Summary: New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority officials, led by Executive Director Rob Dapice, briefed legislators on the agency’s structure and funding. They explained that the authority is created by state law but is not a state agency, its debt is not state debt, and it is governed by a board appointed by the governor and approved by the Executive Council. The discussion focused on the Affordable Housing Fund and the lead paint hazard remediation fund, including how state appropriations and federal resources are combined to finance affordable rental housing and lead abatement work. Dapice said the Affordable Housing Fund is used as gap financing for multifamily affordable housing projects, typically alongside federal tax credits and tax-exempt bonds, and that state dollars leverage roughly 2:1 to 10:1 in additional federal and private investment, averaging about 4:1. He said the fund has received historic appropriations in recent budgets, including $30 million over the last two biennial budgets and an annual $5 million set-aside from the real estate transfer tax. He also said the fund is usually structured as 0% interest, deferred loans rather than grants, with repayments returning to the fund if projects generate cash flow. Members asked about rents, oversight, staffing, revenues, and whether the programs had added positions. Dapice said affordability restrictions generally last 30 to 99 years, rents are tied to income limits and capped so tenants pay no more than 30% of income, and compliance staff inspect properties regularly to verify income eligibility and rent limits. He said the organization has about 130 to 135 employees, down from about 145, with no new positions added because of the appropriations. He estimated total revenues at roughly $300 million, with administrative budget around $22 million, much of it pass-through grant money. On lead paint remediation, he said the state first appropriated $6 million in 2019, plus $1 million in ARPA funds, and that the program has cleared more than 500 units. He said the federal grant program is not annual or predictable, with a recent award of about $7.75 million, and that the maximum federal grant per unit is $177,000, typically paired with up to $100,000 in state loan support. He also noted that the program can address homes before a child is poisoned if lead hazards are identified, but that cases involving an already exposed child are a higher priority. No votes or formal actions were taken.

Summary: The Assembly Public Safety Committee heard a long agenda of bills, with several authors presenting measures focused on probation, prison conditions, public safety, diversion, and infrastructure theft. Early in the hearing, AB 1816 by Assembly Member Davies proposed allowing courts to extend probation for up to one additional year for people convicted of registrable sex offenses who have not completed required treatment. Supporters, including the Chief Probation Officers of California, argued the bill would improve rehabilitation and public safety by allowing treatment to be completed; opponents, including public defenders and civil liberties groups, said existing revocation tools already address noncompliance and warned the bill was vague and would prolong supervision. The bill was later moved on call with an aye recommendation. The committee also heard AB 2593, which would prohibit non-medical staff from interfering with prescribed care for incarcerated patients; it drew broad support from medical, disability, public defender, and justice reform groups and passed to Appropriations. The consent calendar, including AB 1927 and AB 2502, was adopted without controversy. The committee then considered AB 1538 by Assembly Member Krell, which would bar elected or appointed officials from using political power for retaliation. Support came from a student activist and the California News Publishers Association, with additional support from education, law enforcement, and civil liberties groups; no opposition testimony was offered, and the bill passed to Appropriations. AB 2584 by Assembly Member Flora, as amended, would narrow civil liability for lawful defensive force; supporters framed it as protecting self-defense, while one opposition witness objected on behalf of labor and justice groups. The chair noted concerns about eliminating civil liability but still recommended aye, and the bill passed to Judiciary. AB 2217 by Assembly Member Zbur would rename and expand the LEAD diversion program as “Alternatives to Arrest,” broaden eligible offenses, and continue grant funding for local diversion efforts. Supporters emphasized reduced recidivism and service connections, and the bill was moved on call to Appropriations. Later, the committee took up AB 1941 by Assembly Member Mark Gonzalez, which would create an organized metal theft offense and a statewide data-sharing system to address copper theft and damage to public infrastructure. Supporters from utilities, cities, transit, telecom, and law enforcement described widespread outages, costly repairs, and public safety risks; opponents argued the bill would deepen criminalization and racial disparities and that non-carceral solutions were preferable. The author and supporters responded that the bill was needed to address repeated thefts that leave communities without lights, power, or 911 service, and the measure passed to Appropriations. Finally, AB 2499 by Assembly Member Gibson sought stronger protections for incarcerated people and workers from extreme heat and inadequate ventilation in state prisons. The bill was backed by incarcerated workers, family members of a woman who died from heat-related causes, and a wide coalition of public defender, civil rights, and prisoner advocacy groups. Members spoke emotionally about prison conditions and the need for humane treatment, and the bill passed to Labor and Employment with strong support.

Summary: The meeting began with introductions and approval of the previous minutes, including a small amendment clarifying a note about “leakage” in a prior presentation. The committee then heard a presentation from Sarah Hall of the American Forest Foundation on the Family Forest Carbon Program, which she described as a voluntary carbon and forest management program for smaller landowners. She said the program provides annual payments and technical assistance, requires a forest management plan within two years, and is designed to support improved forest management while still allowing compatible uses such as recreation, hunting, and some harvesting. Hall emphasized that the program is intended as one tool among many and is not a fit for every property. She said most enrolled landowners did not previously have a forest management plan or work with a forester, and that the program helps bring “unengaged” landowners into active management. She also said the program is compatible with current use and other commitments on a case-by-case basis, and that landowners retain ownership of their land and timber rights while AFF holds the carbon rights for the contract term. She highlighted examples of landowners using the program to support taxes, family ownership, wildlife habitat, timber stand improvement, and continued recreational or business uses. Committee members asked about registry compliance in New Hampshire and the relationship between carbon markets and the program. Hall responded that AFF handles registry administration for landowners and would follow up on the specific registry count raised by a member. She explained that the program is funded through a mix of carbon market revenue, philanthropy, and grants, and that carbon credits are generated through landscape-level methodology and monitored using randomly selected plots compared with FIA data. She also noted that consulting foresters are key partners in the program and that AFF has paid more than $3 million to consultants nationwide.

Summary: The Senate opened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and several introductions and memorial remarks, including a moment of silence for service members killed in the conflict in Iran. The chamber then moved to special orders and took up a series of bills, with many measures passing unanimously after brief explanations and, in several cases, substitution of House companions. Early bills included CS/CS/SB 1062 on speech and debate education, which drew extensive supportive debate about the civic value of debate programs and passed 37-0, and SB 1072 on an anti-Semitism task force, which was amended to clarify that criticism of Israel is not prohibited and then passed 37-0. The Senate also approved CS/CS/SB 1230/HB 1019 on PFAS chemicals and firefighting foam, with discussion focused on phasing out AFFF, testing requirements, exceptions for federal aviation and military uses, and support for firefighters and water quality; the bill passed 37-0. Other measures passed without opposition included SB 1706 on the My Safe Florida Condominium Pilot Program, SB 186 on student health and safety and seizure response training, SB 598 on funeral and cemetery services, SB 990/HB 883 on protected cell captive insurance companies, SB 554 on nonprofit corporations, SB 560 on child welfare and foster care medication procedures, SB 684/HB 961 on electronic signatures for salvage titles, and SB 778/HB 569 on forensic client services. Two bills, SB 432 on intoxicating substances and SB 928 on dangerous crimes, were temporarily postponed. A major portion of the meeting was devoted to SB 1134 on official actions of local governments and DEI-related activities. The sponsor argued the bill would prevent counties and municipalities from funding or promoting DEI efforts he described as discriminatory or indoctrinating, while opponents offered amendments to narrow the bill to spending only, add an intent requirement for penalties, and preserve local proclamations and observances. Those amendments were debated at length but were not adopted. The sponsor then continued explaining the bill’s exceptions, including references to holidays, heritage sites, and the Pulse Memorial, and the chamber was still in debate on the underlying measure when the transcript ended.

Summary: The committee opened testimony on House Bill 1838, relating to visas. Testifiers from the State Health Planning and Development Agency, the legal clinic, the Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the ACLU, CARES, and immigrant-rights groups strongly supported the bill, saying it would bring Hawaii into compliance with federal law, standardize and speed up certification for U and T visa applicants, and better protect survivors of crime and trafficking. Supporters emphasized that delays in certification can leave eligible survivors waiting years for federal visa access and can undermine public safety by discouraging victims from reporting crimes. The chair announced there were 103 testimonies in support and one in opposition, and the committee then moved on without taking a vote on the bill in the hearing. The committee next heard House Bill 1870, concerning protected locations and immigration enforcement. Testimony from the Hawaii Coalition for Immigrant Rights, ACLU of Hawaii, educators, students, and community advocates supported limiting immigration enforcement at schools and other essential-service sites, arguing that families should be able to access education, health care, shelters, libraries, and social services without fear. The Department of Education said it had already issued guidance in March 2025 for how staff should respond when law enforcement comes onto campus, and the Public Charter School Commission noted implementation would need to occur at the school level. Testifiers said the bill would create standardized protocols and protect students and families from fear and disruption; the chair reported 142 testimonies in support, one in opposition, and five comments. The committee then took up House Bill 2445, relating to student safety and law enforcement on campus. The Department of Education again said it had already rolled out statewide guidance and described its process for staff to notify administration, verify law enforcement identification and purpose, and route matters through the complex area superintendent and attorney general, while noting emergencies would be handled differently. A committee member questioned whether the procedures were sufficiently standardized and whether staff were trained for unusual situations. Student and community testifiers supported the bill, saying schools should remain safe havens and that clear procedures are needed if federal immigration enforcement appears on campus. The Department of Law Enforcement testified in opposition to parts of the measure, raising concerns about masking requirements, vehicle markings, officer safety, doxxing, retaliation, costs, and possible supremacy-clause conflicts, and suggested more exemptions and a compromise approach. The chair reported 106 testimonies in support, two comments, and no opposition for the bill before moving on to the next measure.

Summary: The meeting focused on Kentucky school choice and innovation, with discussion of the state constitution’s “common schools” requirement and how that has been interpreted alongside newer education models. Chairman Tipton described model laboratory schools, Gatton and Craft Academies, magnet and virtual programs, and said these options show that Kentucky has long expanded opportunity through innovation. He then turned the discussion to Senate Bill 207, which he said was designed to support schools of innovation. Senator Steve West reviewed the history of Kentucky charter schools and explained that SB 207 was modeled on a South Carolina approach. He said the bill allows a local school board to contract with a third-party entity to manage an existing school, seek waivers from certain state rules, and receive SEEK funding while also allowing outside private investment. He emphasized that the district initiates the process, that the school remains public, and that the bill includes accountability through a time-limited contract that can be ended if the school is not performing. Members asked about the difference between SB 207 and the earlier charter school law, whether schools could cherry-pick students, and whether teachers would remain district employees. West and Tipton said the new model is tied to an existing school rather than a new charter, cannot cherry-pick students, and keeps teachers as district employees. Representative Brown raised concerns that charters and exceptions could leave some children out, especially lower-income students, while West responded that the proposal is intended to expand choice for families who may not otherwise have it and cited examples from other states where similar models improved low-performing schools. No vote or formal action was taken during the discussion.

Summary: The Senate took up several procedural and local matters, beginning with standing votes to adopt emergency preambles for two sick leave bank bills: Senate 2908 for Shannon Manning of the Trial Court and Senate 3031 for Stephanie Rivera of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office. Both emergency preambles were adopted. The chamber also welcomed Brownie Girl Scouts from Milford who had earned a Journey Summit Award for a water protection project, and adopted resolutions commending Essex National Heritage Commission Inc. and congratulating the Office of the Inspector General on its anniversary. The Senate then acted on legislation reported from committee and from the third-reading calendar. The Committee on Ways and Means reported favorably, with amendment, on a bill to improve outdoor lighting, conserve energy, and increase dark sky visibility, substituting Senate 3145 for Senate 2243; the rules were suspended and the amended bill was ordered to a third reading. The Senate also accepted a third-reading committee report and passed to be engrossed a bill amending the membership of the Quabbin Watershed Advisory Committee, along with local bills waiving maximum age requirements for Boston police officer applicants Kenny Gatot and Jean E. Rosney, and a bill authorizing Bridgewater to amend its charter to use gender-neutral language. On final passage, the Senate enacted bills concerning election procedures in Haverhill, a millennium fund for the Wayland Free Public Library, and an extension of Southbridge’s authority to grant additional liquor licenses. The bills were ordered signed by the President and laid before the Governor. The Senate also received a gubernatorial filing for legislation validating the 2006 annual elections in Oakham, which was referred to the Committee on Election Laws. The session ended with an order to reconvene the following Monday at 11 a.m., and the Senate adjourned.

Summary: The Resources and Conservation Committee met at 8:00 a.m. with a quorum present. Representative Petsky presented House Bill 939, which would restrict certain hunting technologies during big game season, including night vision, thermal devices, transmitting trail cameras, and drones, while adding carve-outs for predator control (wolves, mountain lions, and other predatory wildlife), agriculture, retrieving wounded animals, and monitoring traps. Petsky said the bill was intended to balance conservation and hunting opportunity with practical uses of the technology, though he acknowledged some enforcement questions may need to be revisited later. Representative Mickelson moved HB 939 to the floor with a do pass recommendation, and Dexton Lake of the Idaho Farm Bureau testified in support, saying the organization appreciated the collaboration and supported the bill. Representative Manwaring asked to move the bill to second reading for time reasons, and the committee agreed by unanimous consent. The committee then voted aye to send HB 939 to the floor with a do pass recommendation. The committee also took up Fish and Game rule docket 13-0108-2401. Representative Boyle moved to adopt the docket except for sections 410(04)(G) and (H), citing concerns about conflicts with the Idaho Constitution’s right to hunt, fish, and trap, state law on taking wolves, the Fish and Game Commission’s authority, and administrative procedure requirements. The committee approved the motion and accepted the docket with those two sections rejected. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary: The committee first approved the minutes from Wednesday, February 11, by voice vote. It then heard House Bill 543 from Representative Ben Furman, which would update Percy Choice language to comply with the federal SECURE Act 2.0 by allowing after-tax Roth contributions in the 401(k)-type plan. The bill was described as a conformity update, and the committee moved it to the floor with a due pass recommendation by voice vote. Next, the Idaho Division of Veterans Services presented a pending rule docket removing obsolete rules related to domiciliary care, which the agency no longer provides. The administrator explained that assisted-living-type care is available elsewhere, but not through the division. The committee approved the rule docket by voice vote. Finally, the Department of Commerce presented its grant program rules under the governor’s zero-based regulation initiative, describing the rewrite as non-substantive housekeeping to remove redundant or outdated language, align with statute, and clarify definitions and funding limits. Members asked about a change allowing the department to require matching funds, and staff explained that the language gives flexibility to reduce or waive match requirements in hardship or disaster situations, or potentially require more in some cases. The committee approved the docket by voice vote.

Summary: The committee began by approving the minutes from January 28, 2026. The main item on the agenda was House Joint Memorial 10, introduced by Representative Crane and supported by Samantha Parrott of the Snake River Sugar Beet Growers Association and grower Gayland Lee. Testimony described the memorial as a request to Congress, HHS, and USDA to prioritize real sugar from Idaho sugar beets in school lunch programs instead of chemical sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose. Supporters emphasized Idaho’s sugar beet industry, rural jobs, and the idea that the memorial is a nonbinding statement that does not regulate parents, school districts, vending machines, or individual dietary needs. Representative Leavitt asked for clarification that the memorial applies only to school lunches and not vending machines or other school food sales, and witnesses confirmed that distinction. Gayland Lee added comments about sugar’s uses in food and argued that replacing sugar with artificial sweeteners can sometimes increase calories in reformulated products. After testimony and no further questions, Representative Diger moved to send H.J.M. 10 to the floor with a do pass recommendation, and the committee approved the motion by voice vote with no opposition. Before adjournment, the chair announced a scheduling change for Monday: the committee will meet across the hall at 1:30 p.m. to accommodate the local government committee, and it will review six Idaho State Department of Agriculture dockets, with agendas to be sent out that day.
