Summary:
The Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee took up a mix of tax policy, incentive, and administrative measures, beginning with an annual motion authorizing the chair to request OSBI background checks for any Horse Racing Commission nominees. The committee then passed Senate Bill 1839, as amended, to create a de minimis ad valorem tax exception for personal property valued at $5,000 or less per account. The committee also confirmed Daniel LaFortune to the Oklahoma Tax Commission by a 12-0 vote, with LaFortune emphasizing his IRS background and commitment to customer service and fairness.
Several other bills were approved, including Senate Bill 1280 to align the plugging fund sunset date in the tax code with another statute; Senate Bill 1832 to reauthorize income tax refund checkoffs for veterans programs; Senate Bill 2001 to freeze property taxes for three years for homeowners displaced by a turnpike or eminent domain, though members raised concerns about downsizing and future valuation; and Senate Bill 1405 to renew the wildlife diversity checkoff, with testimony clarifying it would fund non-game species rather than predator reintroduction. Senate Bill 1989 also passed, expanding the Oklahoma College Savings Plan to accept digital payment platforms such as Venmo and PayPal, with members discussing how deposits would be tracked.
The committee then considered Senate Bill 2143, which would allow counties to use aerial or satellite imagery and fixed-wing aircraft for property assessment while excluding drones; supporters cited efficiency, safety, and accuracy, while opponents raised privacy, foreign-company, and taxpayer-frustration concerns. The bill passed 7-4. Senate Bill 1393, a housing redevelopment tax credit for vacant and abandoned properties, passed 8-3 after discussion about affordable housing requirements and project ranking. The committee also approved three Incentive Evaluation Commission recommendations: Senate Bill 1392 to increase the aerospace engineer employee tax credit, Senate Bill 1395 to limit carryforward of the new jobs tax credit to seven years, and Senate Bill 1400 to consolidate aircraft-related sales tax exemptions. The meeting adjourned after the chairman noted more bills would be heard at a later meeting.

Summary:
The Senate opened with ceremonial items, then moved through gubernatorial appointments and a series of floor votes. It confirmed Acacia E. Ingram to the Evergreen State College Board of Trustees, Ashland J. Tibbet and David S. Frockt to the Western Washington University Board of Trustees, and Christine Rolfes to the Olympic College Board of Trustees. Members spoke in support of the appointees’ public service and ties to higher education. The chamber also heard a personal privilege statement honoring a Colfax basketball coach who died of pancreatic cancer, followed by a caucus break.
The Senate then considered several bills, passing measures on derelict vessels (SHB 2199), radiologic technologist supervision (HB 2113), nitrous oxide retail sales (ESHB 2532), ambulance transport fund alignment (HB 2531), EMT recertification (HB 2540), affordable housing on religious property (2SHB 1859), factory-built housing standards (SHB 2151), social housing public development authorities (EHB 1687), the Washington Voting Rights Act and voter suppression claims (ESSHB 1750), privacy and data protection reporting and AI use (HB 2606), military family school stability (ESHB 2534), coal-fired utility treatment (HB 2367), and school access to albuterol (SHB 2360). Most passed on strong bipartisan roll calls, though the voting-rights bill and coal-utility bill drew the most debate and partisan division.
Several bills were amended on the floor. The Senate adopted changes to the nitrous oxide bill, the factory-built housing bill, the social housing bill, the albuterol bill, and the 3D-printer/firearm-manufacturing bill (ESHB 2320), while rejecting some proposed amendments on the voting-rights and 3D-printer bills. Debate centered on whether the voting-rights bill set too low a threshold for lawsuits and whether the coal-utility bill gave improper treatment to coal generation; supporters framed both as needed protections or transition measures, while opponents warned about litigation and policy overreach. The chamber also discussed tribal consultation in energy siting (SHB 2496), ultimately passing it after a close vote, and later returned to the 3D-printer bill, which advanced after amendments narrowed exemptions for gunsmiths and dealers and clarified the bill’s focus on digital files used to manufacture firearms.

Summary:
The Senate considered Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2034, a measure to terminate and restate the LEOFF 1 pension plan and use surplus funds for other state purposes if federal approval is obtained. During debate, senators discussed whether the plan should remain funded at 110% or 120% of actuarial value, whether surplus dollars should instead go to transportation or the budget stabilization account, whether members should receive an additional distribution, and whether local governments should be reimbursed for retiree health care costs. Several amendments were offered: a Gildon amendment to raise the funding target to 120% failed; a technical Robinson amendment adding a date passed; Holy, King, Harris, Schessler, and Conway amendments addressing member distributions, transportation, budget stabilization, local government health care costs, and a reconstituted board distribution all failed; and Robinson’s amendment removing Climate Commitment Act repayment language passed. The Ways and Means striking amendment, as amended, was then adopted.
On final passage, supporters argued the bill was actuarially sound, had been reviewed by attorneys, actuaries, the State Investment Board, and the Department of Retirement Systems, and would allow use of excess funding for other state needs. Opponents warned it left too little in the pension fund, should dedicate surplus dollars only to one-time uses, and did not adequately reimburse cities and counties for retiree medical obligations. After debate, the Senate passed E2SHB 2034 by a vote of 25 yeas, 22 nays, with one absent and one excused.
Afterward, the Senate returned to Substitute House Bill 2178, which was also passed on final passage by a vote of 39 yeas and 9 nays, with one excused. The chamber then adjourned until the next scheduled meeting.

Summary:
The House convened with a quorum, the Pledge of Allegiance, a National Anthem performance by Pastor Pamela Bowman, and a prayer by Senior Pastor Joseph Bowman of Integrity Life Church in Federal Way. The prayer and musical selections focused on Martin Luther King Jr. Day themes of justice, unity, service, and hope. The House then approved the previous day’s minutes without objection.
House Resolution 4672, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was read and adopted. Representative Penner moved adoption and spoke about remembering both the promise and the struggle of the civil rights movement, while Representatives Reeves, Lowe, and Thomas also offered remarks emphasizing King’s legacy, the ongoing work of justice, the importance of nonviolence, and the need for public service and respectful disagreement. Representative Thomas also described personal experiences with racism and called for continued action rather than platitudes.
After the resolution passed by voice vote, the House handled routine business: introduction-sheet items and committee reports were referred as designated, and the Rules Committee was relieved of several bills, moving House Bill 1160 and House Bill 1798 to second reading and Substitute House Bill 1066 and Engrossed House Bill 1574 to third reading. Democrats and Republicans announced caucuses after adjournment, and the House adjourned until 9:55 a.m. Tuesday, January 20.

Summary:
The House Appropriations Committee continued its public hearing on HB 2289, the supplemental operating budget. Testimony focused heavily on the governor’s proposal to redirect or supplant Climate Commitment Act revenue, with environmental and public health advocates arguing that the $569 million diversion would undermine climate pollution reduction, wildfire resilience, clean transportation, affordability programs, and long-term climate investments. Several speakers also urged restoration of full wildfire funding under HB 1168, warning that underfunding would increase future costs and risks to communities and ecosystems.
A large share of testimony opposed proposed Medicaid and long-term care changes, including freezing or delaying rate rebasing for nursing homes, shifting pharmacy benefit financing, and reducing support for caregiver staffing. Providers said the cuts would destabilize facilities, reduce access for Medicaid residents, and worsen workforce shortages. Other speakers urged continued funding for public health services, the Working Families Tax Credit, food assistance, housing and homelessness programs, right-to-counsel for tenants, disability services, and public defense, arguing that reductions would increase emergency-system costs and harm vulnerable residents.
Education-related testimony supported the Ninth Grade Success Initiative, homeless student supports, and K-12 funding, while school and university representatives opposed higher education cuts and called for new progressive revenue. Child care advocates warned that proposed subsidy caps and rate reductions would reduce access and harm the workforce. The committee also heard support for public works infrastructure funding, land conservation and youth outdoor programs, a tribal liaison position at a museum, and continued support for dental access and immigrant legal services. No votes were taken; after public testimony ended, the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The House Appropriations Committee opened with committee guidelines for the 2026 session, emphasizing time limits, no visual aids, amendment deadlines, confidentiality, professionalism, and the chair’s authority on parliamentary rulings. The chair also noted the meeting was being recorded and live streamed, and that public testimony would be limited to one minute because of the large number of sign-ins. The committee then heard a work session presentation from OFM Director Katie Chapman on Governor Ferguson’s proposed 2026 supplemental operating budget, followed by questions about the budget’s four-year balance and potential credit-rating effects. Chapman said the proposal addresses a roughly $2.3 billion shortfall through nearly $800 million in spending reductions, revenue shifts, fund transfers, and about $1 billion from the Budget Stabilization Account, while also making targeted investments in areas such as child welfare, wildfire response, housing, and some affordability measures. She also explained that the proposal does not fully balance in the 2027-29 outlook, though she said the governor believed the statutory conditions allowed that choice.
Chapman outlined major proposed reductions, including a soft cap and lower subsidy rates for Working Connections Child Care, limits on Apple Health Expansion enrollment, reduced increases for assisted living and nursing homes, reductions to transition to kindergarten and Running Start, flat local effort assistance, and across-the-board cuts to higher education and agency operations. She also described shifts of Working Families Tax Credit funding to the Climate Commitment Account, additional transfers from accounts such as Public Works Assistance, and proposed closure of several tax preferences. Agency and stakeholder testimony largely split along these lines: education groups, child care advocates, higher education leaders, and school employees opposed cuts to TTK, LEA, Running Start, and child care; human services and legal aid groups supported or sought restoration of funding for crime victim services, right to counsel, civil legal aid, and youth/foster care programs; and natural resources and local government witnesses objected to sweeps from wildfire, derelict vessel, and infrastructure accounts.
Several statewide officials and agency representatives also testified. Secretary of State Steve Hobbs objected to additional sweeps from his accounts and said prior cuts had forced layoffs and service reductions, including at the libraries and corporations division. Commissioner of Public Lands Dave Upthegrove said the wildfire prevention funding in the budget was still $30 million short of the commitment in House Bill 1168 and warned that underfunding would increase fire costs. Other testimony supported funding for the Office of Civil Legal Aid, the Office of Public Defense, the Human Rights Commission, the Economic Security for All program, and the state employee contracts included in the budget. The committee did not take any votes or formal action during the hearing; it continued taking public testimony on the governor’s budget proposal.

Summary:
The joint committees on Energy and Intergovernmental Affairs, Transportation, and later Judiciary heard two sets of resolutions. The first, SCR 132 and SR 124, urged the City and County of Honolulu to take steps to finalize the Makakilo Drive Extension Project. Testimony from a Makakilo resident emphasized the lack of a second access route and raised safety concerns about being trapped in the area in an emergency. Both committees voted to pass the resolutions unamended.
The second set, SCR 11 and SR 9, requested that the U.S. Congress amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, education, federally funded programs, credit, and jury service. Supporters from the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women, IMUA Alliance, and Pride at Work in Hawaii argued that stronger anti-discrimination protections are needed to reduce vulnerability to violence, housing insecurity, and exploitation, and to provide federal protections that mirror state law. One senator asked whether state protections already exist and was told the resolutions seek federal-level protections because federal law can supersede state law. Both committees adopted recommendations to pass SCR 11 and SR 9 unamended, with votes in favor and some members excused.

Summary:
The Housing Task Force 2.0 reconvened with several new members and heard a presentation from Kentucky Housing Corporation Executive Director Winston Miller and Deputy Executive Director Wendy Smith. They framed the task force’s work as a practical effort to address Kentucky’s housing shortage, update members on the current housing landscape, summarize existing state and federal resources, and suggest areas for the task force to focus on over the coming year.
KHC said its 2024 housing supply gap analysis found Kentucky is short about 206,000 housing units, split roughly evenly between rental and homeownership, and projected the gap could grow to 287,000 units by 2029 if current trends continue. They emphasized that every county in Kentucky needs more housing, that the 2008 housing crisis and loss of construction capacity remain major causes of the shortage, and that current pressures include high interest rates, rising insurance and tax costs, construction cost inflation, and housing prices and rents growing faster than incomes. KHC also said homelessness has risen in Kentucky, with point-in-time counts showing double-digit increases in recent years.
The presenters reviewed existing resources, including federal programs, the Kentucky Affordable Housing Trust Fund, the rural housing trust fund, KHC mortgage and down payment assistance programs, and the state mortgage interest deduction. They said these resources are important but insufficient to close the gap, and noted that a proposed federal FY2026 budget would cut HUD programs by 44%, potentially removing about $286 million from Kentucky housing resources, though no action has been taken yet. They urged the task force to consider stronger, more flexible tools such as a revolving loan fund, a state affordable housing tax credit, and economic development and employer-assisted housing incentives, and pointed to Indiana’s housing infrastructure and regional development funds as examples. No votes or formal actions were taken in the portion provided.

Summary:
The House Postsecondary Education Committee met and considered several higher education bills. HB 3700, by Rep. Chad Caldwell, would require public college grades to be based only on academic criteria, including attendance, and not on students’ opinions, beliefs, or conduct outside the classroom. Supporters said it formalizes an existing expectation and protects free speech; opponents raised concerns about local control and whether it was a response to a specific incident. The bill passed 6-2.
The committee also passed HB 3379, a “ban-the-box” style bill by Rep. Ranson that would bar colleges from asking about felony history before admission, with exceptions for sex-related felonies and post-admission follow-up on housing, payment, and degree planning. Members questioned campus safety and whether violent offenses should be excluded, but the bill advanced 6-2. Rep. West’s HB 3129, prohibiting public institutions from charging security fees to student groups based on the content of their expression, passed 7-1 after discussion about whether schools could still assess security costs based on event size or risk. His HB 3132, which would limit the use of DEI-related practices in accreditation and require annual reporting on accreditors, also passed 6-3.
Rep. Eves’ HB 3315, directing a feasibility study on three-year bachelor’s degrees, passed unanimously 9-0. Rep. Woolley’s HB 2950, as amended, would prevent extra admissions requirements for students from unaccredited backgrounds, address Oklahoma’s Promise requirements for homeschoolers, and allow OLAP applications up to age 18; it passed 7-2. Finally, Vice Chair Wolfley’s HB 3242, aimed at protecting women’s privacy in restrooms, locker rooms, showers, shelters, and correctional facilities, passed 6-2 after extensive questioning about how it would apply to transgender individuals and safety concerns for both women and trans people.
