Summary: The committee heard and acted on several appropriation and policy bills, beginning with SB 1550, which would provide $1.255 million to Queen Creek for a three-year police pilot focused on runaway youth prevention, at-risk youth protection, and anti-trafficking investigations. Supporters said the program would dedicate trained officers to prevention and rapid response and could serve as a statewide model. Some members objected to funding a single locality without a local cost share, but the bill received a do pass recommendation, 7-2-1. Members then considered SB 1156 and SB 1157, both sponsored as reimbursements to local governments for border-related costs. SB 1156 would appropriate $20 million to reimburse cities, towns, and counties for short-term detention holds for unauthorized non-citizens, while SB 1157 would appropriate $20 million for supplemental fencing or bollard walls in high-crossing border areas. The sponsor described both as backfilling local expenses already incurred, while opponents argued the measures would subsidize detention and border enforcement rather than Arizona priorities. Both bills drew extensive public opposition and were advanced on party-line-leaning votes: SB 1156 passed 5-3-2 and SB 1157 passed 5-3-2. The committee also approved SB 1245, which would provide $2.457 million for Rodeo Road pavement replacement in Williams, after the sponsor said the request had been reduced from the original amount. Members raised concerns about limited HIRF funding and the need for local participation, but the bill passed 6-3-1. SB 1707, a $5 million appropriation for DPS artificial intelligence tools related to border security, also passed 6-4-0 after testimony split between supporters who saw AI as a useful border tool and opponents who said the bill was too vague or unnecessary. SB 1811, which would change school cell-phone policy language from allowing use “during” an emergency to “in the case of” an emergency, passed 8-1-1 with supporters saying it would give schools more flexibility and avoid logistical problems during lockdowns. Later, the committee approved SB 1088, a $2.5 million cybersecurity appropriation for the Department of Homeland Security, including funding for generative AI security and modernization of the statewide VPN, despite objections that the department had not requested the money and that other cybersecurity needs were already pending. It then advanced SB 1332, as amended, to require ADOT to study light rail expansion in Maricopa County and compare it with autonomous or semi-autonomous transit options; the hearing featured strong testimony from small business owners along the Indian School corridor who said light rail construction would hurt access and sales, and opposition from Phoenix/Valley Metro representatives who argued transit decisions are local and that ADOT is not the right entity to conduct the study. The bill was discussed at length as a neutral feasibility review rather than a prohibition after the amendment removed the state-participation ban.

Summary: The committee first took up HB 2611, which would prohibit algorithmic price-setting in Hawaii’s rental market, require public education by the Attorney General, and establish fines and penalties. The Department of the Attorney General opposed the bill, saying its language was too unclear and could expose landlords and agents to criminal and civil liability for ordinary rent-setting practices based on public information or assistance from property professionals. Members asked about antitrust standards, tacit agreement, and whether using county-published affordable-rent schedules would be unlawful; the AG said that would not be unlawful if based on public information and without collusion. Testimony was mixed, with the chair noting support from the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission, Hawaii Realtors with comments, 50501 Hawaii and General Strike Hawaii, Haloha Project, 13 individuals, and one opponent. The committee then heard HB 2102, which clarifies that residential projects involving ground disturbance in high-risk areas remain subject to state historic preservation review and removes an exemption for lands presumed nominally sensitive. The Office of Planning and Sustainable Development and the Department of Planning and Permitting supported the measure, saying it would improve clarity and ensure review focuses on projects most likely to affect historic properties or iwi kupuna, while also urging language refinements to better define sensitive sandy-soil areas and balance preservation with housing timelines. NAP Hawaii opposed the bill, arguing it would undo progress made last session and that the current process already includes protections for inadvertent discoveries and efficiency for lower-risk areas. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs strongly supported HB 2102, explaining it was responding to beneficiary complaints about late-added language in last year’s law and saying the nominally sensitive-area language should be removed because it was adopted without sufficient stakeholder input and could be harmful to iwi kupuna protections. Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation and several individuals also supported the bill. Committee discussion focused on how “nominally sensitive” areas are determined, whether project proponents could self-certify areas as exempt, and how high-density residential projects should be treated; SHPD said it uses survey and monitoring data to map sensitivity, that highly sensitive areas like Kīauea are not nominally sensitive, and that some high-density projects should remain exempt if they do not involve new ground disturbance. The hearing included no final vote in the portion provided, but the chair noted 48 individuals in support and continued questioning on the bill’s definitions and implementation.
