Summary:
The Senate Committee on Military, Veterans Affairs, Space, and Domestic Security met with a quorum present and took up two bills. SB 1594, by Senator Gates, would change how veterans’ benefits received on behalf of foster youth are handled so the funds are not used to offset foster care costs, but instead are preserved for post-secondary education or aftercare services when the youth leaves foster care. The bill drew one supportive appearance from Victoria Zep of Family Support Services, had no debate, and was reported favorably by a unanimous roll call vote. Senator Sharief later asked to be recorded as a yes vote on the bill.
The committee then considered SB 1182, by Senator Jones, which creates the Florida Veterans and Military Spouses Business Development Act to provide fee relief and tax incentives for veteran-owned and military spouse-owned businesses. The committee adopted Jones’s strike-all amendment, which added information-sharing and verification provisions, refined the tax exemptions, and broadened eligibility for fee waivers and sales tax relief. After no questions or debate, the amended bill was reported favorably by unanimous vote.
The committee also held a confirmation hearing for three appointees—Matthew Bacchano, Tim Thomas, and Belinda Kaiser—and recommended confirmation on all three in one vote. The meeting concluded with several members offering remarks praising Chair Wright’s long service and leadership on veterans’ issues, followed by adjournment.

- , an act to amend the Private Housing Finance Law in relation to a mobile and manufactured home replacement
Summary:
The Senate Committee on Housing, Construction and Community Development met on February 10 and reviewed a largely recurring housing agenda, with the chair noting the meeting had been moved to Tuesday because of train delays and that a housing budget hearing was scheduled for February 25. Several bills were taken up that had passed the Senate in prior sessions or had been reported before, including measures on manufactured home park rent increases, first-home savings and grant programs, a mobile/manufactured home replacement program, closing-cost assistance for low-income tenants, protections against eviction for certified medical marijuana use, senior and disabled persons protections, fire code and housing standard penalties, a Manufactured Home Community Preservation Act, a public housing painters apprenticeship program, veterans with service-related disabilities receiving preferences in affordable homeownership programs, and a senior housing task force. One bill on an affordable independent senior housing assistance program was held at the sponsor’s request.
Testimony and discussion were limited, with most bills moving on sponsor motions and seconded by other senators. There was brief clarification on the closing-cost assistance bill that it was intended for renters in public or subsidized housing, not people living with parents. Senators generally supported the measures, though some members voted in the negative or to advance without recommendation on several bills.
Actions taken included reporting multiple bills either to the floor or to the Finance Committee. Among those reported to the floor were the manufactured home park rent bill, the medical marijuana eviction protection bill, the senior/disabled persons bill, the fire code and housing standards penalties bill, the veterans homeownership preference bill, and the senior housing task force bill. Bills on first-home savings, manufactured home replacement, closing-cost assistance, the first-home grant program, the Manufactured Home Community Preservation Act, and the public housing painters apprenticeship program were reported to the Finance Committee. The committee then adjourned.

Summary:
The committee approved the February 2 minutes and then considered several transportation-related measures. Representative Mendive presented RS 32869, which would allow urban school districts to offer parent-taught driver education while still permitting a district course, and would remove references to Idaho Digital Learning Academy in favor of other approved online vendors. The committee voted to introduce the RS.
Representative Palmer then presented RS 33221, allowing vehicle registration to be carried electronically on a phone or as a photo instead of paper for passenger vehicles. Members asked about security and clarified that the proposal applied only to vehicle registration, not driver’s licenses or voting. The committee voted to introduce the RS.
House Bill 576, also presented by Palmer, would limit the existing I-CAR used-car dealer fund to Idaho vehicles purchased in Idaho by Idaho residents, keeping the program within state borders. No one testified against it, and the committee sent the bill to the floor with a due pass recommendation. House Bill 577, presented by Representative Veeley, would eliminate the requirement to replace license plates every 10 years and instead keep them in use until they are no longer readable; after questions about how readability would be determined, the committee also sent it to the floor with a due pass recommendation. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The House convened with 66 members present, approved the journal, and received committee reports noting the enrollment of House Concurrent Resolution 22 and the printing and committee referrals for House Joint Memorial 11 and House Bills 520-531. The chamber then moved through first reading of several new bills, including transportation measures on motor vehicle identity verification, registration and validation stickers, driver training, and transportation funding; local government bills on agricultural pests and open meeting public comment; and state affairs bills on governmental flags and temporary administrative rules.

During third reading, the House granted unanimous consent to return House Bill 489 to the Judiciary and Rules Administration Committee so it could be replaced with a different version, and to hold House Bill 493 on the Third Reading Calendar for one legislative day.

The remainder of the meeting consisted of announcements recognizing visitors and groups at the Capitol, including ISU nursing students pursuing CRNA degrees, Idaho nurse practitioners, Capstone Student Legislature homeschool students, Nampa Councilwoman Debbie Skog, and University of Idaho Aggie Con students.

Summary:
The North Dakota House convened in special session with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the reading of communications from the Secretary of State and Governor Kelly Armstrong certifying the special session call. The governor’s executive order said the session was called to act on funding for the Rural Health Transformation Program so the state could accept and appropriate federal funds and avoid interruptions to government services. Three new members, Representatives McNally, Scraw, and Timmons, were sworn in, and the roll showed 91 members present, establishing a quorum.
The main business was a Rules Committee report outlining temporary special-session rules. The changes were designed to speed up floor action, including allowing second reading the same day a bill is reported from committee, final passage one day after first reading, and immediate transmission to the other chamber unless reconsideration is noticed. The report also replaced the regular standing committee structure with two joint committees: Joint Appropriations and Joint Policy, allowed remote testimony and remote member participation with approval, and limited bill introduction to Legislative Management-approved bills or bills approved by a two-thirds vote. Several deadline changes for resolutions and bill filing were also described, with some provisions delayed until the special session ends.
The House adopted the Rules Committee report after a motion by Representative Bosch and no opposition. During announcements, the clerk listed the membership of the Joint Appropriations and Joint Policy committees, and the Highway Patrol announced safety sessions for legislators in the Rough Rider Room at 11 a.m. that day and the next day. The House then recessed until the joint session scheduled for 10 a.m. the following day.

Summary:
The conference committee met to resolve differences on a bill creating or funding the K-12 Coordination Council. Members discussed the purpose of the council as a research and filtering body for K-12 studies, with several speakers emphasizing that it should draw on field expertise rather than be directed solely by DPI or another agency. They also noted concerns about giving an agency too much control over studies and the desire to have Legislative Management help direct or approve study topics.
The House explained that its earlier version had included a $120,000 appropriation, but the amount was removed after concerns arose that the council lacked authority to contract. Committee members discussed whether the council could still be useful with reduced funding and whether it should be able to contract for outside research. One member suggested funding at least enough for a couple of studies, citing an estimate of $30,000 to $40,000 per study and a message from the director requesting at least two studies.
A motion was made for the House to recede to the Senate version and further amend Section 2 to reduce the appropriation from $120,000 to $60,000. The motion passed unanimously by roll call, with all members voting yes. The committee then adjourned.

Summary:
The Hawaii State Senate Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection met on February 1, 2025, for decision-making on two measures previously heard on January 14. For SB 146, relating to condominiums, the committee recommended passage with amendments. The amendments were described as incorporating Real Estate Commission language to clarify the bill and narrowing its scope to managing agents with budget and replacement reserve responsibilities and authority to communicate with unit owners, thereby excluding smaller associations. The committee also deferred the effective date to July 1, 2050 and made technical, non-substantive changes. The measure was adopted without objections.
The committee also considered SB 1050, relating to insurance and captive insurance. Members described ongoing discussions between the Insurance Division and the captive insurance industry over revised language intended to support industry growth while preserving the state’s regulatory oversight and solvency protections. The committee noted receipt of compromise amendments developed after a week of negotiations and again deferred the effective date to July 1, 2050. A member thanked the chair and referenced the role of former chair Bob Her in bringing the captive industry to Hawaii, expressing support for continued momentum in the sector.
For SB 1050, the committee recommended passage with amendments, with the chair voting aye and no reservations or objections from members present. Both measures were therefore adopted by the committee for recommendation to the full Senate.
