The House convened, completed the roll call, and heard an invocation, a Veteran of the Week recognition for Colonel William S. Hartzell, and several guest introductions and special presentations, including the Coeta Tigers wrestling team, the Murray State College shotgun team, and visitors from Taiwan.

Summary:
The committee first approved the minutes from March 25 and reordered the agenda to hear House Bill 941 first. HB 941, presented by Speaker Moyle, would move the rules coordinator and related rule publication functions from the executive branch to the Legislative Services Office and eliminate the existing periodic review process for administrative rules. Supporters said the bill would restore legislative control over rules and ensure they match statutory authority; opponents raised separation-of-powers concerns and worried about giving one legislative employee too much power. After questions from several members, the committee voted on a due-pass motion, which failed 8-5.
The committee then reconsidered Senate Bill 1320, a code cleanup measure removing outdated language tied to a State Controller’s Office project fund that ended in 2023. With no testimony in opposition, the committee passed SB 1320 to the floor with a due-pass recommendation. It next heard Senate Bill 1236, which repeals the Idaho Women’s Commission because it has been defunded and inactive for years. The sponsor described it as housekeeping, while several women’s advocacy groups and individual testifiers opposed the repeal, arguing the commission still has value in addressing women’s representation, pay, health care, and other issues. After debate, a motion to hold the bill failed 7-6, and the committee then approved SB 1236 for the floor on a 7-6 vote.
Finally, the committee considered Senate Bill 1397, presented by Representative Sauter and Senator Woodward, which would bring certain private wastewater systems under Public Utilities Commission oversight if they have 100 or more connections. Supporters said some homeowners are trapped by private sewer monopolies, facing doubled rates and being unable to obtain building permits because systems lack capacity or will-serve letters. Opponents questioned whether the bill would interfere with private contracts, but supporters argued it would provide the same consumer protections already applied to other utility monopolies. The committee passed SB 1397 to the floor with a due-pass recommendation and then adjourned.

Summary:
The committee first took up House Bill 2901 in executive session. After a brief explanation from the bill sponsor, the committee adopted a House Committee amendment ending in 0.07 that set a five-year expiration date and clarified where reports must be filed. The committee then rolled the amendment into a substitute and voted the House Committee substitute do pass by a roll call of 13 ayes and 0 noes.
The committee then heard House Bill 3000, which would fix the signature threshold for petition-driven audits by tying the required number of signatures to the gubernatorial election in effect when the petition process begins, rather than when signatures are submitted. The sponsor and the State Auditor’s office said the change would prevent the required number from shifting during the petition period and provide consistency. No vote was taken on the bill during the hearing.
House Bill 313 was then heard, a fentanyl-poisoning response bill that would require naloxone in public buildings, designate October as Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Month, require fentanyl education for students in grades 6 through 12, and require training and investigation procedures for law enforcement in drug-related deaths. The sponsor and multiple family members who lost loved ones to fentanyl strongly supported the bill, emphasizing prevention, access to Narcan, and more thorough death investigations. Committee members generally expressed support, raised questions about the definition of public buildings, school implementation, and funding, and testimony suggested opioid settlement money as a possible source. No committee action was taken on HB 313 in the transcript.

Summary:
The Senate convened with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, recorded attendance, approved the prior journal, and made temporary committee appointments. It then resolved into Committee of the Whole to consider SB 1106, a tax conformity bill tied to federal tax changes. Senators debated the measure at length, with supporters arguing it would provide tax relief, certainty for taxpayers and businesses, and conformity with federal filing rules, while opponents said it would reduce state revenue, favor wealthier taxpayers and corporations, and should be handled in budget negotiations or a special session. The bill advanced from Committee of the Whole and, on third reading, passed the Senate 17-12 with one not voting, then was transmitted to the House and later to the governor.
During the floor debate, senators focused on the bill’s effects on child care deductions, senior deductions, overtime and tip income, business expensing, and a provision related to federal school voucher tax credits. Democrats argued the bill would worsen budget pressures, undermine funding for education, roads, public safety, and human services, and do little for families on child care waitlists or seniors still working. Republicans countered that the bill would keep more money in taxpayers’ pockets, support working families and small businesses, and align Arizona’s tax code with federal changes to avoid confusion for filers.
After the tax vote, Senator Bolick read a proclamation honoring Arizona and U.S. law enforcement, citing fallen officers, officer assaults, and the need for training, equipment, mental health support, and tougher penalties for attacks on officers. The Senate then received and referred a large number of new bills to committees, announced upcoming committee meetings, and adjourned until Tuesday, January 20, 2026.

Summary:
The Criminal Justice Committee met with a quorum present and temporarily postponed SB 156. The committee first considered the confirmation of Matthew Walsh as Secretary of the Department of Juvenile Justice. Walsh described his background in law enforcement, social work, and juvenile justice, and outlined DJJ priorities including recruitment and retention, staff wellness, collaboration with DCF and other agencies, aging facilities, and expanding educational and vocational opportunities for youth. Members asked about his social work training, lockout youth, bed space, recidivism, and the Florida Scholars Academy. The committee voted unanimously to favorably report his confirmation.
The committee then took up SPB 704, a committee bill extending the public records exemption for conviction integrity unit reinvestigation information. Senator Martin explained that the exemption was originally created to protect active innocence reviews and should continue past its current sunset date. With no opposition or debate, the committee voted unanimously to report the bill favorably as a committee bill.
Next, the committee considered CS for SB 32, as amended, which creates an injunction for protection against serious violence by a known person and adds it to the statewide injunction verification system and related enforcement provisions. Senator Sharif said the bill is intended to give judges a faster tool to protect victims who have reported serious violence to law enforcement, while supporters said it addresses cases where victims are harmed before a repeat-violence injunction can be granted. Eric Friday of Florida Carry opposed the bill, warning it could be misused against self-defense situations and create problems in cases already covered by existing injunction laws. After debate, the committee voted unanimously to report the bill favorably. The committee then considered SB 210, which extends public records protections to petitions for injunctions for protection against serious violence by a known person, including dismissed petitions and identifying information before service. There was no opposition, and the committee voted unanimously to report SB 210 favorably before adjourning.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Health Policy considered several health-related measures. SB 890 on improving screening and treatment for blood clots was presented as a work-in-progress based on a prior working group. The bill would define certain clot-related conditions as chronic diseases, create a DOH registry, require screening and training in hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities, and several senators raised concerns about definitions, training requirements, facility responsibilities, and public records impacts. Survivors and family members testified in strong support, describing blood clots as a preventable public health crisis. The bill was reported favorably after a roll call vote.
SB 668 on storage and disposal of prescription drugs and sharps would direct a study of medical sharps collection and address conflicts between state and federal law on disposal of certain prescription drugs. Senators discussed whether the study should include both individual and commercial disposal and whether newer injectable medications increase sharps waste. The bill received supportive testimony from waste and recycling stakeholders and was reported favorably. SB 762 on preventing the spread of avian influenza would create a DOH task force to develop a statewide response strategy, monitor outbreaks, study wastewater monitoring, and recommend cost-effective testing and prevention measures. An amendment extended the task force deadline, and the bill was reported favorably as a committee substitute.
The committee also approved SB 182, which creates the Home Away From Home tax credit for businesses donating to charities that house families of critically ill children, with supporters saying it would help expand lodging for families in need. SB 942, the chair’s bill on restrictive covenants in health care, would limit non-compete clauses for physicians under a salary threshold, with debate focused on patient access, workforce retention, and concerns about small practices and contract enforcement. The bill was reported favorably. Finally, the committee adopted SPB 7018 to preserve a public records exemption for minors seeking judicial bypass of parental consent requirements for abortion, and then reported it favorably. Several members later recorded votes on earlier bills, and the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The House Health and Welfare Committee met with a quorum, welcomed Boise State nursing students, and noted a substitute member sitting in for Representative Egbert. The committee first considered Department of Health and Welfare rule dockets covering developmental disabilities agencies and residential habilitation agencies. Department staff said the rules were a comprehensive rewrite and consolidation to reduce duplication, improve clarity, and align related provider types under the same statutory authority. Members asked about physical restraint language, and staff said the definition was carried over from the residential habilitation chapter and was not intended to be more restrictive for that population. The committee approved the developmental disabilities docket and then approved the residential habilitation docket, which was described as a repeal-and-recodification into the consolidated chapter.
The committee then took up the assisted living facilities docket, which also was presented as a rewrite focused on consolidation and clarification. Most of the discussion centered on criminal history and background check provisions, especially language allowing new employees to work while background checks are pending if they are supervised by cleared staff. Representative Kaler argued the revised language weakened protections for vulnerable residents and offered a substitute motion to strike the revised subsection; after discussion with department staff about existing practice, supervision standards, and the need to preserve FBI background-check access, he withdrew the motion. The committee also asked whether the rules applied to memory care units, and staff said they do. The docket was then approved in full.
Finally, the committee approved a rule docket repealing the residential habilitation chapter because its substance had been recodified in the earlier consolidated developmental disabilities chapter. Members briefly discussed whether the rules would still be needed if the service were reduced in the budget, and staff said they would remain necessary so long as the service continued. The committee then introduced RS 33050, sponsored by Representative Redman, which would update Idaho’s midwifery statute to reflect modern evidence-based practice and allow licensed midwives to administer medications within their training and scope. The RS was introduced without opposition, and the meeting adjourned.

Summary:
The House Education Committee held public hearings on two bills. House Bill 1662 would move several education-related boards and commissions—the State Board of Education, the Professional Educator Standards Board, the Financial Education Public-Private Partnership, and the Charter School Commission—toward operational independence from OSPI by July 1, 2027, including separate administrative services, asset and employee transfers, and transition planning by OFM. The prime sponsor and supporters said the bill would improve transparency, fiscal accountability, and agency flexibility, while OSPI-related testimony emphasized that small agencies need more nimble administrative support. No one testified in opposition; the hearing record noted 2 pro, 1 con, and 5 other sign-ins, and members were told the bill was substantively the same as the version passed the prior year except for date changes.
The committee then heard House Bill 1683, which would require most school districts with 2,000 or more students to elect at least some school board members from director districts rather than entirely at-large, with larger districts needing more district-based seats and districts under 2,000 students exempt. The sponsor and supporters argued the change would improve geographic and demographic representation, especially for lower-income communities and communities of color, and would help ensure school boards reflect the students and families they serve. Opponents, including a school directors association representative, said the bill would be an unfunded mandate, reduce local control, and create added election costs and recruitment challenges; one witness also suggested the bill should consider broader proportional-representation options. Staff noted that 23 districts would currently be out of compliance, and the hearing record showed 12 pro, 163 con, and 2 other sign-ins.
No executive action was taken on either bill during this portion of the meeting. At the end of the hearing, the chair reminded members that several bills heard that week would be on next Thursday’s executive session agenda, urged prompt amendment requests, and announced that the committee would adjourn to caucuses.
