  • We have the opportunity today to hear from our University of Idaho folks.
  • And finally, one of your early slides showed a single-digit reduction in crop value for some raw crops
Summary: The committee approved the January 14, 2026 minutes and then heard a presentation from the University of Idaho on the financial condition of Idaho agriculture in 2025. Presenter Brett Wilder said Idaho agriculture is a major part of the state economy and forecasted record cash receipts of about $12.1 billion, driven largely by livestock, especially cattle and dairy. He contrasted strong livestock performance with weaker crop markets, noting declines in potatoes, sugar beets, wheat, and barley, along with rising labor, storage, transportation, and interest costs. He also said export activity remains important, with agriculture accounting for a large share of Idaho exports, and projected overall net farm income to rise modestly in 2025 despite continued pressure on crop producers. Committee members asked about cattle herd rebuilding, heifer retention, dairy-beef crossbreeding, Canadian cattle imports, processing capacity, hemp, land values, and producer leverage. Wilder said herd expansion appears to be starting, but the official federal inventory data was still pending; he also said beef-on-dairy production and the eventual reopening of the Mexican border could help rebuild supplies. On the crop side, he described severe financial stress from low prices, high debt, and reduced capital spending, and said sugar beets were likely to see the largest further drop in value in 2026. He added that land values remain strong but are closer to fair value than the peaks seen a few years ago, and that he was tracking rental rates and regional land trends. Wilder also discussed the broader supply chain, saying the beef sector depends on multiple links from genetics through processing and that packers and processors need enough cattle flow to remain viable. He said current conditions favor cow-calf producers more than processors, while crop producers face continued margin pressure. The committee thanked him for the presentation, asked no further questions, and adjourned the meeting until Thursday at 1:30 p.m.

Summary: The Senate convened with a quorum, heard a guest minister’s prayer and pledge, and then proceeded through the journal, legislative bureau report, and a large number of bills and resolutions. Several Senate resolutions and concurrent resolutions were introduced or laid over, including measures recognizing individuals and events, commemorating the YMCA’s 175th anniversary, and creating or referring study and memorial resolutions. The House also sent over multiple bills, which were introduced and referred to the appropriate committees, covering topics such as court filings, travel reimbursement, public assistance integrity, pregnancy and baby care data protections, alcohol permits, capital-case intellectual disability procedures, and pharmacy benefit manager transparency. The chamber then considered House-returned Senate bills. SB 68, a constitutional amendment concerning Louisiana Supreme Court jurisdiction over attorney disciplinary matters, failed to receive the required votes on concurrence after a 24-10 vote, though the author gave notice. SB 76, dealing with child custody modification standards, was concurred in unanimously. SB 149, on general obligation bond bid requirements, had House amendments rejected and was sent to conference. SB 191, concerning ad valorem tax notice procedures, and SB 196, extending the appeal period for tax assessments, were both concurred in. SB 318, on publication of the tax exemption budget and local reporting, was also concurred in unanimously. The Senate also suspended the rules to recall HB 1017 from the Retirement Committee and recommit it to Judiciary A. During personal privilege remarks, members highlighted Disability Awareness Day, recognized a local award recipient, and provided an update and prayer request for Senator Selders following surgery. The meeting concluded with committee announcements and adjournment to reconvene the following day.

  • Um, so there's plenty of more opportunities for input and for modifications.
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.

Summary: House Finance held public hearings on several tax and property-related bills. HB 2584 would create a sales and use tax exemption for qualifying farm machinery and equipment purchased by eligible farmers, with supporters arguing it would ease financial pressure on farmers, encourage investment in more efficient and environmentally friendly equipment, and help rural economies. County officials opposed extending the exemption to local sales taxes, warning of cumulative revenue losses for local governments. HB 2376 would consolidate the state school property tax levy and expand property tax relief for seniors, people with disabilities, and veterans by raising income thresholds, increasing exemption amounts, and simplifying the income calculation; county assessors and local officials supported the bill as a way to help residents age in place, while opponents argued it would raise taxes for others and weaken the 1% cap. HB 2610 would broaden the nonprofit homeownership development property tax exemption to allow limited interim rental or community use without losing the exemption, and testimony from affordable housing groups supported the change as a practical way to keep projects moving and reduce costs. HB 2615 would codify the Department of Revenue’s voluntary disclosure program and create a temporary tax amnesty period for certain unpaid business taxes; supporters said it would bring businesses into compliance and generate revenue, while one sponsor noted technical issues still needed to be resolved. In executive session, the committee advanced four bills. HB 2194, allowing a county and city within it to concurrently impose a cultural access program sales tax, passed 10-5. Substitute HB 2257, a broad tax code cleanup and technical changes bill, passed unanimously 15-0 after members said it clarified ambiguities from prior legislation. HB 2528, which would remove voter-approval requirements for certain cities to impose a local real estate excise tax, passed 11-4 despite objections that it reduced voter control over tax increases. HB 2175, exempting certain nonprofit providers of free durable medical equipment from sales tax on repair parts, also passed unanimously 15-0. The chair announced that HB 2584, HB 2610, and HB 2615 would be scheduled for executive action the following day, with no amendments allowed.

Summary: The House met on the final day of session with quorum present and spent much of the morning and afternoon on announcements, expressions of gratitude, and ceremonial business. Members repeatedly thanked committee staff, leadership, clerks, security, sergeants-at-arms, analysts, and family members for their work during the session. The Speaker also recognized committee chairs, vice chairs, and ranking members, and reflected on the importance of committee leadership and the personal perspective gained during the session. The chamber took up several memorials. House Memorial 4, requesting an LFC study on expanding health insurance access for public higher education educators and graduate student employees, passed 36-23 after debate over whether the study should focus on expansion and affordability. House Memorial 30, directing a study of public education governance and the possibility of a statewide education commission, passed 57-0. House Memorial 24, calling for a study of the possible consequences of restructuring the Las Vegas land grant, passed 60-0. House Memorial 26, a Wild Friends memorial about insects and an interagency workshop on insect identification, ecology, and habitat protection, passed after extensive supportive debate from members who emphasized science education, pollinators, and ecological balance. The House also approved a large consent calendar of memorials by a 55-0 vote, then cleared additional ceremonial memorials from the Speaker’s table, including New Mexico Food and Farms Day, International Year of the Woman Farmer, Lincoln County Day, New Mexico TRIO programs, and New Mexico Speech-Language-Hearing Association Day, which also passed 55-0. The chamber received a Senate message concurring in House amendments to Senate Finance Committee substitute for Senate Bill 273, as amended. The House then stood in recess subject to the call of the Chair while awaiting any further Senate messages and final adjournment business.
