Summary: The House convened at noon with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, including a reading of George Washington’s prayer in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding. The journal for Saturday, June 27, 2026, was postponed until printed. Representative Borowitz then spoke under House Rule 17 on America 250 and House Resolution 579, which designates a day of commemoration for America’s 250th birthday and celebrates the nation’s founding principles. Borowitz’s remarks reviewed a long historical narrative emphasizing the role of religion and divine providence in American history, citing the Declaration of Independence, the Founding Fathers, early colonial worship, the Pilgrims, the Great Awakenings, presidential prayers and proclamations, the Aitken Bible, Capitol church services, the Civil War, World War II, and later references such as the National Prayer Breakfast and Apollo-era Bibles. The resolution was described as reaffirming commitment to the Declaration’s principles, including rights endowed by the Creator and reliance on divine providence. No vote was taken on the resolution during this session. At the end of the remarks, Representative Dockery moved to adjourn, and the House agreed by voice vote. The House adjourned until Monday, June 29, 2026, at 12 noon, unless sooner recalled by the Speaker.

Summary: The Assembly Governmental Organization Committee held an informational hearing on a tribal-state gaming compact between the State of California and the Big Sandy Rancheria of Western Mono Indians. Chair Blanca Rubio explained that no formal vote would be taken because the Legislature cannot amend the compact; SB 49 by Senator Grove is the ratification bill that would later come before the Assembly floor. The hearing focused on the compact’s background, including two amendments to extend an existing 1999 gaming compact while the new agreement was finalized. Matthew Lee from the Governor’s Office said the new compact is substantially similar to prior compacts but was revised to address the federal Department of the Interior’s earlier disapproval. He explained that the compact now includes CEQA exemptions and an explicit exclusivity provision that Interior had wanted to see in the compact itself. He also described standard terms such as worker protections, revenue sharing with the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund, reimbursement of state regulatory costs, local government distributions, and authorization for up to 3,000 gaming devices at up to two facilities. Big Sandy Rancheria Chairwoman Elizabeth Hutchins testified in support of SB 49, saying the compact is important to the tribe’s long-term economic development, self-sufficiency, and ability to provide services to members. She noted the tribe’s ties to the Fresno area and said the new compact includes an impact mitigation fund to support local law enforcement, emergency services, and neighboring jurisdictions. No committee questions were raised, there was no public comment, and the chair adjourned the hearing.

• Whereas Arizona relies on diverse water resources, including groundwater preserved in vast underground

Summary: The Senate opened with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, then completed an electronic roll call showing 24 members present and six excused. The journal for March 23, 2026, was dispensed with and approved. Senator Dunn introduced a guest intern from the University of Arizona, and Senator Gabaldón presented a legislative proclamation recognizing April 26 to May 2, 2026, as Arizona Water Professionals Week, highlighting the importance of the state’s water resources and the work of water professionals across sectors. Several guests from Arizona water organizations were welcomed, and remarks emphasized the value of water policy and the upcoming water conference. The chamber then handled routine floor business, including entering House messages and first readings of several bills. Measures introduced included HB 2344 on the local government investment pool, HB 2375 on housing and historic neighborhood zoning, SB 2671 on juvenile chronic penalty charges, SB 2680 on workers’ compensation notice fraud compensation, SB 2750 on the Arizona State Trade Commission, SB 2976 on justice court administration and due process, and SB 2992 on a pilot program for sexual abuse prevention. HB 2673 was withdrawn from the Committee on Appropriations and Transportation Technology.

Summary: The Judiciary and Rules Committee met to approve the February 9, 2026 minutes, which passed by voice vote. The committee then considered several RSs for print only, noting this was not a full hearing and that some measures would later go to other committees. Senator Tammy Nichols presented RS 33485, a proposal to establish a statewide minimum standard allowing residents of single-family homes to keep up to four hens for household egg production, with incidental sales allowed under existing food safety and cottage food laws. She said the bill was narrowly tailored, preserved local and HOA nuisance-related authority, and was a refined version of a similar measure that passed the Senate last year but stalled in the House. The committee voted to send RS 33485 to print after a brief exchange about the “chicken or egg” question. Senator Phil Hart presented RS 32877C1, which would encourage judges to finish their terms by limiting post-retirement service as senior judges for those who retire early, while exempting judges forced into retirement by incapacity. He said the bill is intended to reduce early retirements that lead to gubernatorial appointments and incumbent advantages. Senator Ruchti opposed the motion to print, saying he generally supports printing RSs but was concerned about repeated changes affecting the judiciary and warned that such changes could discourage qualified attorneys from becoming judges. Despite that objection, the committee voted to send the measure to print. The committee then approved in one block four additional RSs: RS 32871C1 to the Local Government and Tax Committee, RS 332259 and RS 33526 to the Health and Welfare Committee, and RS 33508, a rules resolution related to local government tax. All motions passed by voice vote, and the meeting adjourned.

Summary: The Transportation Committee first announced it would lay over House Bill 3664, then took up several transportation-related measures. House Bill 3147, by Rep. Hilton Brand, would create a voluntary Route 66 centennial license plate to mark the 2026 centennial of Route 66 and support the Oklahoma Route 66 Association; the sponsor said an emergency clause was included so plates could be in production before the celebration. The committee voted 9-0 to pass the bill. The committee then considered House Bill 4299, by Rep. Blair, to rename the interchange at Indian Hills Road and I-35 as the Toby Keith interchange. Members asked for clarification on the location and whether the Keith family had been consulted; the sponsor said the family was ready to move forward and that the effort had been started previously by a former member. The bill passed 8-2. Under oversight, the committee approved a PCS for House Bill 4265, the omnibus memorial roads and bridges naming bill, on a 9-0 vote. It then took up House Bill 4266, the special license plates omnibus bill, where members asked about how funds from out-of-state college and university plates would be handled; the sponsor said the money would stay in Oklahoma through the state system and that no funds would go to out-of-state schools. That bill also passed, 10-0. The chair noted the committee would meet again the following week and members would be told by Friday whether there would be an agenda.

• The result is AB 754, a carefully negotiated update to the prior bill AB 252 that preserves strong renter

Summary: The Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee heard AB 754 by Assemblymember Connolly, a district-specific bill updating the Floating Home Residency Law in Marin County. The author explained that the measure was intended to fix unintended consequences from AB 252, which had created renter protections for floating homeowners but, according to the author, did not work well in Marin because of the unique construction and financing needs of floating homes there. Supporters said the bill was developed over more than two years with extensive input from residents, marina operators, and county officials, and that a community survey showed 93% resident support and support from all five marina owners. Testimony in support came from the author and Karen Lang representing the County of Marin, both emphasizing that the bill preserved renter protections while allowing marinas to remain financially viable and maintain infrastructure. No opposition testimony was presented, and committee members praised the author for securing local agreement before advancing the bill. After quorum was established, the committee took up concurrence in the Senate amendments. The motion passed on a 7-0 vote, with two members not voting, and the committee concurred in the Senate amendments to AB 754.

Summary: The Senate took up Senate House No. 4010, a fiscal year 2025 supplemental appropriations bill funded largely by surplus Fair Share revenues. The Ways and Means chair described the bill as a $1.28 billion package, with major investments in education and transportation, including special education circuit breaker aid, higher education deferred maintenance, career technical education capital grants, school construction relief, high-dosage tutoring, English language learning grants, MBTA reserve replenishment and safety training, commuter rail maintenance, Chapter 90 local road aid, regional transit authority support, ferry and micro-transit funding, and a small World Cup transportation appropriation. Members from both parties generally praised the bill’s one-time, regionally balanced approach while emphasizing fiscal discipline and the limited, surplus-based funding source. The minority leader and others questioned the fund balances and the use of the education and transportation innovation and capital fund, the Student Opportunity Act trust fund, and the transitional escrow account; the chair said the bill would zero out the innovation and capital fund, leave about $430 million in the SOA trust, and about $200 million in the escrow account. Several members highlighted specific priorities. Senator Cronin and Senator Feeney strongly supported the $100 million career technical education investment, arguing it would expand vocational opportunities in comprehensive high schools and help meet workforce needs. Senator Feeney also emphasized MBTA funding, special education, local road repairs, English language learning tied to workforce needs, and World Cup preparations in Foxborough. Senator Comerford praised the bill’s regional equity, higher education maintenance funding, special education support, and transportation investments, while also noting the need for broader future work on Chapter 70 and school finance. Senator Tarr supported the bill but repeatedly stressed that the spending was a unique one-time opportunity and that the Commonwealth should preserve fiscal reserves and continue to address school funding inequities and MBTA finances more broadly. The chamber then considered numerous amendments. Amendment 1 on tariff pricing transparency was withdrawn after brief remarks, and Amendment 14, proposing a DESE study on educational outcomes for young men and boys, was rejected. Amendment 182, funding Worcester Regional Transit Authority capital expenses, was adopted. Amendment 228, adding $500,000 for Free Period to expand access to menstrual products in schools, was adopted. Amendment 257, funding Springfield Public Schools communication and safety systems, was also adopted. Other amendments, including Tarr amendments on supplemental district aid, MBTA reporting, and the Foundation Budget Review Commission, were rejected. Amendment 308 concerning MBTA Communities and Milton was withdrawn, after which Senator Driscoll began a presentation arguing Milton was being misclassified under the MBTA Communities Act and should be treated fairly under the law.
