Summary: The Committee on Transportation received a presentation from the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles on Florida’s camera-based traffic enforcement programs: red light cameras, school bus stop-arm cameras, and school zone speed cameras. The department explained how each program works, the distinction between a civil notice of violation and a uniform traffic citation, and the fee distribution for each type of violation. It also reported preliminary data showing 42 jurisdictions operating red light cameras, with 496 cameras at 302 intersections and 923,133 notices of violation in fiscal year 2024-2025; for the newer school bus and school zone programs, the department said preliminary figures showed five active school bus programs and 40 active school zone programs, with prior-year totals of 61,150 school bus notices and 26,300 school zone notices. Senators asked about camera placement, school zone requirements, review procedures, and whether law enforcement or third parties are involved in reviewing violations. The committee then received an update from FDOT Secretary Jared Perdue on the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative, which used $4 billion in general revenue to advance a $7 billion package of 20 major congestion-relief projects. He said the department has used innovative delivery methods, including modified phased design-build, voluntary acceleration, and structured acceleration, to move projects forward faster and control costs. He highlighted progress on projects including I-4 congestion relief lanes, the Golden Glades Interchange, I-95 at US-1, I-75 auxiliary lanes, I-75 at Pine Ridge Road, and I-275 in Tampa, and said 80% of the plan is expected to be underway by the end of 2026, with four projects remaining in 2027. Members asked about temporary traffic patterns at Golden Glades, subcontractor opportunities, public transportation planning, contractor safety and OSHA issues, bridge strikes, logistics hubs near airports and seaports, aggregate and material supply, local government coordination, and federal transportation funding. Secretary Perdue said FDOT continuously reevaluates traffic management plans, works with small businesses and local subs, and monitors contractor safety closely, including corrective action plans after incidents. He emphasized that Florida’s transportation revenues are flat, that the state remains largely state-funded, and that additional resources are the main thing the Legislature can provide to support future infrastructure delivery. The committee adjourned after the chair requested FDOT staff provide senators with district-specific project updates.

Summary: The Senate Committee on Transportation heard testimony on a large agenda of transportation-related bills, with several measures discussed before a quorum was established. AB 1588 focused on sideshows and street takeovers, with the author, San Francisco Police Department, and Streets Are for Everyone arguing the bill would modernize enforcement, add motorbikes and dirt bikes to the sideshow framework, and improve public safety; there was no opposition testimony. AB 2015 would require Caltrans to study the effects of third-party navigation apps on congestion, local streets, infrastructure, and emergency response, and was supported by Streets for All, AAA, and local agencies, with no opposition. AB 2717 would extend a sunset for off-site advertising displays at large sports venues; the Dodgers supported it, the San Jose Sharks and others noted amendments, and no opposition was heard. AB 1608 would strengthen the independence and transparency of the High-Speed Rail Office of Inspector General by requiring public reports, adding confidentiality protections for sensitive security information, and granting staffing and purchasing authority; the First Amendment Coalition supported the amended bill, while the Vice Chair raised concerns about transparency and limiting confidential notices to committee chairs. The committee also heard AB 2346 on e-bike safety, which would require speedometers on Class 2 e-bikes, lights, a statewide sidewalk speed limit, local authority over bike-path speeds, and point-of-sale disclosures. Support came from medical, law enforcement, local government, and safety groups citing rising injuries and confusion over e-bike rules; PeopleForBikes remained opposed unless amended, mainly over lighting and disclosure requirements, though Streets for All withdrew its opposition after amendments. Members broadly supported the bill and discussed helmet use, youth safety, and the distinction between e-bikes and higher-powered e-motos. AB 1919 would let Santa Cruz Metro place a citizens’ initiative on the ballot to secure transit funding and protect service and jobs; the sponsor, bus operators, and labor supported it, with no opposition testimony. AB 2012 would streamline permits for moving manufactured homes under an annual permit, and AB 2024 would clarify Outdoor Advertising Act permitting and relocation procedures; both drew support from industry and housing groups and no opposition. After quorum was established, the committee adopted the consent calendar, which included items 13, 6, 8, 11, 14, 15, and 21, by roll call vote. The committee then heard AB 2484, which would allow San Diego voters to authorize a local transit tax initiative for MTS; the author and MTS argued it would preserve service and allow voters to decide future funding, and the bill advanced on a 5-2 roll call with the roll left open for absent members. The committee also heard AB 2560, which would codify the state transportation climate principles known as CAPTI; supporters said it would lock in goals for transit, rail, active transportation, equity, and greenhouse gas reduction, while Orange County Transportation Authority opposed. The author closed by asking for aye votes, and the committee proceeded toward roll-call action on the bill.

Summary: The committee first heard HB 2957, which would prohibit cities, towns, counties, and districts from requiring a digital or mobile driver license for government identification purposes and would require physical licenses to be accepted. The sponsor argued the bill preserves choice, privacy, and state control over identification, and several supporters said it protects informed consent and limits biometric data use. Some members raised concerns about travel requirements and proof of legal status, but the sponsor said the bill would not eliminate Real ID or change federal travel rules. The committee recommended the bill do pass on a 4-3 vote. The committee then heard HB 2941, which would make certain unsafe motorcycle lane-splitting or lane-sharing behavior subject to reckless driving penalties. The sponsor said the bill is intended to address dangerous conduct and close a gap in enforcement, while a motorcycle rights advocate explained the difference between lane filtering, which is legal under Arizona law in limited circumstances, and lane splitting, which is not. Testimony emphasized public safety and education for riders. The committee approved the bill with a do pass recommendation on a 7-0 vote. Next, the committee considered HB 2305, as amended, dealing with private property towing. The bill would make towing rates a matter of statewide concern, tie charges to DPS tow service agreements, require documentation and notice requirements, and standardize rules for private towing carriers. Supporters said the measure would reduce confusion and predatory towing by creating uniform statewide standards, while opponents from the trucking industry argued the DPS rate structure was designed for emergency towing and that more stakeholder work was needed. After adopting an amendment clarifying the bill applies only to motor vehicles towed from private property, the committee passed the bill 7-0. Finally, the committee heard HB 2257, a strike-everything amendment changing how watercraft fee revenue is distributed between the watercraft licensing fund, the State Lake Improvement Fund, and boating safety/law enforcement purposes, while also requiring an annual expenditure report. Supporters said the change would help Mohave County and other local agencies that are covering more water patrol duties as Game and Fish resources are stretched, but Game and Fish warned the shift would create a significant fiscal impact and said the department is already operating with tight budgets. The committee adopted the amendment and gave the bill a do pass recommendation on a 4-3 vote.

Summary: The House convened with a quorum, prayer, and the Pledge of Allegiance, then moved through a long morning of personal privileges, commemorations, and resolution introductions. Members recognized Coca-Cola United for its Louisiana economic impact and community work, designated April 7 as Coca-Cola Day, celebrated Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival Day, Dad’s Day, and other guests and honorees, including a science fair participant, Jack and Jill of America, and a birthday recognition. The House also introduced numerous resolutions on topics including awareness days, condolences, civic education, health, and local commemorations, and several were adopted or advanced without objection. The chamber then took up a series of bills and committee reports. Among the measures advanced were bills on constitutional convention procedures, criminal justice and post-conviction relief, public meetings, health care, education, insurance, natural resources, and local government. Several bills were reported favorably or with amendments and moved to third reading, including measures on school resource officers, pharmacy benefit managers, rural health clinics, the LSU Energy Institute, and live broadcasting of public meetings. The House also passed bills recreating the Department of Treasury, requiring cash acceptance or cash-to-credit options at state public facilities, funding municipal fire and police civil service administration, naming a highway segment for Sgt. Michael J. Guillory, and clarifying legislative review of certain contract amendments. Floor debate centered on a few substantive bills. HB 134, which would prohibit platforms from delivering pornography to minor accounts and authorize Attorney General enforcement, passed 98-0. HB 170, clarifying when the prescriptive period begins for certain construction-related claims, passed 89-7 after discussion of substantial completion and owner occupancy. HB 217, creating an optional property tax exemption for rehabilitation of blighted residential property, passed 83-13 after amendment. HB 259, addressing damage to infrastructure during broadband excavation and requiring notice, repair, and payment accountability, passed 98-0 after amendments. HB 308, requiring state public facilities to accept cash or provide a cash-to-credit machine, passed 98-0. HB 360, naming a highway memorial for Sgt. Michael J. Guillory, passed 101-0. HB 382, streamlining budget committee review of certain contract amendments, passed 96-0. The House also debated HB 410, a privacy bill requiring notice when a participant in a direct in-person conversation is being recorded, with exceptions for law enforcement, evidence of crime, and certain civil or administrative proceedings. Members raised concerns about the scope of the exceptions, undercover journalism, and the relationship to Louisiana’s one-party consent wiretapping law, but the bill’s sponsor said it would not change criminal wiretapping law and was modeled on other states’ approaches. The transcript ends during that debate, with no final vote shown for HB 410.

Summary: The House opened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, approval of the journal, and a proclamation recognizing and strengthening Arizona’s relationship with Taiwan. The proclamation highlighted Taiwan’s trade and economic ties to Arizona, bipartisan legislative support for Taiwan over many years, and support for Taiwan’s participation in international organizations. Members also welcomed Taiwanese diplomatic guests and noted plans for a bipartisan Arizona-Taiwan caucus and a future Taiwan consulate in Phoenix. The House then resolved into Committee of the Whole and considered a series of Senate bills. Among the measures advanced were SB 1004, SB 1012, SB 1040, SB 1049, SB 1168, SB 1326, SB 1021, SB 1052, SB 1172, SB 1188, SB 1212, SB 1346, SB 1452, and SB 1494, with several amended. Topics included law enforcement tracking of homeless sex offenders, spousal maintenance, election/government accountability, hyperbaric oxygen therapy in assisted living, re-credentialing timelines, controlled substance scheduling, vaccine-related concerns, Access fraud prevention, transportation fixes, and protections against patient brokering. Some members raised objections to SB 1049, SB 1021, SB 1212, and SB 1346, citing fairness, separation of powers, public health, and budget concerns, but the bills still advanced. After the Committee of the Whole report was adopted, the House moved several bills to third reading and voted on them. SB 1164, SB 1174, SB 1189, and SB 1754 passed overwhelmingly or unanimously, while SB 1413 failed 2-48 after members argued it contained a significant change to moving-violation liability and restitution that had not been clearly reflected in the bill materials. The House later reconsidered the failed vote on SB 1413 and then adjourned until Monday, April 20, 2026.
