Summary:
The Senate Committee on Banking and Insurance met with a quorum present and took up a full agenda of bills, beginning with SB 1286 by Sen. Wright. That bill expanded the state recruitment bonus program to include newly employed firefighters, created a DFS grant review panel, and established a PTSD institute within DFS for first-responder behavioral health. Fire chiefs, the Florida League of Cities, and others supported the measure, and the committee reported it favorably.
The committee then considered SB 198 on virtual currency kiosks by Sen. Rousan. A substitute amendment was adopted that clarified daily transaction limits, registration requirements, expiration rules, and OFR authority to deny registrations. Testimony focused on protecting seniors from crypto-ATM scams while giving the industry regulatory certainty. The committee also favorably reported CS/SB 198. Members next approved CS/SB 772, which allows portable electronics limited licensees to sell eyewear insurance, and CS/SB 1504, which updates insurance customer representative licensing pathways by allowing a high school insurance and personal finance course to count toward pre-licensure education.
The committee also favorably reported Sen. Gruters’ CS/SB 1038 and CS/SB 1040, which together create the Florida Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve and its trust fund framework, and CS/SB 1440, which expands public records exemptions and cybersecurity-related protections for financial institutions, loan originators, money service businesses, and credit unions. Sen. Burton’s SB 1668 on the NICA program drew extensive testimony from a NICA board member and family advocate, who urged stronger funding to preserve lifelong care for catastrophically injured children; the bill was reported favorably despite concerns from the Florida Justice Association about benefit restrictions and retroactivity. Finally, the committee approved CS/SB 570, creating a DFS task force on payment scams, after an amendment reduced FDLE’s required representation. At the end of the meeting, Sen. Burton requested to be recorded in the affirmative on SB 1286, and Sen. Passidomo requested affirmative votes on tabs 3, 5, and 9; the committee then adjourned.

Summary:
The committee met with a quorum and briefly treated the session as an organizational meeting after an earlier hearing that had been difficult to manage. The chair thanked witnesses for their efforts, noting that some had traveled long distances, including nursing students from Mississippi University for Women, a witness from Los Angeles, and another who had come after working overnight in the emergency room at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. The chair also announced committee changes: Senator England and Senator Boyd were new members, Senator Boyd was absent, and Senator Parks was the new vice chair.
The main policy discussion focused on anticipated committee work for the year. The chair said a previously passed certificate-of-need bill, vetoed by the governor over one provision, would likely be reintroduced without the objectionable section and sent to the governor early in the session. He also said he was cautious about co-legislation because of unintended consequences, but identified several areas that seemed likely to receive attention, including rural and small hospitals, dialysis, mental health care, and daycare availability as a workforce issue.
On hospitals, the chair said small and rural hospitals were struggling because shorter stays and outpatient procedures had shifted revenue away from hospitals, and he suggested looking for ways to capture some of that revenue to support hospital operations. He expressed doubt that outpatient dialysis at small hospitals would be practical, but said the committee would likely consider it. He also said the committee was likely to look at mental health care and public welfare issues, especially daycare affordability and availability. No substantive votes were taken beyond a motion to rise and report, which passed.

Summary:
The joint committees on Energy and Intergovernmental Affairs and Health and Human Services heard Senate Concurrent Resolution 58 and Senate Resolution 42, which urge counties to install special-needs recreational playground equipment in parks and playgrounds. Testimony came from the Disability and Communication Access Board, the Hawaii State Council on Developmental Disabilities, the Disability Rights Center, Autism Moms of Kona, and a Pacific Disability Center representative, all supporting the resolutions. Several testifiers asked that the term “special needs” be replaced with “access and functional needs,” and one requested language broadening the measure to explicitly include developmentally and intellectually disabled youth. A committee member also discussed the need for inclusion and the benefits of accessible play for all children.
After questions, the chairs said they would adopt amendments from the Disability and Communication Access Board, Autism Moms of Kona, and Tina Marie Kira, along with technical, non-substantive changes. Both committees then voted to recommend passage of SCR 58 and SR 42 with amendments, with members voting aye and some excused.
The committees then heard Senate Concurrent Resolution 163 and Senate Resolution 132, which request counties to adopt flexible setback requirements for state buildings and facilities to improve land use efficiency and public service delivery. Testimony in support came from the Grassroots Institute and the Department of Accounting and General Services. The chairs moved the resolutions forward with technical, non-substantive amendments, and both committees adopted recommendations to pass SCR 163 and SR 132 with amendments before adjourning.

Summary:
The House Committee on Agriculture and Livestock met with a quorum present and heard several bills, all of which were left pending. HB 1113, by Rep. Cain, would update Texas hemp law to keep state rules aligned with federal changes, require timely rule amendments by the Department of Agriculture, and create hemp research permits for universities and nonprofits. Supporters from the Texas Hemp Coalition said it would improve research, licensing, testing, and enforcement while helping the industry stay compliant and competitive; the author said the bill was intended to reward good actors and deter bad ones.
HB 1203, by Rep. Gonzalez, would create an Office of Food System Security and Resiliency within the Department of Agriculture to address food insecurity and coordinate local food access efforts. Gonzalez said the office would build on a prior Department of Agriculture study and help connect farmers, agencies, schools, and local governments; members asked about the fiscal note, consumer costs, and whether the office would overlap with existing programs. HB 1269, HB 1276, and HB 1277 focused on plant disease and pest prevention, including a grant program and studies to identify gaps and track outbreaks. Gonzalez emphasized the need for a more intentional state response, citing crop losses from pests and a recent cotton disease outbreak in his district.
HB 1437 would create a pollinator task force to address threats to Texas honeybees and related pollination industries. A Texas Beekeepers Association witness described major recent colony losses, emerging threats such as mites and hornets, and the need to bring agencies and researchers together; Gonzalez noted prior work adding a bee specialist at AgriLife Extension. Finally, HB 147, by Chairman Guillen, would modernize cattle brand registration by moving it to an electronic system at the Texas Animal Health Commission while keeping county clerks involved. Supporters said it would improve efficiency, accuracy, and access for ranchers and law enforcement, while an opponent warned about possible electronic tracking implications and costs for small producers. The committee took no final votes and adjourned after leaving HB 147 pending as well.

Summary:
The joint hearing of the Government Operations and Transportation, Culture and the Arts committees considered three bills. SB 1092 would establish a transportation demand management program for state employees, including a parking cash-out option. Testimony was largely in support, including from state planning, energy, labor, and several individuals, while committee members raised concerns about whether the program was mandatory and whether there was a full implementation plan. The bill’s proponents said it was voluntary and intended to reduce long parking waitlists by incentivizing employees to opt out of parking. The committees ultimately recommended SB 1092 be passed with amendments, and the measure was adopted in both committees.
SB 1093 would create a parking demand management program and require DAGS to transition state employees from monthly parking to daily-rate parking. Testimony included strong opposition from most individuals and several agencies, with one supporter. A committee question focused on the loss of pre-tax payroll deductions under a daily-rate system, and the Deputy Attorney General explained that the current monthly arrangement allows deductions from gross pay, which would not work the same way with daily payments. Given the opposition and concerns, the committees recommended deferral indefinitely.
SB 1121 would establish a procurement preference, beginning in 2027, for construction companies with electric vehicles. Testimony included comments from DAGS, the Department of Transportation, and others, with opposition noted from DOT. Committee members questioned charging infrastructure and battery disposal for electric vehicles used in construction. After discussion, the committees concluded it was in the best interest to defer the measure.

- Public emergency shelter during a storm or catastrophe event is exempt from public records and inspection
Summary:
The Committee on Governmental Oversight and Accountability met and first postponed Senate Bill 350. It then took up several Open Government Sunset Review bills, most of them extending or preserving public records or public meeting exemptions. Senate Bill 7000, relating to emergency shelter information for persons provided public emergency shelter during storms or catastrophes, was amended to set a new sunset date of October 2, 2031, and reported favorably. Senate Bill 7002, concerning Department of Military Affairs records in Department of Defense systems, was similarly amended to extend the sunset date to October 2, 2031 and reported favorably. Senate Bill 7012, dealing with Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles records on motor vehicle registration, dealer licensing, driver licenses, and private inspection providers, was amended to conform the effective date with the House companion and reported favorably.
The committee also approved Senate Bill 7006, which preserves public meeting and records exemptions for portions of Florida Public Service Commission hearings involving confidential proprietary business information, and Senate Bill 7008, which preserves similar exemptions for Florida Gaming Control Commission meetings and records. Senate Bill 7004, concerning conviction integrity unit investigation information, was explained as maintaining confidentiality for reinvestigation materials during active innocence reviews and was reported favorably without amendment. Later, Senate Bill 7014, on Department of Legal Affairs records related to investigations of social media platforms, was taken up as a committee substitute that extended the repeal date for two exemptions from October 2026 to October 2031 and was reported favorably.
Finally, Senate Bill 7016, which preserves the exemption for certain financial information held by an economic development agency for administration of small business loan programs, was reported favorably without amendment. No opposition or public testimony was presented on the bills, and the committee adopted the amendments and committee substitute by voice vote before taking recorded roll-call votes. At the end of the meeting, members were invited to record missed votes, and the committee adjourned.
