Summary:
The committee first heard House Memorial 45, which asked the Water Quality Control Commission to promptly hear a petition seeking consideration of the beneficial reuse of treated produced water. The sponsor and supporters argued that produced water could help conserve freshwater, support agriculture and rural communities, and potentially aid compact obligations with Texas and industrial users. The committee also heard extensive opposition from acequia leaders, environmental groups, and residents who said the science is not yet sufficient, the water contains unknown or proprietary contaminants, and the memorial could pressure regulators or shift pollution burdens to other communities. After questions focused on the meaning of a memorial, the status of the petition, and the role of the Produced Water Research Consortium, a motion to table HM 45 passed, with members explaining they wanted the petition in hand before acting.
The committee then took up House Bill 276, which appropriates $3.3 million to NMSU for the New Mexico Department of Agriculture to support celebration of the 400-year anniversary of winemaking in New Mexico. Supporters described the bill as a statewide agritourism and economic development effort tied to New Mexico’s long wine history, with marketing, signage, and tourism promotion intended to benefit wineries across the state. Members asked about the funding source, the anniversary date, and whether the effort would include wineries outside the south; the sponsor said the campaign would highlight wineries statewide. The committee voted do pass on HB 276.
Finally, the committee heard House Bill 300, which would appropriate funds for the care and management of free-roaming horses and related domestic horse management, with an emphasis on tribal and local herd-control efforts using fertility control and trained community members. Supporters said the program would help address overpopulation, grazing impacts, and roadway safety, while opponents questioned relocation plans and whether the money should be spread across more counties. The sponsor and expert witness said trained personnel were already in place and the funds would support implementation. After discussion, the committee voted do pass on HB 300. The meeting ended with notice that the committee would meet again Saturday to hear House Bill 207.

Summary:
The committee heard a presentation from Florida High School Athletic Association Executive Director Craig Damon, joined by student athletes Sydney Daniel and Taylor White, on current issues in high school sports. Damon said the association received more than 309 allegations this year, including 113 recruiting complaints, but only two coaches were suspended for recruiting violations, and those were self-reported. He focused on rising sportsmanship problems, violent incidents, and ejections, saying the association is working with coaches and athletic administrators on prevention and positive-behavior campaigns. He also discussed mental health pressures on student athletes, the effects of frequent transfers and school choice on team stability and community pride, and the need for more qualified coaches on campus who understand interscholastic rules and student support responsibilities. Senators asked about the transfer system, violent conduct, and whether the association would propose changes; Damon said he would support guardrails that protect school choice while limiting midseason athletic transfers.
The committee then took up a panel on high school coaches’ compensation led by Florida Coaches Coalition Executive Director Dr. Andrew Ramgett, with Coach Mike Hickman, Coach Charlie Ward, and superintendents from Okaloosa and Walton counties. Ramgett argued that coaching supplements are outdated, often amounting to very low hourly pay despite year-round duties, and said Florida’s system has not kept pace with increased responsibilities, inflation, or neighboring states. He also criticized restrictions on booster-club support, minimal coaching certification requirements, and turnover among coaches, and urged changes that would allow coaches to negotiate fairer compensation and receive external funding. Hickman and Ward emphasized the long hours, family strain, and mentoring role of coaches, while the superintendents said districts face finite budgets and must balance coach pay against teacher, bus driver, and other staffing needs; they also warned that booster-funded pay could create inequities between wealthy and less affluent communities. Senators discussed whether booster-club funding should be allowed, whether compensation should vary by performance, and whether any new funding should be categorical.
Public comment followed from Florida Athletic Coaches Association Executive Director Shelton Cruz and former coach Tyrone McGriff, both of whom stressed the broader educational and safety impact of coaches and asked lawmakers to support the next generation of coaches. After the presentations, the committee took up confirmation hearings for appointments on tabs 3 through 6 and, by a single roll-call vote, recommended all appointees favorably. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The committee first considered RS 33512, a bill to update county pest-control authority by specifically including rats as pests and cleaning up related language in the code. Members debated whether to also mention wolves or coyote in the predatory-animal language, with concerns about redundancy and unintended consequences. The committee ultimately adopted an amended substitute motion that struck the specific coyote reference, and the RS was introduced.
The committee then heard HCR 27, which recognizes the Idaho connection to Wake Island and honors Idahoans and Morrison-Knudsen employees who were involved in the World War II attack and subsequent prisoner-of-war experience. The resolution was moved to the floor with a due-pass recommendation. HCR 29 followed, a resolution by Representative Hill to identify the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as terrorist organizations for Idaho policy purposes. Some members raised concerns about the scope, accuracy, and federal overlap, but the committee still voted to send the resolution to the floor with a due-pass recommendation, with recorded no votes from Representatives Church and Haas.
Finally, the committee considered HB 575 on asset forfeiture reporting. The bill would require state and local law enforcement to submit forfeiture information to the State Controller for storage and publication, with the sponsor saying the controller could absorb the work and that the bill would improve transparency. After questions about scope and fiscal impact, the committee voted to send HB 575 to General Orders.

Summary:
The committee first approved the minutes from prior meetings and agreed to reorder the agenda. It then heard House Bill 673, which would require legislative candidates to have lived in the district for at least 120 days before the filing deadline, clarifying residency intent for House and Senate races. Members asked about possible constitutional issues and redistricting timing, and the bill was sent to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
The committee also introduced RS 33171, allowing cities to apply to join the state insurance pool at their own expense, and RS 33289, a cleanup bill to correct election-date language for soil and water conservation districts, mail-in-ballot-only precincts, and canvassing timelines. Members raised questions about district structure and election logistics, but both RS measures were introduced.
Two additional RS proposals were introduced: RS 33343, a bill aimed at strengthening penalties and enforcement around sextortion, especially involving minors, and RS 3355, a concurrent resolution condemning the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations. Finally, House Bill 549 was heard, which would remove the property-owner signature requirement from hospital district dissolution petitions and leave only the elector-signature requirement. Testimony in support said the current law is difficult to administer, especially in resort areas with many nonresident property owners, and the bill was sent to the floor with a due pass recommendation.

Summary:
The committee first approved minutes from prior meetings and agreed to reorder the agenda. It then heard House Bill 673, which would require legislative candidates to have lived in their district for at least 120 days before filing, clarifying residency intent for House and Senate races. The sponsor said the bill is narrowly aimed at legislative offices and could be revisited later if redistricting creates timing issues. The committee moved HB 673 to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
Members also introduced several RS measures. RS 33171 would let Idaho cities apply to join the state insurance pool, with the sponsor saying cities would pay all costs and could decide whether the arrangement saves money. RS 33289 was described as an election cleanup bill to fix missed references for soil and water conservation districts, mail-in-ballot-only precincts, and canvassing timelines; members asked questions about district elections and ballot logistics. RS 33343 would strengthen criminal penalties for sextortion, especially involving minors, by making threats to expose intimate images actionable even if the images are never shared; the sponsor emphasized the harm to children and the need for early intervention. All three RS measures were introduced.
The committee then heard House Bill 549, which would amend hospital district dissolution petition rules by requiring signatures from electors only, rather than both electors and property owners. The sponsor and a remote testifier said the current property-owner requirement is difficult or nearly impossible to verify in areas with many nonresident property owners and is inconsistent with other initiative laws. After testimony, the committee sent HB 549 to the floor with a due pass recommendation. The meeting adjourned after completing its work.

Summary:
The joint protocol session for the 31st Annual Indian Nations and Tribes Legislative Day opened with a blessing, presentation of the colors, the national anthem, and the Pledge of Allegiance. House Speaker Steve Montenegro and Senate President Warren Petersen welcomed tribal leaders and emphasized the importance of government-to-government collaboration, tribal sovereignty, and continued partnership on issues affecting Arizona.
The main address was delivered by Fort Mojave Indian Tribe Chairman Timothy Williams, who focused on water, sovereignty, economic development, and border issues. He warned that Colorado River negotiations and the expiration of interim guidelines require tribes to be included in any future water-management framework, noting that Arizona tribes hold senior federally recognized water rights. He also highlighted tribal economic enterprises, schools, jobs, and public services funded by tribal revenue, and urged the Legislature to consult tribes on any water agreement.
Tohono O'odham Nation Chairman Verlin Jose spoke about the Nation’s size, its role as a major employer, and the need for unity in the face of federal policy changes and cuts. He stressed border security on tribal lands, saying the Nation has spent millions annually on border-related efforts and has seen success through cooperative agreements without a fixed wall. He also emphasized water conservation, the importance of the Colorado River and CAP, and the economic benefits of tribal gaming, which he said has contributed billions to Arizona’s state and local governments while supporting tribal infrastructure and services. The session concluded with an introduction for a poetry reading by Dr. Laura Tohi of the Navajo Nation; no votes or legislative actions were taken.

The Senate met briefly to receive first-reading referrals of a large number of bills, resolutions, and joint resolutions. The measures covered a wide range of topics, including public education, health care, criminal justice, business regulation, transportation, water and natural resources, local government, taxation, elections, and public information. Many of the filings were by Senators Hughes, Perry, Alvarado, Creighton, Hancock, Parker, Zaffirini, Blanco, and others, and included proposals on school safety, health records and billing, election procedures, water planning, housing and rent issues, energy and environmental regulation, and criminal penalties.

No debate, testimony, or substantive action on the merits of the measures occurred in this portion of the transcript; the items were simply read and referred to committees.

Summary:
The committee began with Article I budget items for the Secretary of State. LBB staff outlined recommendations that would reduce the agency’s appropriation by about $40.3 million, including changes to HAVA funding, removal of one-time business system replacement money, and a rider directing the agency to use Fund 5095 first. Secretary Jane Nelson and staff then defended several exceptional items, especially additional staffing for elections and business filings, a new website, digitization of records, cybersecurity tools, and renovation of the James Earl Rudder Building. Members focused heavily on election administration, cross-checking voter rolls, Harris County complaints, call-center response times, and whether online voter registration should be expanded. No votes were taken; the discussion was informational and budget-focused.
The committee then heard the Office of the Governor and trustee programs. LBB presented a recommended $2.4 million decrease for the governor’s office proper and a much larger decrease in trustee programs driven by one-time funding and unexpended balances, while still preserving major border security funding and victim assistance funding. Governor’s staff emphasized Texas’ economic growth, the importance of border security, and efforts to seek federal reimbursement for the roughly $11 billion Texas has spent on border operations. Members discussed whether shifting National Guard deployment to federal control could reduce state costs, and they also reviewed the music incubator program, the Governor’s University Research Initiative, and the semiconductor innovation consortium. Staff highlighted a $5 million late-added request for grants to protect nonprofits from violence and terrorism. Again, the exchange was largely explanatory, with no formal action.
Finally, the committee took up the Texas Facilities Commission and lease payments for revenue bonds. LBB recommended major reductions overall, including removal of border wall construction funding and capital complex bond funding, but added money for higher utility costs, renovation of the Rudder Building, and additional facilities staff. George Purcell also noted stable maintenance-and-renewal funding and new riders related to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission building, tenant communications, and space utilization. For lease payments, LBB recommended a smaller appropriation tied to revenue-bond costs allocated across agencies. The discussion was informational, with members asking about the Rudder Building renovation, border wall progress, and capital complex construction timelines; no votes were recorded.

Summary:
The House opened with routine procedural actions, including suspension of Joint Rule 12 for two petitions and suspension of Rule 7A to take up several bills immediately. Members advanced multiple Ways and Means bills to third reading, including measures on campaign finance reporting for statewide ballot questions, tax-free medical devices, fairness for Massachusetts Water Resources Authority employees, releasing land use restrictions in Revere, and authorizing a land taking in Norwood. Several engrossed local and special bills were then passed to be enacted, including measures affecting Boston police age waivers, the Hudson charter, Plymouth’s land acquisition account, Falmouth sewer-related costs, and Randolph’s charter.
The House also considered Senate Bill 2916 on campaign finance reporting for ballot questions. Supporters said the bill would strengthen disclosure, close reporting loopholes, and improve transparency around ballot question committees and signature gathering, while also creating a commission to review the initiative petition process. Amendments were adopted, including changes to the commission’s membership and a separate amendment related to signature-gathering provisions. After debate, the bill passed to be engrossed by roll call vote 149-0.
Members then took up the fiscal year 2027 budget conference report, House No. 5555, totaling about $63.4 billion. Supporters highlighted funding for Chapter 70 education aid, local aid, Fair Share investments in education and transportation, MBTA and regional transit support, housing and homelessness programs, food assistance, and immigration legal aid. The conference report was adopted by roll call 142-6, the emergency preamble was adopted, and the budget bill was passed to be enacted by the same vote. The House also declined concurrence on Senate Bill 3064, “to build resilience for Massachusetts communities,” and appointed a committee of conference, and later appointed a conference committee on House Bill 4646, enhancing child welfare protections. The session ended with a moment of silence for community figures and adjournment to the next day.
