program for maintenance endowments for veterans’ cemeteries, with the state matching private or local contributions up to $250,000 per cemetery per year. Supporters emphasized the need for sustainable perpetual care funding for state and county cemeteries, and there was no opposition. SB 1407, the chair’s bill, would exempt military retirement pay and surviving spouse benefits from state income tax; supporters argued it would help retain military retirees in California and support the economy, while members noted similar bills had previously stalled in Appropriations. SB 1034 would streamline disabled veteran parking placard eligibility for certain 100% permanent and total veterans, and SB 1201, the No Hungry Heroes Act, would seek federal waivers and related changes to protect vulnerable veterans from CalFresh/SNAP cuts and connect applicants to county veterans service officers. All of these bills received support from veterans groups and related organizations, with no opposition heard.
SB 1354 would prohibit out-of-state military personnel not operating under Title 10 from entering California to perform military or law enforcement functions without the governor’s permission, with supporters framing it as a safeguard for state authority and civil liberties. The committee asked about legal testing of the proposal, and the author said it had not yet been tested in court. After roll calls and a brief recess to regain members, the committee recorded 4-0 votes to pass the bills and consent calendar items, and the meeting adjourned after thanking veterans for their service.

Summary:
The committee first took up House Bill 2388 in executive session, considering a substitute that would combine two bills, add counties to the measure, and impose a felony penalty with a $100,000 fine for certain false claims. After Representative Black objected to the size of the fine and members discussed possibly amending it, the sponsor withdrew both the substitute and the motion to do pass, and the bill was set aside for reconsideration later.
The committee then heard House Bill 3381, which would allow counties and certain cities to waive penalties on delinquent property taxes in hardship cases. The sponsor and several supporters, including a Clay County commissioner and a state public advocate, argued the bill would give local officials flexibility to help taxpayers who were delayed by events beyond their control, such as illness, theft, postal delays, or banking errors, while still requiring the underlying taxes to be paid. Members raised questions about proof of hardship, how the bill should be drafted, and whether local retirement funding tied to late fees would be affected.
A representative of the county employees’ retirement fund testified in informational opposition, explaining that a portion of county tax penalties—about $20 million to $25 million annually—helps fund the retirement system and that waiving penalties would reduce that revenue. He said the fund was not opposed to flexibility for difficult cases, but wanted the committee to understand the fiscal impact and suggested that counties could instead appropriate money directly if they wanted to preserve funding. No final vote was taken on House Bill 3381 before the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The Environment, Energy, and Technology Committee approved the minutes from February 24 and March 2, then took up HCR 32, a resolution from Representative Levitt on Idaho’s energy future. Levitt said the measure responds to concerns about transmission projects, data center and Micron-related demand, Lava Ridge, and Idaho’s energy imports by emphasizing baseload generation, transmission, energy sovereignty, and private property rights. A representative from Renewable Northwest testified in support, saying the resolution appropriately recognizes the need for more generation and transmission, the importance of regional market participation, and protecting ratepayers, while cautioning that regional market access means Idaho will still rely on outside power at times. The committee then passed HCR 32 to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
The committee next heard HJM 18, sponsored by Representative Hostetler, which was revised to focus on solar geoengineering. Hostetler and several public testifiers argued that solar radiation modification and related activities pose risks to health, agriculture, water, soil, and property rights, and urged Idaho to oppose such experimentation and send a message to Congress and federal agencies. Testimony cited federal research documents, alleged environmental and health impacts, and concerns about transparency and consent. Multiple speakers supported the memorial, including individuals who said they had observed unusual aircraft trails or collected environmental samples, as well as others who framed the issue as one of state sovereignty and public health. After public testimony, the committee voted to send HJM 18 to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
During the HJM 18 discussion, one witness, Blake Horowitz, testified that aircraft trails are not merely water vapor and suggested the issue should be independently studied, while other testimony included claims about metals in rainwater, impacts on livestock, bees, crops, and human health. Representative Bingham asked for clarification about language referring to solar geoengineering versus weather modification, and Hostetler explained the memorial was narrowed to address solar geoengineering specifically because of overlap and confusion with weather modification. The committee then confirmed the motion and adjourned after both measures were advanced.

Summary:
The House Environment, Energy, and Technology Committee approved the minutes from February 10 and February 16, then heard a rule docket from the Drinking Water and Wastewater Professionals Board. The agency said the rule changes clarified licensure categories, exam score validity, experience and continuing education requirements, and auditing of exam providers, while also increasing fees to rebuild the board’s cash balance. After questions about the board’s finances and the Senate’s objection to the fee increase, the committee approved the docket with Section 400, the fee section, struck.
The committee then took up House Bill 593, a code cleanup bill from Representative Scott that would repeal obsolete hazardous waste planning committee provisions and the Big Payette Lake Water Quality chapter. Members raised concerns about overlap with another bill and whether the repeal would conflict with other hazardous waste provisions. After discussion and a brief recess, the motion to advance the bill was withdrawn and the committee voted to hold House Bill 593 in committee to the call of the chair. House Bill 714 was also held in committee without hearing.
Finally, the committee heard House Bill 687 from Representative Schurz, which would restrict state agencies from procuring, deploying, or using large language models unless they are developed and implemented without DEI principles and with truth-seeking, ideologically neutral standards. Schurz cited concerns about the Recidiviz vendor used by IDOC and said the bill would require contract language, agency procedures, and vendor accountability. Members questioned how agencies could verify compliance and whether the bill would affect other uses of AI, but the bill was advanced on a due pass motion and sent to the House.

Summary:
The committee began by introducing several RS drafts and sending them to print by unanimous voice vote. It then heard the gubernatorial reappointment of Dave Bobbitt to the Idaho Fish and Game Commission. Bobbitt described his background in banking and lifelong hunting and fishing in Idaho, and said his priorities include wolf and grizzly bear delisting and more state control over wildlife management. Senators asked about wolf depredation, population goals, hunting technology rules, and federal involvement in wolf management. The chair said the confirmation would not be voted on until the next meeting.
The committee next considered House Bill 502, which would move Idaho Forest Products Commission provisions from administrative rule into statute and consolidate related definitions, nomination, chair/vice-chair, and assessment requirements in the code. Senator Harris said the bill was mainly a codification and streamlining measure with no material policy change. The bill was moved to the floor with a do pass recommendation. The committee also heard House Joint Memorial 9, urging Congress to reaffirm FLPMA as the primary authority for federal land management and exchanges. Support testimony came from J.R. Simplot Company representative Elizabeth Kreiner, who described a long-running land exchange dispute and argued the memorial would preserve certainty for western land exchanges. The memorial was sent to the floor with a do pass recommendation.
Finally, the committee received an update from Idaho Water Resources Research Institute Director Kendra Kaiser on the institute’s funded research and priorities. She said the institute had distributed more than $500,000 across Boise State, Idaho State, and the University of Idaho, and that water scarcity, technology/monitoring, and water quality were the main statewide research themes. She highlighted projects on snowpack and streamflow forecasting, flood forecasting, harmful algal blooms, managed aquifer recharge, monitoring gaps, East Snake Plain water supply modeling, and Lake Pend Oreille management. Senators asked about curtailment forecasting, the Snake River Basin Study, and how the research would help tributary water users. Kaiser said the institute’s curtailment analysis was for early planning only and that results would be posted publicly and shared through presentations and advisory groups.

Summary:
The committee began by approving a motion to introduce and send several RS drafts to print. It then took up the gubernatorial reappointment of Dave Bobbitt to the Idaho Fish and Game Commission. Bobbitt described his background in banking, hunting, and fishing, and said his priorities would include wolf and grizzly bear management, with a goal of reducing wolves to about 500 statewide. He also strongly supported recent Fish and Game rules restricting the use of thermals, time-lapse cameras, and similar technologies in big game hunting, saying they were inconsistent with fair chase and could affect future game populations. The committee asked about wolf monitoring and federal involvement, and the chair said the confirmation would be held for a later meeting without a vote that day.
The committee then heard House Bill 502, which would move Idaho Forest Products Commission provisions from administrative rule into statute and clean up outdated language without making material policy changes. After brief questions, the bill was sent to the floor with a do pass recommendation. House Joint Memorial 9 followed, urging Congress to reaffirm FLPMA as the primary authority for federal land management and land exchanges in response to a recent Idaho court decision. Testimony from Senator Harris and Elizabeth Kreiner of J.R. Simplot Company emphasized the importance of FLPMA for land exchanges and Western land management. The memorial was also sent to the floor with a do pass recommendation.
Finally, Kendra Kaiser of the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute presented an update on the institute’s research priorities and projects. She said IWRI had distributed more than $500,000 to the state’s universities, identified over 90 research needs through a 32-member advisory committee, and prioritized about 18 projects, with a focus on water scarcity, technology, water quality, monitoring, and the East Snake Plain. She highlighted work on snowpack forecasting, flood forecasting, harmful algal blooms, managed aquifer recharge, weather and climate monitoring, seepage in canal systems, and lake level management in North Idaho. Members asked about curtailment forecasting, the Snake River Basin Study, and how the research would help water users and tributary basins; Kaiser said the work was for early planning and stakeholder information, not for issuing curtailment orders. The committee adjourned after the presentation.

Summary:
The Senate Finance Committee took up SB 1638, a federal tax conformity bill that updates Arizona’s tax code to the Internal Revenue Code as of January 1, 2026 and incorporates several H.R. 1-related changes, including subtractions for tips, overtime, seniors, and auto loan interest, plus changes to the standard deduction and charitable contribution deduction. Committee members and staff discussed two amendments: a chair’s clarifying amendment on retroactivity and foreign dividend language, and a more substantive Epstein amendment that would remove the broader conformity provisions and charitable deduction changes while limiting the standard deduction change to tax year 2025. The committee also discussed whether the bill would align Arizona with Department of Revenue forms and how much of the conformity package affected corporate versus individual taxpayers.
Public testimony was split. Supporters, including the Arizona Tax Research Association and the National Federation of Independent Business, argued the bill was needed quickly to reduce filing-season confusion, keep Arizona aligned with DOR’s posted forms, and preserve business expensing provisions that help small businesses invest and hire. Opponents, including the Arizona Center for Economic Progress, argued the bill would significantly reduce state revenue, primarily benefit corporations and higher-income taxpayers, and worsen the state’s budget outlook; they also questioned the value of provisions such as SALT conformity, foreign dividend changes, and the tip/overtime subtractions. Committee members debated the fiscal impact, the policy merits of immediate expensing and conformity, and whether taxpayers would need amended returns if the bill changed after filing season.
The committee adopted the chair’s clarifying amendment and rejected the Epstein amendment. It then voted to report SB 1638 as amended with a do-pass recommendation. The bill passed the committee by about 4-3, with members explaining their votes along lines of taxpayer certainty and conformity versus concerns about revenue loss and budget balance.

Summary:
The House Business Committee met with a quorum and considered several RS drafts and one bill. Representative Dygert introduced RS 32990, which would allow an LLC to list a commercial registered agent’s street mailing address instead of a home address on the state website for home-based businesses; members discussed privacy and transparency, and the committee voted to introduce it. Representative Redmond introduced RS 33170 on short-term rentals, saying it would clarify property owners’ rights while preserving life-safety rules; after a question about neighborhood nuisance concerns, the committee voted to introduce it. Redmond also introduced RS 33182, which would require Idaho employers to use E-Verify to verify legal work status and impose penalties for noncompliance; members raised questions about carve-outs and current verification practices, and the committee voted to introduce it.
Representative Wheeler presented RS 33102, extending the “shot clock” for building inspections to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing inspections to streamline permitting. Members questioned how the private-inspector backstop would work, whether municipalities might delay inspections, and how refunds or certification would be handled; the committee voted to introduce the RS. Representative Manwaring then presented RS 33063 on stablecoin, describing it as an opt-in state payments tool for faster, lower-fee transactions using approved, U.S.-controlled stablecoins; members raised concerns about digital currency, fiscal impacts, company ownership, and the role of the federal Genius Act, but the committee voted to introduce the RS.
Finally, the committee heard House Bill 512, also presented by Manwaring, which would reinstate an Idaho-specific open-book jurisprudence exam for land surveyors. Manwaring and several surveyors testified that Idaho law differs from other states and that the exam would help prevent boundary disputes, reduce litigation, and ensure surveyors understand Idaho-specific requirements. After testimony in support from surveyors and industry representatives, the committee voted to send HB 512 to the floor with a due pass recommendation. The meeting then adjourned.

- The erosion is happening now, and it will compound year over year.
Summary:
The Assembly Transportation Committee met and first took up AB 1091 on consent, which passed without discussion. The committee then heard AB 647 by Assemblymember Gonzalez, a cleanup/clarifying bill related to last year’s AB 630 pilot program for Los Angeles and Alameda Counties allowing local agencies to dispose of low-value, inoperable RVs that are public safety or environmental hazards. The author and supporters said the bill would clarify which local jurisdictions can use the pilot and help address abandoned RVs, while opponents argued it was a premature expansion that could destroy people’s only shelter and create a patchwork of local rules. Despite the opposition, the bill was approved and sent to Appropriations.
The committee also heard AB 1421, which would create a research and information process around California’s long-term transportation funding challenges and possible road user charge or mileage-based funding options. The author and sponsor argued that declining gas-tax revenue from more fuel-efficient and zero-emission vehicles is making the system less stable and less equitable, and that the bill would support a transparent, research-driven transition without imposing a new tax. Many local government, labor, business, and industry groups testified in support, while no opposition speakers came forward during the hearing. Members raised questions about equity, rural drivers, privacy, double taxation, and whether any future revenue would be dedicated to transportation infrastructure; the author said the bill was intended to inform future decisions, not set a tax policy now. AB 1421 passed on a 12-1 vote and was re-referred to Appropriations, and the committee then adjourned.

Summary:
The Assembly Health Committee heard several Senate bills focused on health care access, privacy, and public health data. SB 81 (Arreguín) would require health care facilities to create nonpublic areas and bar immigration enforcement from entering without a judicial warrant or court order, while also protecting disclosure of immigration-related information in medical records. The bill drew strong support from labor, immigrant-rights, health care, and patient advocacy groups, with committee members emphasizing patient safety and privacy; one member raised implementation concerns about how the restrictions would work in practice. The committee voted the bill out on a due pass motion to the Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee, with one no vote recorded.
SB 250 (Ochoa Bogh) would add skilled nursing facilities to DHCS’s managed care provider directory so Medi-Cal beneficiaries can more easily identify covered facilities. Supporters said the change would help seniors and people with disabilities avoid confusion and rushed placement decisions, especially during hospital discharge, and would make existing information easier to use. The committee passed the bill to Appropriations on a unanimous vote. SB 717 (Richardson) would formally recognize California’s three regional cancer registries in state law to help preserve federal funding and support cancer surveillance data collection. The author and supporters said the measure would protect more than $15 million in annual federal support and strengthen cancer research and tracking; the committee approved it unanimously to Appropriations.
SB 504 (Laird) would allow health care providers to disclose personally identifying information about previously reported HIV infections to state or local health officials when needed for disease control or care coordination. The author described the bill as a modernization of reporting and coordination practices, and supporters from the California Medical Association and Planned Parenthood backed it. The committee sent the bill out as amended to the Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee on a unanimous vote. The meeting also included routine consent-calendar action and multiple add-on votes, with the committee repeatedly holding the roll open to record additional members’ votes.

Summary:
The committee first took up House Bill 1183, by Rep. G. Lombardo, as amended by a strike-all. The bill would provide liability protection for local governments and private-sector entities that substantially comply with certain cybersecurity practices, including multi-factor authentication, disaster recovery plans, and related policies and procedures. Rep. Lombardo said the measure is intended to create incentives for better cybersecurity and to limit class-action exposure after incidents, while still allowing suits where negligence can be shown. Supporters included TechNet, the Florida Justice Reform Institute, the Florida League of Cities, Associated Industries of Florida, the Florida Association of Counties, and Dr. Edward Long of the James Madison Institute; Vice Chair Steele, Rep. Blanco, and Rep. McFarland also spoke in favor. Ranking Member Bracy Davis opposed the bill, saying she was not comfortable granting liability protections to entities that may have contributed to breaches and questioning whether substantial compliance would be self-attested. The amendment was adopted, and the bill was reported favorably by a 14-2 vote.
After the vote, the committee shifted into an extended discussion about Florida’s state IT governance structure, procurement, and project management. Members criticized the current federated model as fragmented and lacking clear accountability, with repeated references to long-running problems such as cost overruns, weak vendor oversight, workforce shortages, and the troubled I-Connect system. Several members argued that the state needs a single accountable leader or stronger enterprise authority over agency technology decisions. Ranking Member Bracy Davis raised concerns about the impact of broken systems on vulnerable populations and asked about the role of advisory councils. Rep. G. Lombardo, Vice Chair Steele, Rep. Miller, and Rep. Groh all emphasized the need for centralized leadership, better alignment of authority and budget, and more disciplined procurement and integration practices.
A public witness, Victoria Zep of Team 180, testified in support of a more enterprise-wide approach and said the private sector also wants more organization and transparency. She criticized short procurement timelines, limited competition, and poorly written scopes, and urged the state to post procurements more openly and seek broader vendor input. She also discussed the need to respect agency-specific federal requirements while still improving statewide coordination. The chair closed by asking members to bring forward ideas for immediate and long-term reforms, including review of Senate Bill 7026, and the meeting adjourned without further business.
