Summary: The House convened with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, approved the journal, recognized the Doctor of the Day, and welcomed several guest groups and visitors in the gallery. Members also offered personal privilege remarks introducing guests and marking birthdays and other occasions. The chamber then took up third-reading votes on Senate bills 1126, 1252, and 1479, all of which passed and were transmitted onward. The House then resolved into Committee of the Whole to consider multiple Senate bills. SB 1099, dealing with defamation and online publication, drew debate over free speech and press protections; opponents argued it would narrow speech rights, while supporters said it distinguished criticism from defamation. SB 1107, SB 1148, SB 1294, and SB 1366 were each recommended do pass with little or no debate. The Committee also considered SB 1237 on the election procedures manual, with supporters saying the Secretary of State should consult legislative committees and opponents calling it overreach; SB 1243 on notice to guardians when patients are released from court-ordered treatment, with supporters citing patient safety and opponents warning it could weaken guardianship reforms; and SB 1281 on reporting federal land acquisitions, which drew a sharp exchange over property rights, federal overreach, and conservation concerns. Later, the Committee considered SB 1586 and SB 1741. SB 1741, which would allow students to be excused for off-campus religious instruction and receive academic credit, prompted debate over free exercise rights, public-school neutrality, and whether charter and district schools should be required to accommodate release-time religious programs. After the Committee rose, the House adopted the Committee of the Whole report, placing SB 1237, SB 1243, SB 1281, SB 1586, and SB 1741 on third reading. The House then heard additional personal remarks and adjourned until Tuesday, April 7, 2026.

Summary: The Stable Token Study Commission held its first regular meeting, welcomed all remaining appointed members, and completed brief introductions from legislators and agency designees. The chair outlined the commission’s plan to use the first part of the enabling legislation as a “level-setting” discussion, focusing this meeting on the basics of blockchain, the current landscape for stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets, and leaving blockchain-based trust for a later meeting. No votes were taken. The main presentation came from Deanna Bario Zales of the Global Blockchain Business Council, who described stablecoins as increasingly converging toward fiat-backed or asset-backed models, with algorithmic designs viewed more cautiously. She said stablecoins are being used for payments, remittances, DeFi activity, cross-border transfers, retail use in high-inflation markets, and treasury functions, while noting risks such as peg instability, reserve transparency, counterparty and network risk, and possible capital flight from weaker banking systems. She cited growth in supply, wallet activity, and transfer volume, and said U.S.-pegged stablecoins dominate the market, with USDT and USDC leading. Zales also discussed tokenized real-world assets, describing them as digital representations of physical assets that can enable fractional ownership, liquidity, and faster settlement. She said the market is growing quickly, with institutional participation from firms such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton, and projected continued expansion. She closed with an overview of regulatory developments, emphasizing the new U.S. stablecoin framework under the Genius Act, the proposed Clarity Act, OCC guidance, and similar regimes in the EU, UK, UAE, Singapore, Japan, and elsewhere, all of which she said are shaping compliance requirements and market development.

Summary: The committee first considered House Bill 667, described by the sponsor as a cleanup measure to a 2024 solid waste law. Testimony said the bill would clarify issues involving indirect access to protected information, contractors and consultants, Open Records Act interactions, and remedies when protected material is obtained. The committee voted 13-0 to pass the bill favorably and recommended it for passage on the House floor. The committee then took up House Bill 677, which would establish Kentucky’s legal and regulatory framework for carbon dioxide geological sequestration and help the state seek EPA primacy over Class VI injection wells. Supporters said the bill was the product of 18 months of work among industry, landowner, environmental, and cabinet stakeholders, and argued it would promote economic development, protect landowners, and support carbon-capture investment and related infrastructure, especially in Western Kentucky. An amendment was adopted by voice vote, and the bill then passed favorably with committee amendment attached. Finally, the committee discussed House Bill 535 as amended by a committee substitute. The bill would authorize securitization for certain investor-owned utilities with out-of-state assets, including Kentucky Power, to refinance assets such as the Mitchell plant and certain regulatory assets, with a two-year rate freeze and PSC review for net savings. Sponsors and supporters framed it as an affordability and jobs measure that could finance new natural gas generation at Big Sandy, create several hundred construction jobs, and support long-term economic development in Eastern Kentucky. Members raised concerns about utility fees, PSC discretion, and transparency; sponsors said the proposal would not be approved without overall savings and that applications would also be reviewed by the legislature, the Attorney General, and EPIC. The committee adopted the committee substitute and then passed House Bill 535 favorably, with several members explaining their votes and some noting continued reservations for floor consideration.
