Summary: The Joint Committee on Public Health held a hearing to take testimony on a wide range of bills involving professional licensure, clinical practice, and public health-related workforce issues. The chair explained that no votes would be taken at the hearing and that the purpose was to gather public input. Early testimony focused on Marnie’s Law, with supporters describing the bill as a no-cost, preventive measure to require nursing education on inflammatory breast cancer after a family tragedy and arguing it could reduce misdiagnosis and save lives. A major portion of the hearing centered on bills affecting clinical decision-making and licensure compacts. Supporters of the physician ownership/clinical autonomy bills argued they would protect independent practices from corporate interference after the Steward collapse, while supporters of EMS, dental, psychology, physical therapy, and physician assistant compacts said the measures would improve workforce mobility, reduce delays, and expand access to care, especially for rural patients, military families, and telehealth users. Several witnesses emphasized that the compacts would not reduce standards and would strengthen public protection through shared disciplinary databases and streamlined credentialing. There was also testimony on bills to ensure safe medication administration and to protect the independence of complementary and alternative health care practitioners. Nursing representatives urged that only licensed professionals administer medications in hospitals, hospices, and home care settings, warning that delegation to unlicensed staff could endanger patients and nurses’ licenses. A complementary and alternative care witness supported consumer access with mandatory disclosures and limits on reserved medical acts. On the dental compact, witnesses were split: some supported portability and workforce flexibility, while others warned the compact lacked a hands-on skills exam and could weaken Massachusetts’ regulatory authority and patient safety. The hearing concluded with continued testimony on the psychology compact, physical therapy compact, and physician assistant bills, with most speakers favoring expanded interstate practice and reduced administrative barriers.

Summary: The committee heard SB 1375 by Senator Cortese, which would streamline environmental review for certain transit and rail projects that have already undergone extensive prior review. Supporters, including VTA, San Jose transportation staff, BART, Caltrain, MTC, and Climate Reality Silicon Valley, said the bill would reduce duplicative analysis, save time and money, and help advance projects like the Diridon Station modernization in San Jose. Committee members emphasized the bill’s narrow scope and the added amendments requiring displacement planning, legal services for displaced residents, construction-impact mitigation, and natural resources planning. The bill was approved on a 5-0 vote and sent to Transportation as amended. The committee also took up SB 1031 on compostable plastics labeling and waste-stream impacts. The author and supporters such as Californians Against Waste argued the bill would reduce greenwashing, clarify labeling, cut contamination in compost and recycling streams, and direct OEHHA to study health and environmental effects. Opposition from manufacturers, BPI, retailers, and others focused on concerns that the bill would effectively ban compostable products in California, create costs, and fail to fix a separate federal/NOP labeling problem. After extensive discussion about composting capacity, labeling clarity, and costs, the bill passed 3-2 to Appropriations. SB 958 by Senator Weber Pierson addressed the Midway Rising redevelopment project in San Diego. The bill, as amended, would no longer create a full CEQA exemption but instead clarify CEQA treatment of building-height impacts in the project’s future EIR. Supporters said the project would deliver thousands of housing units, including affordable housing, along with parks, a new arena, and economic benefits on underused city land. The committee voiced support for the project’s housing and revitalization goals, and the bill passed 3-0 to Local Government as amended. The committee also heard SB 1075 on strengthening AB 617 community air protection plans, with environmental justice supporters backing stronger enforcement and local implementation while local governments, business groups, and air district representatives warned it could create uncertainty, raise costs, and function as a land-use mandate; the bill was held on a 2-2 vote after the author accepted several amendments and continued negotiations.

Summary: The House Education Committee heard House Bill 918, which would realign the Idaho Digital Learning Alliance (IDLA) by narrowing its mission, reorganizing its board, capping administrative costs at 30%, requiring outside and LSO audits, setting course fees, and limiting state funding per course. The bill would eliminate or restrict funding for private school, virtual school, K-5 Launch Pad, driver's education, custom sections, and most middle school enrollment except remediation, while preserving some access through Advanced Opportunities money and an emergency exception for hard-to-fill teaching vacancies. Representative Pickett said the bill was intended to address concerns about double-dipping, private use, and program growth beyond IDLA’s original purpose, and to reduce state spending by about $13.5 million. IDLA Superintendent Jeff Simmons testified in opposition, saying the bill would restrict school choice, shift costs to families and districts, and reduce access for rural students, especially for electives, dual credit, and middle school enrichment. Several superintendents and school officials from Potlatch, Grace, Butte County, Wendell, Cottonwood, and Kimberly also opposed the bill, arguing that IDLA is essential for rural and small schools to provide electives, dual credit, credit recovery, and career exploration, and warning that the bill would force districts to absorb costs or pass them on to families. Supporters of the bill emphasized oversight, fiscal restraint, and limiting use to core supplemental purposes, while some members expressed concern about cutting effective programs and about the impact on rural districts. After testimony and discussion, the committee first failed a motion to hold House Bill 918 in committee. A substitute motion to hold the bill in committee until a time certain on Monday, March 23, then passed on a roll call vote, so the bill was held over for further consideration. The chair said the committee would return to the issue on Monday.

Summary: The Senate convened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, electronic roll call, and approval of the March 24, 2026 journal. Several members used points of personal privilege to introduce guests, including visitors from Arizona Business and Professional Women for National Women’s History Month, advocates for women and families, guests connected to Audubon Day and Western Rivers Day, and a guest shadowing a senator who is running for LD17. The remarks highlighted women’s contributions to Arizona history, BPW’s advocacy for pay equity, health care, and equal rights, and the importance of water policy for recreation, tourism, birding, and the state economy. The chamber also handled routine floor business. Messages from the House were waived from reading, and Senate Bills 1010, 1023, 1029, and 1211 were transmitted to the governor. Second reading was taken up on House Bills 2344, 2375, 2680, 2750, and 2976, covering topics including the local government investment pool, housing and zoning in historic neighborhoods, workers’ compensation notice, the Arizona-Sonora Trade Commission, and a sexual abuse prevention pilot program. Committee announcements were made for the next day: Judiciary and Elections at 9:00 a.m., Rules at 9:45 a.m., and both Republican and Democratic caucuses at 9:50 a.m. The Senate then adjourned by motion until Thursday, March 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

Summary: The Senate Committee on Health and Human Services met with a quorum and considered several pending bills. The main discussion was on Senate Bill 1232, where the committee adopted a substitute that removed national provider identifier requirements, added an all-payer claims database study on facility fees, narrowed the facility-fee ban, created a telehealth exception when the patient is physically located in the facility, expanded the definition of facility fee, and added a 90-day notice requirement. The author noted the Texas Hospital Association had effectively neutralized the bill, though some nonprofits still opposed it. The substitute was adopted and then reported favorably by a 6-1 vote. The committee then took up multiple House bills, including HB 37, HB 388, HB 879, HB 913, HB 1115, HB 2809, and HB 116, each of which was moved out favorably and recommended for the local and uncontested calendar. HB 37, HB 388, HB 913, HB 2809, and HB 116 were reported with unanimous or near-unanimous support, and HB 879 and HB 1115 were also advanced without recorded opposition. Senate Bill 1782 was also reported favorably on a 7-0 vote, with a brief remark that it involved a criminal offense and would be sent to the floor. The committee also adopted a committee substitute for Senate Bill 2919 and then reported the substituted bill favorably by a 6-1 vote. After completing the agenda, the committee recessed subject to the call of the chair.

Summary: The committee first heard testimony on House Bill 167, which would add ski, snowboard, and boat wax containing PFAS to the state’s consumer-product restrictions. The sponsor argued the product is already banned in many places, has PFAS-free alternatives, and is used in ways that can directly contaminate water rather than landfills. She cited high PFAS levels in several New Hampshire lakes and said the bill was a simple extension of prior PFAS legislation. A witness also described a personal experience where a liquid ski wax disappeared from the market and later returned, likely because of PFAS concerns. The chair then closed the hearing on HB 167 without a vote. The committee then opened a hearing on House Bill 312, dealing with college athletes’ name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights. Representative Moffett said the bill was modeled on New Jersey law and intended to let student-athletes earn compensation from NIL without losing institutional scholarships, while also requiring licensed representation and setting limits on certain endorsements. He described the measure as proactive because NIL rules are evolving and could create conflicts among schools and future lawsuits. Members questioned whether the bill should apply to two-year institutions, whether it should exclude firearms and weapons, and whether the scholarship protections would cover need-based or academic aid as well as athletic scholarships. Moffett said the scholarship language was intended to protect scholarships generally, but not need-based aid specifically, and he acknowledged discomfort with some of the endorsement restrictions. Public testimony on HB 312 was mixed. One supporter, a former Division III athlete and coach, backed the bill but urged removal of a section allowing institutions or athletic bodies to use an athlete’s NIL without compensation, arguing most New Hampshire athletes do not receive NIL money and should not have to work extra jobs to cover basic expenses. The chair also raised concerns about the bill’s contractual and identity-rights implications, referencing prior committee work on a J.D. Salinger-related identity case and noting the committee had previously declined to get involved in similar contractual disputes. No vote was taken during the hearing.

Summary: The committee met for a series of information sessions focused on housing stabilization, rental assistance, senior housing, and heat resilience. In the first panel, OHCS and NOAA described the state’s affordable housing preservation work, including the $35 million in 2025 stabilization funding used to reduce debt and keep distressed affordable rental projects operating, plus manufactured home park preservation efforts. OHCS said the portfolio remains under strain, with about a third of projects at debt coverage ratios of 1.0 or less and rising insurance and operating costs. NOAA urged faster closings on the stabilization awards, more funding in 2027, and broader rent assistance and process reforms. Committee members asked about the gap between current appropriations and need, and OHCS explained that the new Article 11-Q bond preservation program is structured differently and requires full refinancing rather than simple cash infusions. The committee then heard a detailed discussion of the state’s eviction prevention and rental assistance program, ORDAP. OHCS said the program is administered through community action agencies, prioritizes households at imminent risk of eviction, and is now funded at a much lower level than in the prior biennium, reducing expected service to about 8,200 households this biennium. The Oregon Law Center, a county community action agency, and Multifamily Northwest all agreed the program prevents homelessness and is effective, but they differed on whether assistance should be tied so closely to eviction court. Legal aid and community action witnesses said the current system is underfunded and that eviction filings are the clearest indicator of need, while Multifamily Northwest argued the process can push people into court unnecessarily and should be moved earlier when possible. Legislators raised questions about whether a pre-eviction model could be developed and about the costs of court involvement; one member shared a personal story about how rental assistance helped keep their family housed. Next, the governor’s office, OHCS, and OHA presented on the new senior housing initiative and healthy homes work. The governor’s housing director said Oregon is making progress on homelessness and housing production, with reductions in homelessness outside Multnomah County and an estimated 50,000 future units added to the pipeline through recent state actions. OHCS outlined the senior housing programs launched in May: a debt-financing program using elderly and disabled bond authority, an older adult housing development program funded through the senior property tax deferral revolving account, and a rehousing program for older adults that will use bridge funding and services to move at least 400 unsheltered older Oregonians into housing. OHA also described its Healthy Homes Grant Program, including $24.6 million already awarded, a new $5 million grant round for seniors and people with disabilities, and examples of home repairs and weatherization that help people remain safely housed. The final information session focused on home cooling and heat resilience. OHA presented data showing rising extreme heat days, more heat-related emergency visits, and likely undercounted heat deaths, especially among older adults, people with disabilities, low-income communities, and people without access to healthy homes. ODOE reviewed implementation of Senate Bill 1536, including a cooling needs study that found 58% of surveyed households in the studied housing types needed permanent cooling, with estimated statewide costs of $582 million to $1 billion. ODOE said its rental home heat pump and community heat pump programs have supported 4,638 installations so far, with a temporary reopening planned using remaining funds. The session ended with a remote presentation from a Community Action Partnership of Oregon representative, continuing the discussion of how community action agencies help deliver energy and anti-poverty services.

Summary: The Joint Committee on Children, Families, and Persons with Disabilities held a hybrid hearing on miscellaneous bills, including H. 5286, which would require DCF to consult a medical professional when a parent presents evidence of a pre-existing diagnosis that could explain symptoms mistaken for abuse or neglect. Representative Brian Mario said the bill would give DCF another tool in difficult cases. Jennifer Fernandes testified about her family’s experience with her grandson being removed after doctors initially suspected a skull fracture that later proved unfounded, saying the bill could help prevent similar outcomes. Committee members expressed sympathy and indicated interest in further discussion. The committee then heard extensive testimony on H. 5085/S. 3095, the omnibus “An Act Significantly Alleviating Poverty.” Supporters described the bill as a comprehensive anti-poverty package built from the Poverty Commission’s work, combining higher cash assistance grants, matched savings, baby bonds, a guaranteed stipend for youth aging out of foster care, expanded tax credits, language access, clean slate record sealing, and worker protections. Senator Eldridge, Senator Miranda, Representative Decker, and many advocates argued that poverty is tied to housing instability, child welfare involvement, health harms, and racial and gender inequities, and that the bill would help families meet basic needs, build wealth, and reduce the benefits cliff. Witnesses from social service, legal aid, labor, immigrant advocacy, and public health groups strongly supported the bill’s provisions. Several focused on specific sections: child support pass-through and a broader good-cause exception for TAFDC recipients; extending the state EITC to ITIN filers; creating baby bonds and matched savings programs; automating criminal record sealing; improving language access at state agencies; and ending the subminimum wage for farm workers. Former foster youth and service providers said the guaranteed stipend would help young adults avoid homelessness and transition more safely into adulthood. No votes were taken during the hearing, and the chairs repeatedly noted the limited time and encouraged written testimony and follow-up conversations.

Summary: The House opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and welcomed a fourth grade class from Howard Manning School in Middleton, along with other guests. The chamber then adopted several congratulatory resolutions, including honors for Girl Scouts and Eagle Scout Gold Award recipients and the Worcester Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club on its 150th anniversary. The House also concurred in a Senate petition concerning fines for motorboat operators engaged in wake surfing near shorelines, referring it to the Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security. Members suspended rules to advance several local matters, including a petition by Representative Fiola to authorize municipalities to opt into a temporary pilot program extending liquor license hours and allowing public consumption in designated districts; that matter was referred to the Committee on Equity. The Steering, Policy and Scheduling Committee recommended and the House ordered to third reading several local bills involving additional alcohol licenses in Berkley and Bolton, municipal charge liens in Newton, and a land transfer in Marion. The House then adopted the emergency preamble and passed House No. 5375, financing long-term improvements to municipal roads and bridges. It also passed to be engrossed House No. 3929, which changes the minimum age requirement for original appointment as a police officer in Worcester. The chamber adopted an order to adjourn until Thursday at 11 a.m., observed a moment of silent tribute for Charles “Charlie” Van Dini of Plymouth, and then adjourned.
