Summary: The committee took up a series of criminal justice and public safety bills. SB 1084, which exempts certain identifying and location information for non-legal support staff in state attorneys’ offices from public records requests, was supported by prosecuting attorneys and reported favorably. SB 212, as amended, created new restrictions related to sexual offenders and predators, including a 200-foot restricted presence provision near certain locations and updated notification/supervision requirements; it drew strong opposition from researchers, advocates, and affected families who argued it lacked evidence and would increase homelessness, but it was reported favorably. SB 682, addressing domestic violence, coercive control, strangulation, animal abuse, injunctions, and related training and enforcement issues, received emotional survivor testimony and support from animal welfare and law enforcement groups and was reported favorably. SB 656, creating and renaming FDLE Internet Crimes Against Children funding and grant programs, was amended and reported favorably and unanimously. The committee also considered SB 810 on sealing criminal history records, which would expand eligibility for some non-conviction records and one low-level misdemeanor conviction after waiting periods and judicial review; supporters said Florida is unusually restrictive, while one senator raised concerns about the scope, and the bill was reported favorably. SB 890, creating a standalone battery by strangulation offense applicable outside domestic relationships, was reported favorably after the sponsor said it would close a gap in current law. SB 892, revising habitual offender and violent career criminal sentencing procedures and notice requirements, was reported favorably, with defense lawyers supporting the clearer pretrial notice. SB 928, “Missy’s Law,” requiring immediate remand to custody after conviction of certain dangerous crimes, was amended to include computer pornography/child exploitation offenses and reported favorably after a family member of the namesake victim testified in support. Later, SB 1284 modernized arrest and search warrant statutes, expanding judicial summons options for some misdemeanors and broadening warrant/arrest authority in certain DUI, injunction, domestic violence, and misdemeanor force cases; defense lawyers supported the judicial-discretion portions but raised concerns about DUI/BUI arrests, and the bill was reported favorably. Finally, SB 812, a technical companion to SB 810 updating public records treatment for sealed criminal history records, was amended to clarify prosecutorial access for later cases and reported favorably. Several bills were supported by law enforcement, prosecutors, and advocacy groups, while others drew opposition from civil liberties, treatment, homelessness, and criminal defense advocates. The meeting adjourned after members recorded additional votes on selected tabs.

Summary: The Appropriations Committee met in executive session on three bills. For House Bill 2159, which creates the pre-K Promise account for ECEAP, the committee adopted Amendment Clark 333 to clarify that account funds may support any children enrolled in ECEAP, not just the entitlement population. Members then voted 29-0 with two excused to report the bill out of committee with a due pass recommendation, with supporters emphasizing expanded early learning access and the role of philanthropic funding. For House Bill 2251, dealing with Climate Commitment Act accounts and revenue distribution, staff briefed a proposed substitute and two Dye amendments. The committee rejected both amendments: one would have expanded allowable uses to include items such as buoys, trails, small forest landowner grants, drought and water quality projects, outdoor recreation, and marina support; the other would have restored annual rather than biennial reporting. After debate over revenue priorities, transparency, and the structure of CCA spending, the substitute bill passed 18-12 with one excused. For House Bill 2521, which would allow the Washington State Patrol to set firearm background check fees to cover program costs, the committee considered seven amendments. All were rejected, including proposals to remove indirect costs from the fee calculation, exempt low-income residents, people near less restrictive home placements, veterans and active military, domestic violence victims, counties with fewer officers per capita, and to delay the effective date until Washington no longer has the fewest officers per capita. Supporters argued the bill would make the program cost-based and reduce general fund subsidy; opponents argued it would create barriers to firearm access and lacked oversight. The bill passed 18-12 with one excused and was reported out with a do pass recommendation.

Summary: The committee held public hearings on three bills. House Bill 2365, “Advancing Digital Opportunities for All,” would shift digital equity responsibilities more squarely to the State Broadband Office, rename the Digital Equity Opportunity Program as the Digital Opportunity Program, update the Digital Equity Forum’s duties, and require more regular reporting and coordination on the state digital equity plan. The prime sponsor said the bill is mainly a governance update to align state law with changing federal and state structures. Testimony from community organizations, PTA, and digital navigation providers strongly supported the bill, emphasizing the need for broadband access, devices, digital skills, and online safety, while Commerce testified to technical and fiscal concerns and said amendments were needed to address costs. House Bill 2446 would direct Commerce to develop a state quantum strategy by June 30 using non-state funding if possible, with the goal of identifying growth areas, workforce needs, partnerships, and economic impacts for the quantum industry. The sponsor and supporters from the technology industry, Microsoft, and the Technology Alliance argued that Washington has strong research assets but needs a coordinated strategy to compete with other states. Committee members raised concerns about regulatory capture, cybersecurity, and the need to keep the strategy broad enough to cover quantum communications, networking, and sensing; a friendly amendment was requested to reference “quantum technology” rather than just quantum computing. House Bill 2357 would create a state Civil Air Patrol within the Military Department, allowing the governor to activate it for cadet training, communications, disaster relief, cyber missions, and search and rescue. The Military Department, Civil Air Patrol leadership, and veterans’ representatives supported the bill, saying it would improve coordination and emergency response without changing federal authorities or creating a fiscal impact. The meeting ended with a work session on strengthening Washington’s visitor economy. State of Washington Tourism, the Washington Wine Commission, and industry advisory group members presented recommendations for a more sustainable tourism funding model, centered on an industry-supported assessment and a target annual program budget of about $25 million. They said Washington is underfunded compared with peer western states and could lose billions in visitor spending over the next decade without a stronger, more predictable funding structure. Committee members discussed the importance of statewide benefits, international visitation, and balancing support for urban and rural destinations, and the chair said tourism investment bills would be considered later in the session.

Summary: The committee held public hearings on several bills related to public safety and law enforcement. House Bill 2203 would create the offense of reckless interference with emergency operations for driving on a roadway known to be closed for hazardous conditions, with a gross misdemeanor penalty that could rise to a Class C felony if the conduct leads to rescue or evacuation and injury to a first responder or involves a minor or vulnerable adult. The prime sponsor described the bill as a response to recent flooding and repeated rescues in Orting, and local police supported it. The Sentencing Guidelines Commission opposed the felony section, recommending a traffic infraction for the first level and a gross misdemeanor for the second. Members asked about license suspensions, emergency-response cost recovery, and how the bill would apply to partially restricted roads. House Bill 2293 would bar Washington law enforcement agencies and the Criminal Justice Training Commission from training, partnering, or sending officers to train with foreign militaries, intelligence services, or security services. The sponsor said civilian policing should not be trained like military service and raised concerns about foreign military influence and accountability. Opponents, including the sheriffs and police chiefs association, argued the bill was too broad and undefined, could interfere with useful counterterrorism, border, and best-practice training, and might need carve-outs for Canada and Mexico. The sponsor said amendments and clarification language were being considered, and members discussed the need for more information on what foreign training is actually occurring. House Bill 2165 would create a new gross misdemeanor for false identification as a peace officer by possessing or providing law-enforcement-style badges or insignia identifying someone as an officer when they are not commissioned, or by misrepresenting property as belonging to a law enforcement agency. The sponsor and governor’s office said the bill is meant to prevent impersonation and improve public safety, while preserving exceptions for satire, costumes, and legitimate honorary or reserve designations. Some witnesses supported the concept but urged clearer definitions, especially around federal agencies, vehicles, and overlap with existing criminal impersonation statutes; others raised concerns about liability and whether the bill should be folded into existing law. The chair asked the sponsor and stakeholders to work on amendments. House Bill 2173 would prohibit law enforcement officers from wearing facial coverings while interacting with the public, with exceptions for undercover work, SWAT protective gear, and certain medical or hazardous-condition masks, and would allow a civil cause of action by a detained person. The sponsor said the bill is intended to increase transparency and accountability, especially in response to concerns about masked federal immigration officers, while supporters argued it would build trust and reduce fear. Opponents, including police and city groups, warned about officer safety, doxxing, recruiting and retention, federal-state authority issues, and uncapped civil liability. The committee heard testimony from the governor’s office, faith leaders, police organizations, city representatives, and individual supporters and opponents, but took no final action on any of the bills during the hearing.

Summary: The Committee on Regulated Industries met with a quorum and took up two bills. SB 754, by Senator DeSantis, would define heated tobacco products in statute and exempt them from the cigarette tax. Senator Davis and Senator Bernard asked about the bill’s purpose and youth access; the sponsor said it was intended to recognize a less harmful alternative to cigarettes and would not itself address age restrictions, which he said he would research further. A representative of the Florida Retail Federation appeared in support, and the committee reported the bill favorably. The committee then considered SB 796 on veterinary medicine, which was substantially rewritten by a delete-everything amendment creating a Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA) role. The amendment would allow people with a master’s degree in veterinary clinical care and a national competency exam to perform certain delegated tasks under a veterinarian’s responsible supervision, while barring them from prescribing certain drugs or controlled substances and from most surgery. It also extended telehealth prescription timeframes for flea and tick products and other medications. Senators Boyd and others raised concerns about liability, supervision, and whether the proposal could conflict with federal prescribing rules; Senator Bradley said veterinarian liability remains in existing statute and the bill is meant to expand access and reduce costs. The Florida Veterinary Medical Association opposed the measure, arguing that existing veterinary technicians are already trained for a mid-level role, that the VPA concept is unsafe and unnecessary, and that access problems are better addressed through other proposals such as loan repayment programs and expanded technician roles. Supporters, including the Animal Legal Defense Fund and Dr. Wayne Jensen, argued the bill would help address shortages, improve affordability, and keep care under veterinarian control. After debate, the amendment was adopted and SB 796, as amended, was reported favorably. Senator Calatayud later asked to be recorded as voting yes on tab 1, and the committee adjourned.

Summary: The committee reconvened for decision-making on measures previously heard on February 6, 2025. Senate Bill 1513 was deferred indefinitely based on the testimony and issues raised. Senate Bill 786 was also deferred indefinitely and set aside for interim work on a proposed SD1 that could address the concerns discussed and incorporate ongoing federal changes. Senate Bill 1031 was amended and advanced as a Senate WAP 1; the amended version would allow the legislature to adopt non-binding advisory referendum questions only for general obligation bond proposals, require 30 days’ notice, require the legislature to consider the results, and require a written explanation if the final legislative action opposes the majority vote. The committee also set a far-future effective date and noted that any further review should examine opposition concerns and the fiscal, administrative, and legal implications of the proposal. The measure passed on a yes vote from the vice chair and supporting members, with one member excused. In the joint Government Operations and Water and Land hearing, Senate Bill 411, relating to capital improvement projects for boating and ocean recreation, drew support from the Department of Boating and Ocean Recreation and several written supporters, while Budget and Finance opposed it and the Deputy Attorney General warned it could be challenged because it implied funding without an appropriation. The chair recommended moving the bill with amendments and a defective date, and both committees adopted the recommendation to pass SB 411 with amendments. Senate Bill 1103, relating to community districts, generated substantial discussion and was ultimately recommended for deferral. Testimony raised constitutional and special fund concerns, while the Hawaii Community Development Authority supported the concept but suggested major changes, including clearer governance language, a dedicated staff position, and funding. Members debated whether elected boards would undermine county planning authority and whether the concept was more suitable for Oahu or the Neighbor Islands. Senate Bill 1308, relating to plans, was presented as an administration bill and supported by DAGS. The bill would remove outdated filing requirements, update fee schedules, give DAGS more discretion over plan format, and update drawing scales. A member asked whether it could help replace survey monuments lost in the Lahaina wildfire cleanup; DAGS said it would not directly replace monuments but could help with future mapping and surveying. The chair indicated the committee would note the monument issue in the report and work on technical cleanup language, with the measure moving forward subject to those amendments.

Summary: The House Transportation Committee met on Tuesday, May 5, and considered a long agenda of mostly transportation, public safety, and local infrastructure measures. Among the bills reported favorably were Senate Bill 420, which adds Vermilion and Iberia Parish representation to the Lafayette Metropolitan Expressway Commission; Senate Bill 69, which updates appointments to the South Tangipahoa Parish Port Commission after redistricting; Senate Bill 40, which expands Louisiana’s move-over/safety protections for emergency and disabled vehicles; and House resolutions from Rep. Dickerson urging DOTD action on Highway 16 widening, turn lanes on Highway 1024, and a roundabout on Highway 1019. The committee also advanced HCR 53 creating a study committee on oversized vehicle permits, SB 438 increasing per diem for the Greater Lafourche Port Commission, SB 449 giving the New Orleans Public Belt more procurement flexibility, SB 115 allowing DOTD to assume certain federal NEPA duties to speed project delivery, and SB 489 authorizing third-party verification of vehicle insurance coverage. Members heard testimony on several safety and enforcement measures. SB 151 would flag OMV records for people who owe DNA samples under CODIS-related criminal provisions; State Police explained it would help law enforcement collect required samples and aid cold cases. SB 48 would create driver’s license reciprocity between Louisiana and Ireland, and SB 235 would clarify payment and liquidated damages rules for public contracts, with contractors and industry representatives saying it would help ensure timely payment to contractors, subs, and suppliers. SB 55 clarified that seat belts must be worn across both the lap and shoulder, and SB 278 required ignition interlock devices for DUI-related license reinstatement; committee members raised questions about due process, vehicle use, and how the devices would work, but both bills were reported favorably. Several measures drew more extensive debate. HB 762, as amended, would give OMV discretion over referring certain debts to the Office of Debt Recovery or Attorney General, and the amendment passed 14-2 after discussion about relief for drivers who cannot pay. SB 330 on school-zone automated speed enforcement received an amendment preserving existing compliant pavement markings, but a separate amendment to exempt Shreveport, Gretna, Livonia, and Westwego from the law failed on a roll call vote. HB 714, as substituted, would have created a railroad commission and required railroads to address blighted or abandoned lines, but after concerns about federal preemption, definition of blight, and whether a new commission was needed, Rep. Phelps moved to defer the bill, and the committee agreed. The meeting ended with adjournment after a brief recognition of committee staff and visitors.
