Summary:
The Senate opened with prayer, roll call, and a quorum present, then moved through a series of conference committee appointments and reconsideration motions. Senator Axtman successfully moved to reconsider House Bill 1160, which had previously failed, and the chamber later passed it. HB 1160 creates a statewide bell-to-bell policy restricting personal electronic devices during instructional time; supporters argued it would reduce distractions, improve mental health and academic outcomes, and help teachers, while opponents raised local control concerns. The bill passed 42-4.
The Senate also passed several other measures, including HB 1247 on protecting student victims of sexual offenses, HB 1489 consolidating civil protection orders into one chapter, HB 1032 making municipal courts courts of record and updating related procedures, HB 1487 authorizing a Minot facility for the Highway Patrol and Bureau of Criminal Investigation with a line of credit and emergency clause, HB 1469 requiring annual online statements of interest for public officials, HB 1199 creating the Missing and Indigenous People Task Force and related MMIP initiatives, HB 1169 regulating paid veterans benefits claim assistance with consumer protections, HB 1209 directing a foreign adversary threat assessment, and HB 3018 as amended to study water, wetlands, and taxation of inundated lands. Most of these passed with strong bipartisan support, though HB 1169 drew substantial debate over veterans’ service options and HB 1209 passed on a narrower 40-7 vote.
The chamber rejected or declined several other measures. HB 1455, which would have required the Indian Affairs Commission to review introduced legislation for tribal implications, failed 7-40 after concerns about an unfunded mandate and duplicative duties. HB 1259, which would have put North Dakota on year-round daylight saving time, was defeated 15-32 after debate over time zones, construction, recreation, and whether the issue should be left to future legislatures. HB 1555, dealing with statements of ownership for foreign organizations of concern, also failed 3-44. The Senate then moved to announcements and committee scheduling for later meetings and conference committees.

Summary:
The meeting opened with routine business: confirmation of Open Meetings Act compliance, roll call, approval of the prior minutes, and no public comment. The main presentation was a detailed update on OK WIRE and a new workforce-gap validation model. Staff described moving from a simple job-posting approach to a four-factor method using wage growth, time-to-fill, occupation growth relative to the state average, and the ratio of postings to existing jobs. Examples were given for registered nurses, industrial occupations, software developers, and accountants to show how the model would identify validated workforce shortages or areas needing only monitoring. The team said the new dashboard would be added to the existing OK WIRE system, include links to training programs, and be completed by the end of August without additional cost under the current vendor contract.
An agency report followed, covering the work of 929 Strategies on a 30-60-90 day plan, office relocation, contract terminations, grant administration, and budget cleanup. Staff said they had moved out of Film Row, were temporarily in Denver Davidson, and would move into permanent space in the Jim Thorpe building in October. They also discussed the rapid response grant, ARPA grant spending, and a planned data tool to support layoffs response and rural health workforce planning, including work with the Healthcare Workforce Training Commission and health partners. The board then voted to enter executive session under the cited Oklahoma statutes to discuss employee evaluations, possible salary increases, and confidential legal/operational matters. After returning, the board thanked staff for their budget work, decided not to hold the July 9 meeting, and adjourned, planning to resume discussion at the August meeting.

Committee:
Senate Crime Victims, Crime And Correction
Summary:
The Senate Standing Committee on Crime Victims, Crime and Correction met with a quorum of members present and considered 10 bills. The committee held a lengthy debate on S.2656, a bill to repeal provisions related to solitary confinement, with supporters arguing the current law is not fully implemented and that solitary confinement is harmful and ineffective, while opponents said the law has made facilities less safe and removed needed disciplinary tools. After discussion, the bill failed to advance, with five negative votes and no report to the floor.
The committee also considered several correctional administration and health-related measures. S.394, the Clemency Justice Act, and S.2509A, concerning transfers of incarcerated individuals from county jails to state facilities, were both reported to finance. S.5134, creating a uniform electronic medical records system for correctional facilities, was reported, as was S.9126A. S.8492, establishing a digital legal mail program, drew concerns about privileged communications and was defeated in committee. S.9467, setting radiation standards for employees and visitors at correctional facilities, was reported to the Health Committee.
Two additional bills, S.9916 on employee mental health services and S.9928 on rights of sexual assault survivors during the investigative process, were reported after brief discussion and expressions of support. One bill on the agenda was laid aside at the sponsor’s request. Overall, the meeting featured a mix of correctional policy, facility operations, health, and survivor-rights legislation, with several bills advancing and one major reform measure on solitary confinement failing to move forward.

Summary:
The committee met in executive session with 14 members present and took up a series of House bills, several with House Committee Substitutes (HCSs). Early discussion centered on HB 1893 and HB 2075, both described by opponents as “potty police” bills affecting restroom access in public settings; members debated privacy, enforcement, and the scope of exemptions, and both HCSs were adopted before the bills were reported do pass. HB 2536, another restroom-related measure, drew extensive testimony from supporters and opponents, including concerns about impacts on transgender people, private causes of action, and the role of outside advocacy groups; its HCS was adopted and the bill was reported do pass on a 9-5 vote.
The committee then considered HB 1914, where members said the bill was intended to keep technicians in Missouri but raised concerns about whether it would actually do so and whether the committee was being asked to referee a contract dispute between dealers and manufacturers; the HCS was adopted and the bill passed 9-3 with one present. HB 3423 passed without discussion, and HB 3204 was amended at the request of the Department of Mental Health to remove an unnecessary sentence about prevention resource centers before being reported do pass unanimously.
The final bills dealt with camps and other regulatory issues. HB 3142’s HCS shifted licensing authority from DESE to DSS, removed day camps, carved out universities and colleges, dropped website-reporting requirements, and added CPR and background-check requirements; members discussed possible delayed implementation and the extent of rulemaking authority, and the bill passed 11-2. HB 2855 and HB 2922 both passed with little or no discussion, HB 2643 passed unanimously, and HB 2828 was amended to remove nitrous oxide language before passing unanimously. The meeting then adjourned.

Committee:
Senate Education
Summary:
The Senate Education Committee heard Senate Bill 1291 from Senator Carrie Semmelroth, a code-cleanup measure tied to the prior session’s Code Cleanup Act and reviewed by agencies, the LSO program impact team, and the DOGE Task Force. Semmelroth walked the committee through multiple sections of Idaho Code Title 33 that she described as obsolete, outdated, or orphaned, including provisions on public school appropriations, third-party contracts to improve student achievement, teacher recognition reporting, county school funding mechanisms, industry partner funds, asbestos abatement at Albion Normal School, and advanced opportunities. She also explained that two sections in the bill simply removed references to provisions being repealed. The committee asked no substantive questions and voted unanimously to send SB 1291 to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
After the bill hearing, the committee received a presentation from Idaho FFA state officers, who described FFA’s role in agricultural education, leadership development, and supervised agricultural experience. The students outlined the three-circle model of classroom instruction, FFA activities such as career and leadership development events, and SAE projects ranging from beekeeping and welding to dairy work, greenhouse management, and livestock production. They highlighted statewide participation, leadership conferences, community service hours, and the upcoming state convention in Twin Falls, and invited legislators to attend.
Committee members responded with supportive comments and a few questions about the students’ projects, including welding techniques, aluminum prep, and beekeeping. The students answered with details about MIG welding, cleaning aluminum before welding, hive management, honey production, and recordkeeping. The chair thanked the students for their work and emphasized values such as respect, responsibility, and resilience before adjourning the committee until the next day.
