Summary:
The House Revenue and Taxation Committee met on February 24, 2026, and first approved the minutes from February 17 and February 19, 2026. The committee then took up RS 33370 C1, a proposed sales tax exemption/clarification for small sellers and yard sales. Representative Monks explained the bill was intended to clarify how the existing small seller rules apply to multiple yard sales, the $5,000 annual threshold, and when sales tax must be collected. Members raised questions about whether the limit applies to an individual or to a homeowner hosting multiple sellers, and the chair identified a possible drafting issue in the threshold language. At the sponsor’s request, the committee withdrew the motion to introduce and returned RS 33370 C1 to the sponsor for further work.
The committee next heard RS 3344, which would create a low-income/affordable workforce housing property tax exemption with county commissioners able to opt out on a project-by-project basis. Representative Weber said the measure was intended as a local tool to support affordable housing development. Questions focused on the fiscal impact, how the exemption would be administered, whether it would actually result in lower-cost housing, and whether it applied only to property tax or also to sales tax; the witness said it was a property tax exemption only and that qualifying projects must maintain rents affordable to households at 60% of area median income, with annual certification required. Despite some concerns about the uncertain fiscal effect, the committee voted to introduce RS 3344. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The Appropriations Committee on Criminal and Civil Justice met to review its proposed fiscal year 2025-2026 budget, totaling about $7.6 billion. The chair highlighted funding for the Department of Corrections, including health services, food inflation, and prison population growth; the Department of Juvenile Justice for residential beds and higher food/medical costs; FDLE for a law enforcement apprenticeship program and officer wellness services; justice administration for court-appointed attorney rates and VOCA shortfalls; major IT projects; and court operations, including funding for 29 new judges. Members asked about where the new judgeships would go and whether staffing would accompany them, and staff said the judge positions would be listed later in a conforming bill and that associated court staff were included, but not additional state attorney or public defender staffing. Several members also asked whether the budget addressed pay and staffing shortages in state attorneys’ and public defenders’ offices, and staff said those decisions had not yet been finalized.
The committee then heard public testimony from several speakers who urged more funding for prison safety, medical care, and oversight. Speakers described personal experiences involving deaths or serious harm in correctional facilities and jails, alleging inadequate medical treatment, excessive force, isolation, and failures to investigate. One speaker said her son died after being beaten and denied timely medical care in a correctional facility; another said her son was not receiving adequate health care at Charlotte Correctional; and another described her brother’s death in the Marion County Jail after repeated tasing and pepper spraying. The committee adopted a motion allowing staff to make technical adjustments and then approved the committee’s budget proposal as a recommendation to the full Senate Appropriations Committee.
The committee also took up CS for CS SB 48 on alternative judicial procedures and foreclosure sales. Senator Garcia offered an amendment to standardize judicial sales, increase transparency, limit preferences in bidding, preserve public notice requirements, restrict plaintiff credit bids to the amount of the judgment unless a deposit is posted, and prevent deviations from statutory timelines and procedures from being hidden in court orders. Garcia said the bill was intended to close loopholes and protect homeowners, especially condominium owners, from unfair foreclosure practices. A representative for Auction.com said similar laws have been used in other states and offered to provide data. After debate, the amendment was adopted, and the bill passed the committee favorably on a roll call vote.

Summary:
The Senate Judiciary B Committee met on May 27 and first approved the minutes from the May 21 meeting. The committee then took up House Bill 75, as amended, which would increase the promotional play tax deduction for gaming facilities from $5 million to $7 million and apply the change to racetracks and other brick-and-mortar casino properties on a phased-in basis. The bill’s author and gaming industry witnesses said the measure would help Louisiana compete with neighboring states, drive visitation, and support horse racing purses and tourism. The committee adopted the amendments and reported HB 75 favorably.
The committee next considered House Bill 623, which creates a three-tier system for vapor products and includes related technical changes, including a provision allowing in-person delivery of vapor, alternative nicotine, or smokeless tobacco products by third-party contractors from licensed Louisiana retailers with age verification. Amendments were adopted to correct language and address an effective-date issue tied to another bill. The committee then reported HB 623 with amendments.
House Bill 302, which would prohibit the sale of vapor products near schools, was also amended and heard with testimony from the New Orleans Health Department and the American Lung Association. Both witnesses supported youth protections but urged clarifying language to ensure local governments can keep or adopt stricter rules and to avoid conflicts with existing local ordinances; the health department also noted concerns that the bill focuses only on vapor products while youth nicotine use is broader. After discussion, the committee reported HB 302 with amendments. The meeting ended with thanks to staff and members, and the committee adjourned without objection.

Summary:
The House Health and Welfare Committee met with a quorum present and welcomed a new page, Allie Silver, who said she is 17, from Twin Falls, attends I-Succeed Virtual Academy, and hopes to pursue nursing. The committee then took up House Bill 591, a county-requested cleanup bill that repeals the last remaining section of the county medical indigent program, which was repealed in 2022. Representative Redmond presented the bill, and the committee voted to send HB 591 to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
The committee next introduced RS 33469, which would add physical therapists to Idaho’s direct primary care provisions. Representative Furman said the change would allow physical therapists to participate in direct primary care arrangements without expanding their scope of practice, and members asked about whether other professions should be included and whether the bill affected diagnosis authority. The committee voted to introduce the RS.
The committee also introduced RS 33466, a joint memorial supporting the Department of Insurance’s efforts to address Medicare Advantage plan marketing and enrollment practices that Furman said made plans difficult to purchase and reduced broker commissions. He said the memorial would urge CMS to clarify the roles of state insurance departments and CMS and to address bad-faith practices. Finally, the committee introduced RS 33407, which would place the assertive community treatment (ACT) mental health program into statute after budget cuts disrupted the program. Furman argued the program helps people with severe mental illness stay stable in the community, reduces hospital and jail costs, and could save the state money despite a fiscal note; several members questioned funding, enrollment limits, and implementation timing. The chair said he would allow introduction but was not planning to schedule a hearing under the current funding formula, and the committee approved introduction by roll call vote, with 15 ayes and one “maybe.”

Summary:
The committee heard House Bill 153, a proposal focused on industrial decarbonization and manufacturing. The bill would create a voluntary, market-based framework with three main parts: an Environmental Product Declaration program to help manufacturers measure and certify product carbon footprints, an industrial carbon reduction incentive and capital grant program to support lower-carbon production, and a rebate program to encourage purchase of low-carbon construction materials. Supporters said the bill would reduce emissions, strengthen supply chains, create jobs, and help New Mexico attract and grow low-carbon manufacturing.
Members raised concerns about the anti-donation clause, whether the program would actually benefit New Mexico companies, the availability of in-state supply, the cost to the state, and whether a sunset should be added. Sponsors and agency representatives responded that the programs are voluntary, would be implemented through rules with performance and verification requirements, and are backed by a finite appropriation and reporting requirements. They also said the bill is intended to build both supply and demand, with examples cited such as low-carbon cement and engineered wood projects that could reduce emissions and create jobs.
After discussion, the committee moved to a vote on House Bill 153. The motion to do pass was approved, with Senator Scott voting no and several members excused. House Bill 254, which had also been on the agenda, was not heard because the committee was called to the floor.

Summary:
The House opened with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, approved the prior journal, and recognized Dr. Gary Figgi as Doctor of the Day. Members also introduced guests and read a proclamation honoring the Arizona hotel industry for efforts to prevent human trafficking, with remarks emphasizing hotel training, law-enforcement partnerships, and a recent trafficking sting that led to multiple arrests.
On the floor, the House handled several procedural items, including committee substitutions and bill referrals. It then took up third-reading votes on HB 2091, HB 2122, and HB 2138, all of which passed and were transmitted to the Senate. HB 2091 passed 47-11 with 2 not voting, HB 2122 passed 48-10, and HB 2138 passed 54-4 with 2 not voting.
The House resolved into the Committee of the Whole and recommended do-pass on HB 2792 and HCR 2043. HCR 2043 drew brief debate about a congressional term limit convention, with one member noting opposition to the measure and concern about its broader implications. The Committee of the Whole report was adopted, and HB 2792 and HCR 2043 were referred to engrossing. The House then heard announcements about upcoming committee meetings and adjourned until Wednesday, February 4, 2026.

Summary:
The Senate convened with 34 members present and one excused absence, then approved the prior day’s journal. After moving to motions and resolutions, the chamber welcomed the Chief Justice and members of the Idaho judiciary for the annual State of the Judiciary address. The Chief Justice described the courts’ workload, including rising civil caseloads, ongoing criminal and juvenile matters, and the continued use of treatment courts, mediation, remote hearings, self-help services, and online case access tools to improve access and efficiency.
The Chief Justice also highlighted courthouse facility upgrades in several counties, concerns about courthouse security and threats to judges and court staff, and cybersecurity efforts that blocked large numbers of phishing and malicious access attempts. He emphasized civic education efforts, the judiciary’s five governing principles, and the need for continued collaboration with the legislature and counties. The Senate ordered the address spread upon the journal and then returned the Chief Justice to the chamber exit.
In later business, the Senate received Senate Joint Resolution 102, proposing a constitutional amendment related to state trust lands, and referred it to the Judiciary and Rules Committee for printing. The chamber also received two gubernatorial appointments: Estella Zamora to the Idaho Commission on Human Rights and Janet Lawler to the Commission of Pardons and Parole, referring them to the appropriate committees. Two bills were introduced on first reading—Senate Bill 1224 on slow-moving vehicles and Senate Bill 1225 on presidential searches for state higher education institutions—and both were referred to Judiciary and Rules for printing. The Senate then announced a schedule change for America 250-related activities the next day and adjourned until 11 a.m. Thursday, January 22, 2026.
