Summary:
The Senate Finance Committee first heard Senate Bill 193, which would increase the transfer from the irrigation works construction fund to the acequia and community ditch infrastructure fund from $2.5 million to $5 million. Senator Campos said the bill was intended to provide additional resources for acequias facing ongoing needs, including fire and flood recovery in areas such as San Miguel, Mora, and Lincoln counties. Paula Garcia of the New Mexico Acequia Association testified in support. The committee approved the bill on a 6-0 do-pass vote.
The committee then considered Senate Bill 132, sponsored by Senator Padilla with Department of Information Technology Secretary Manny Baca. The bill would modernize state IT planning by adding software to the equipment replacement framework and renaming the revolving fund to include software replacement and upgrades. Members discussed the need for more centralized purchasing and coordination across agencies, with Senator Woods expressing frustration that agencies often buy different software instead of using common systems. The bill received a 7-0 do-pass recommendation.
Next, the committee took up Senate Bill 35, and first adopted a committee substitute for discussion. The substitute combined two judicial district judgeship proposals for the First and Second Judicial Districts and removed an appropriation. The committee then approved the committee substitute on a 6-0 do-pass vote. Finally, Senate Bill 145 was tabled permanently after Senator Woods moved to table it, with the motion passing 6-1. The committee then adjourned and announced it would meet again Monday.

Summary:
The Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee met on January 30 for a public hearing on House Bill 2640 and then took executive action on several bills. HB 2640 would address unauthorized Uniform Commercial Code filings by allowing the Department of Licensing to refuse suspected harassing or fraudulent filings, creating an affidavit-based process to terminate wrongfully filed financing statements, allowing administrative review and court challenges, and adding criminal penalties for intentional unauthorized filings. Department of Licensing testimony supported the bill as an agency request and said it would provide a lower-barrier remedy for people harmed by abusive UCC filings; members questioned whether the department should be making legitimacy determinations and whether existing court remedies were sufficient. No vote was taken on HB 2640 at the hearing stage.
In executive session, the committee advanced HB 2161, which expands attorney general civil investigative demand authority for certain civil rights and labor-related investigations, with a substitute clarifying that the authority does not apply to criminal investigations, bars improper use, and extends the response deadline from 20 to 30 days. The bill passed 7-5 with one excused. HB 2304, extending condominium warranty coverage to four-story buildings, passed unanimously. HB 2445, revising probate law and standards for personal representatives and third-party administrators, passed 10-2 with one excused, though some members warned it could slow legitimate probate matters.
The committee also adopted an amendment to HB 2590, which exempts limited equity cooperatives from the Washington Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act unless they elect coverage, and then passed the substitute bill 8-4 with one excused. Finally, HB 2412, increasing the number of superior court judges in Yakima County from eight to nine, passed unanimously 12-0 with one excused. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The Law and Justice Committee met on January 22 and first took up a series of bills in executive session, hearing staff descriptions of amendments and proposed substitutes on measures dealing with guardianship, consumer debt judgments, medical debt interest, human trafficking, missing persons, driver privacy, and law enforcement/sheriff-related issues. Members generally asked few questions during the briefing stage, but several bills drew substantive debate during final action, especially Senate Bill 5974 on sheriffs and law enforcement volunteers, Senate Bill 5993 on medical debt interest, Senate Bill 6070 on missing persons alerts and investigative tools, and Senate Bill 6002 on ALPR data and privacy protections. The committee also considered Senate Bill 5837 on guardianship, Senate Bill 6011, Senate Bill 6009, Senate Bill 5868, Senate Bill 5720, and Senate Bill 5936, with multiple amendments and substitutes discussed and adopted or withdrawn.
In executive action, the committee adopted proposed substitutes for SB 5837, SB 6009, SB 5720, SB 5833, SB 5936, SB 5993, SB 6070, and SB 6002, and sent those bills forward with due pass recommendations, most to the Rules Committee and some to Ways and Means. SB 6011 also received a due pass recommendation to Rules, and SB 5868 was sent to Ways and Means. On SB 5974, Amendment Charlie was not adopted, Amendment Delta was adopted, and Amendment Echo was withdrawn; the bill then received a due pass recommendation to Ways and Means. On SB 5993, several proposed amendments were offered and then withdrawn after discussion about medical debt interest rates and repayment incentives.
The committee then held a public hearing on Senate Bill 6086, which would strengthen protections for judicial officers and court personnel by expanding who can seek removal of personal information, broadening Address Confidentiality Program eligibility, and authorizing AOC security consultants to conduct threat assessments. Proponents, including AOC, judges, clerks, and other judicial-system representatives, described rising threats and safety concerns, while county officials, prosecutors, and sheriffs’ representatives raised implementation, constitutional, and data-access concerns. The hearing also included public testimony on Senate Joint Memorial 8014, which asks for a U.S.-led investigation into the killing of Aishanur Esgi; the family, supporters, and several advocates testified in favor, while two opponents raised factual and contextual objections. The committee closed public testimony after time expired, noting large numbers of signed-in supporters and opponents for both measures.
