Summary: The Committee on Regulatory Affairs and Government Efficiency approved the March 11, 2026 minutes and then heard several bills. HB 2686, a patient-protection measure for outpatient surgical facilities, would require surgeons to file and update a call-coverage plan for hospital complications; the sponsor said it would improve continuity of care and reduce emergency room confusion, and the committee recommended it do pass. HB 2051 would require AHCCCS contractors, subject to CMS approval, to cover breastfeeding and lactation services in multiple settings; supporters described it as a maternal and infant health measure, AHCCCS was neutral and noted a projected state cost of about $1.8 million, and the bill received a do-pass recommendation on a 6-0 vote with one member not voting. The committee also approved HB 2837, which requires compensation disclosure for testimony or written comments in municipal zoning matters and requires certain municipal board members or hearing officers to disclose and recuse for recent conflicts involving entities they served; the sponsor framed it as a transparency and conflict-of-interest bill, and it passed 6-0 with one not voting. HB 2875, concerning commercial drone delivery systems, was amended to allow local regulation of drone facilities near medium and large hub airports within a 2.5-mile buffer and to require consultation with airports; Zipline and industry groups supported the measure as providing regulatory clarity, and the committee adopted the amendment and recommended the bill do pass. HB 2324 would let cities with their own fire codes, through an intergovernmental agreement, have city fire inspectors enforce those codes on county-owned buildings in city limits when state enforcement is burdensome; county and fire officials said it would resolve jurisdictional confusion, and the bill passed 6-0 with one not voting. HB 2439 would exempt single-user public or semi-public cold plunges from ADEQ spa rules, and an amendment removed ADEQ rulemaking authority; county health representatives said the change would reduce confusion, but one member raised public-health concerns, and the amended bill passed 4-2 with one not voting. HB 2457 would allow utilities to bypass the certificate of environmental compatibility process for new plants co-located with large electricity users after notice and a public comment session; the Sierra Club opposed it as reducing public review, while supporters said it preserved some local input and improved efficiency, and it passed 4-2 with one not voting. Finally, HB 2953 would cap certain nondisciplinary and civil penalties imposed by the Board of Pharmacy at $25,000 and allow lower penalties based on prior activity; a supporter said it matched limits used in other regulatory contexts, and the committee recommended it do pass unanimously.

Summary: The committee heard testimony on HB 2614, which would require merchants selling cosmetics to accept returns of newer unopened goods within specified time frames and expand signage requirements for return and refund policies. DCCA’s Office of Consumer Protection strongly supported the bill, citing updated figures of 180 cosmetic complaints from 2020 to 2025, 54 still under investigation, 148 referred to class action litigation, and more than $1.3 million in consumer losses. Members questioned whether the bill was needed given the pending lawsuit and whether bad actors would comply, while the office responded that clearer signage would improve consumer awareness and could reduce complaints without limiting other remedies. No vote was taken. The committee then heard HB 1660 HD1, which would allow counties to require contractors to disclose wage, benefit, hour, and employment-status information and to deny, revoke, or suspend permits for certain labor-law violations. DLIR, the Hawaii Regional Council of Carpenters, Operating Engineers Local 3, and Pacific Resource Partnership testified in support, arguing the measure would help deter cheating contractors, protect law-abiding employers, and keep bad actors from undercutting wages and taxes. One member raised concerns about possible delays to affordable housing projects and whether owners should be held responsible for contractors’ misconduct; supporters replied that compliance is a minimum standard, that county action would be discretionary rather than automatic, and that the bill would not bar counties from working with affordable housing developers. No action was reported. Finally, the committee took up HB 1704, adopting the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact to allow telepsychology and temporary in-person practice across state lines. The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the State Health Planning and Development Agency, the Hawaii State Association of Counties, and the Hawaii Association of Health Plans supported the measure, saying it would help fill major staffing gaps, especially for forensic evaluations and services in rural and neighbor-island communities. The Board of Psychology raised concerns about the compact’s scope, the need for a study focused specifically on psychologists, background-check requirements, possible loss of regulatory authority and revenue, and the need to update older statutory provisions. Hawaii Association for Justice opposed the immunity language in the compact, and Shawn Scanlon opposed the bill, arguing it could weaken cultural responsiveness and local control and suggesting the state instead improve temporary licensing and other in-state pathways. The committee also questioned the Department of Corrections about its vacancies and whether telehealth could be filled by local providers; no vote was taken in the excerpt.

Summary: The Commission on Unemployment Compensation met with a quorum present, introduced new members and staff, and elected Delegate Destiny LeVere Bolling as chair and Senator Mike Jones as vice chair. The commission also adopted its electronic meeting policy. The Secretary of Labor and Virginia Employment Commission leadership then gave introductory remarks about the labor secretariat, VEC’s role, and the administration’s focus on workforce stability, transparency, and access to services. Staff provided a legislative update on recent unemployment-related bills. Marvie Ali reviewed the commission’s statutory duties and noted that HB 1320 and SB 759 increased the weekly unemployment benefit amount by $48 effective July 1, 2026, following a prior $52 increase in 2025 that together fulfilled the commission’s earlier recommendation to raise benefits by $100. She also summarized HB 1319, which would have set a 26-week maximum duration but was continued to 2027, the budget item providing $75,000 for actuarial support, and SB 433, which changed labor-dispute disqualification rules so certain locked-out workers may receive benefits. Staff also reported that the 2025 work group studying annual benefit adjustments did not complete its work, and members discussed reinstating it at a future meeting. VEC Deputy Commissioner Joanna Darkus presented an extensive overview of the unemployment insurance system, including eligibility rules, tax structure, benefit levels, claims trends, trust fund solvency, fraud prevention, and implementation of recent legislation. She said Virginia’s unemployment rate remains low by historical standards, but claim durations and benefit outflows have increased, and the trust fund balance factor is projected at 50.9%, near the statutory trigger for additional employer charges. Members asked about the taxable wage base, employer tax rates, solvency, staffing during the pandemic, and implementation of paid family and medical leave. Darkus said VEC is using ID.me, improving controls, and preparing for paid family and medical leave through regulations, staffing, IT procurement, public comment, and listening sessions. During public comment, a Virginia Poverty Law Center representative urged the commission to strengthen the UI system through state action, warning that federal funding and oversight are unreliable and arguing that Virginia should invest in benefits, administration, and modernization. The meeting ended with no further business and adjournment.

Summary: The Virginia 250 Commission met to review progress on the Commonwealth’s semiquincentennial planning and related business. Members approved the January 8, 2026 minutes, adopted the annual electronic/virtual meeting policy, and received updates on fundraising, advisory councils, partner institutions, and upcoming signature events. Reports highlighted strong donor support for Virginia Commemoration, Inc., with total gifts, pledges, and in-kind support reaching about $8.7 million and more than $2 million in pending requests. A major portion of the meeting focused on 2026 signature programming, including the Tribal Nations Leadership Advisory Council’s event at the Williamsburg Lodge, African-American Advisory Council initiatives such as African Landing Day, the African Landing Memorial opening at Fort Monroe, Juneteenth programming, and nationally broadcast July 4th events in Williamsburg. Other partners reported on exhibits and programming at Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, Mount Vernon, and other historic sites. Carly Fiorina also announced that Virginia 250 and PBS will partner on a live national broadcast of the July 4th celebration, branded “America Made in Virginia.” The commission reviewed and approved the VA 250 and VCI budgets and the reopening of the grant-making process through Virginia Tourism and Virginia Humanities. Members discussed transparency, projected surpluses, and the possibility of later evaluating the economic return on the commission’s work. The body also adopted a resolution naming Carly Fiorina principal executive and Frank Sadler acting executive director, effective January 30, 2026, and ratifying their prior actions on behalf of the commission. Before adjournment, members discussed the Powhatan Mantle and ongoing conversations about its possible exhibition or custodial care involving Virginia tribes and the Ashmolean Museum. The meeting ended with comments reflecting on the commission’s inclusive approach to commemoration and a motion to adjourn in honor of Thomas Jefferson, which was approved.

Summary: The committee heard several resolutions related to water, coastal management, and permitting. Early measures included SCR 8 on faster county action for certain home-modification permits for older adults and people with disabilities, SCR 40 on banning disposable body boards, SCR 83 on creating a lithium-ion battery disposal facility, SCR 179 on enforcing Maui fire-code provisions for brush clearance and emergency access, and SCR 90 on kupuna-friendly permit requirements. No testifiers were present for those measures, and the chair moved through them without taking votes in the portion provided. The most extensive discussion was on SCR 94, endorsing Waikiki as a world surfing reserve, and SCR 159, urging shared guiding principles for restoring and maintaining Waikiki’s beaches and shoreline. University of Hawaii testimony said the surfing-reserve designation would bring recognition, could help attract grants, and would require a stewardship committee and management plan, but would not itself block beach nourishment or shoreline restoration. Members asked about possible effects on dredging, beach nourishment, and shoreline structures; the witness said impacts on surfing were not expected to be immediate or significant. For SCR 159, the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development supported the resolution but requested clarifying amendments to broaden references to law, stakeholder collaboration, and coastal science expertise. The Waikiki Beach Special Improvement District Association also supported the measure, emphasizing coordinated maintenance, public access, and the economic importance of Waikiki beaches, while noting that existing legal agreements and court decisions should be reflected in the resolution. The discussion also covered whether the state and private owners share repair and maintenance obligations for Waikiki seawalls; testimony said existing agreements remain relevant but must yield to current law. The committee also heard SCR 165 designating March as Water Month, with support from the Board of Water Supply and others, and SCR 177 requesting DAGS to convene a cooperative working group on state projects needing county permits. Mary Alice Evans said the latter would help expedite permitting, especially for housing and other state projects, and would complement efforts to standardize county permitting processes. No final votes or dispositions were announced in the excerpt provided.
