Summary:
The Hawaii State Senate Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection met in decision-making session and took up a series of previously heard bills. SB 21 on water carriers was passed with amendments to make the inflationary cost-indexed adjustment mechanism permissive rather than required, along with technical changes and a non-defective effective date. SB 133 on energy was passed with amendments adopting PUC recommendations and changing the effective date to July 1, 2050. SB 391 on recycling, creating an end-of-life lithium-ion battery management working group, was passed unamended. SB 532 on DOE medication administration in public schools was passed with amendments incorporating Hawaii State Center for Nursing proposals and a defective effective date. SB 230 on wild game meat donations was passed with technical amendments and a July 1, 2050 defective date.

Summary:
The Joint Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works met to receive public testimony and act on port priority applications for inclusion in the FY 2027-2028 Port Priority Construction and Development Priority Programs. After a roll call showing 18 members present, the committee adopted the March 9, 2026 minutes without objection. Commissioner Andrew Killshaw of the Office of Multimodal Commerce explained the Port Priority Program criteria and presented two applications from the Avoyelles Harbor and Terminal District: a $3.4 million building addition and infrastructure project requesting $2.853 million in state funds, and a $1.5 million Workforce Training Center redevelopment requesting $1.287 million. He said the projects were projected to create 265 jobs and generate substantial state benefits, with very high benefit-cost ratios.
Members expressed support for the projects and for strengthening the port program overall. Chairman Boriak moved to approve the applications, and Senator Carter and others discussed the need to increase investment in ports and develop a statewide strategic plan to better compete for federal dollars. DOTD Multimodal Commerce staff, including Molly Bergoin, testified that the program has more than $200 million in backlog, that annual Transportation Trust Fund financing has made it difficult to reduce, and that the department hopes to clear 10 to 12 low-balance projects this year. They also said the request cap had been increased to $7 million per project this year and up to $21 million going forward, and that most projects are proceeding under reimbursement agreements because construction costs have risen sharply.
After discussion, the committee voted without objection to accept the port priority applications received through March 1, 2026, for the FY 2027-2028 program. The committee then adjourned without objection.

Summary:
The Civil Law and Procedure Committee met at 10:15 a.m. on May 26 and established a quorum. The first item was House Resolution 307 by Representative Dana Henry, which would create a task force to study expropriation, acquisition, and related issues tied to economic development in New Orleans East and the Louisiana International Terminal project. The resolution was described as focused on identifying underdeveloped parcels, clarifying ownership, and ensuring due process and safeguards against illegal takings. The chair moved to report H.R. 307 favorably, and it was reported favorably without objection.
The committee then considered Senate Bill 228 by Senator Duplessis, a proposed constitutional amendment to allow public funds to be used to replace drinking water utility service lines on private property, specifically to enable use of federal funds for lead pipe replacement on both sides of the water meter. Testimony from the sponsor and Paul Rainwater emphasized that the measure is narrowly tailored, intended to avoid the Constitution’s donation prohibition, and needed to access already-granted federal money. Members discussed why a constitutional amendment was necessary, whether the wording should specify federal funds, and whether the proposal could confuse voters.
A draft 6.8A report recommended reporting SB 228 without amendments and noted a possible conflict with House Bill 603 because both measures amend the same constitutional section. The committee adopted the 6.8A report without objection, then approved a motion to report SB 228 without amendments. The meeting adjourned without further action.

Summary:
The Assembly Appropriations Committee met on April 15, 2026, for a regular order hearing on 38 bills. The chair announced that AB 2457 was pulled to a later hearing, reviewed public testimony rules, established a quorum, and approved the consent calendar in two motions. Bills on the consent calendar were moved either to the Assembly floor consent calendar or to the floor non-consent calendar, and the suspense calendar was deemed approved as read.
The committee then heard AB 1917 by Assemblymember Schultz, which would require prosecutors to file an 871.5 motion to reinstate felony charges dismissed at a preliminary hearing for lack of probable cause, rather than simply adding the charges back. The author and supporters, including the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office, Californians for Safety and Justice, California Attorneys for Criminal Justice, and several advocacy groups, argued the bill would improve due process, transparency, and court efficiency by reducing unnecessary litigation and costs. No opposition testimony was presented.
After questions and a motion, the committee took a roll call vote on AB 1917. Members voting were recorded as aye, and the bill passed out of committee. The hearing then concluded and the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The Assembly Appropriations Committee met on April 15, 2026, to consider 38 bills. The chair announced that AB 2457 was held over to a later hearing, reviewed public testimony procedures, established a quorum, and then took up the consent calendar and suspense calendar. Bills on the consent calendar were approved in two motions: one set for floor consent eligibility and another for bills not eligible for floor consent. The suspense calendar was then deemed approved, covering a large group of bills including ABs 1539, 1602, 1604, 1616, 1618, 1707, 1731, 1737, 1746, 1754, 1787, 1788, 1827, 1861, 1866, 1877, 1941, 1960, 2115, 2462, 2472, 2494, 2593, and 2607.
The committee then heard AB 1917 by Mr. Schultz, which would require prosecutors to file a motion to reinstate a felony charge dismissed at the preliminary hearing for lack of probable cause, rather than simply adding the charge back. The author and supporter Tal Clement of the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office argued the bill would improve due process, transparency, and court efficiency by reducing unnecessary litigation and ensuring charges are supported by evidence. Support was also noted from the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office and several allied organizations, while no opposition testimony was presented.
After discussion, the committee moved the bill and later completed a roll call vote. AB 1917 passed out of committee with recorded ayes from members including Pacheco and Calderon, and the chair announced the bill was out. The hearing then adjourned.

Summary:
The IT Budget and Policy Subcommittee met with a quorum present and heard two bills. CS/HB 783 by Rep. Sapp would create a coordinated access model pilot program for behavioral health services in Duval, Clay, and St. Johns counties. The bill would contract with the Department of Children and Families and a university partner to provide centralized intake, screening, referral, appointment scheduling, follow-up, and data reporting on outcomes and service gaps. Rep. Young asked about avoiding bottlenecks and what “timely referral” means; Sapp said the proposal is based on an existing Pinellas model and is intended to triage cases by urgency. An amendment clarifying procurement guidelines was adopted without objection, and the bill was reported favorably by a 14-0 vote.
The committee then heard HB 1031 by Rep. Rosenwald, which would establish a callback queue pilot program for select state agencies, including Florida Commerce and DCF, so callers can leave a number and receive a return call by the end of the next business day. Rosenwald said the goal is to improve customer service for issues such as reemployment assistance and benefits access, with no fiscal impact and a required report due by December 31, 2027. Rep. Cross spoke in support, noting callback systems reduce frustration for callers. The bill passed unanimously and was reported favorably by a 14-0 vote.
At the end of the meeting, the chair noted that budget recommendations for fiscal year 2026-2027 had been submitted to Chair McClure. With no further business, the committee adjourned.

- Thank you for your testimony. Thank you for your testimony.
Summary:
The conference committee on Senate Bill 2133 met to resolve the remaining disagreement over fees for a proposed blackout specialty license plate. The Senate held to a $25 annual fee after dropping an initial $15 fee, while the House argued for $10 or, at most, $20, saying the plate does not support a cause and should be priced to encourage use. Members also discussed whether the plate should be treated like other specialty plates and whether any revenue should be dedicated to a specific purpose, but no particular cause was identified.
The Department of Transportation testified that the $25 annual fee would go into the highway distribution fund, the same as personalized plate fees, and explained that the fund is distributed to the state, counties, and townships. DOT estimated the blackout plate could be very popular, projecting about 10% of eligible vehicles and motorcycles might choose it, based on experience in Minnesota and other states. Members noted that Minnesota saw strong demand even with higher fees.
After discussion, the committee moved and adopted the Corey amendment setting the annual fee at $25. The roll call showed support from the Senate chair and Senator Paulson, with Representative Johnston voting no and Representatives Casper and Hendricks voting yes. With the amendment adopted, the committee reached agreement and adjourned, with Senate and House members designated to carry the report forward.
