Summary:
The committee first adopted the March 3rd minutes by voice vote after Representative Lee moved them and there was no discussion. Members then reviewed hearing rules on decorum, safety, and participation before taking testimony from Dr. James Densley and Dr. Jillian Peterson of the Violence Prevention Project Research Center at Hamline University.
The presenters summarized research on mass shootings and K-12 school shootings, drawing on a database of homicides in school settings from 2000 to 2025 and a smaller set of 15 K-12 mass shooting cases. They said school shooters are usually insiders, most often current or former students, and typically young males. They described common patterns including a noticeable crisis before attacks, perpetrators viewing the shooting as a final act, studying prior shooters online, and “leakage” in which most tell someone in advance. They also emphasized that many perpetrators use unsecured firearms from family members and argued that prevention should combine reporting systems, behavioral threat assessment, counseling, mentoring, secure storage, and other layered interventions rather than rely on a single solution.
The presenters also discussed broader violence trends in the Twin Cities, saying much school violence is spillover from community violence and that pandemic-era disruptions and weakened trust in institutions contributed to serious violence. They cited a national survey finding that exposure to gun violence is associated with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and fear of public spaces, especially among young people. During member questions, Representative Wam asked for clarification on the data set and the rural/small-town share of the survey sample.

Summary:
The committee on Education heard a series of bills and took action on each. HCR 2015, a resolution supporting at least 60 minutes of daily physical activity for K-12 students and posting dietary guidelines in schools, drew testimony from advocates for recess and student wellness; it was approved 6-0. HB 2040, which would require schools to provide adoption information when contraception or STI topics are discussed and add adoption-related content to sex education, drew opposition from Reproductive Freedom for All and the Arizona Education Association, but passed 4-2. HB 2255, extending Arizona Teachers Academy eligibility for community college students from two to four years, passed unanimously 6-0. HB 2764, creating a voluntary state seal of computer science proficiency for high school graduates, also passed 6-0.
The committee then considered HB 2600, requiring written parental permission for students in grades 6-8 to join school clubs or organizations. The ACLU of Arizona opposed the bill, arguing it would suppress participation in clubs involving sensitive identities or topics; the bill passed 4-2. HB 2379, which requires school district governing board members to complete recurring training on school finance and related duties, was amended to narrow the re-election consequences and then passed 4-2. HB 2142, establishing a school safety center and council within the Arizona Department of Education to provide training, technical assistance, and risk assessments, received mixed testimony over its funding source and council makeup but passed 4-2.
Later, HB 4033, which would require more detailed bond election pamphlets and separate ballot propositions for certain school bond projects such as stadiums, administrative buildings, and teacher housing, drew opposition from the Arizona Education Association over added barriers to school funding, but passed 4-2. HB 2482, capping job order contracting for building renewal grant projects at $1 million and requiring verification against artificial project splitting, drew concerns from builders and school board groups about slowing repairs and limiting procurement flexibility; it passed 4-2. Finally, HB 2575, the Anti-Semitism and Education Act, which would bar public schools and higher education institutions from teaching or promoting antisemitism and create reporting and discipline procedures, drew strong support from Jewish community representatives describing school and campus incidents, and opposition from the ACLU and AEA over free-speech and liability concerns; the transcript cuts off before the committee vote on this bill.

Summary:
The committee first approved the April 9 minutes, then took up House File 2988, which would extend for eight more years a sales tax exemption tied to Minnesota State High School League tournament ticket revenue that is funneled into the league’s foundation and returned to schools as grants. Chair Youakim and Executive Director Eric Martins said the program sends more than $1.1 million annually back to schools for activity fee reductions, scholarships, coaching and training, AEDs, late buses, and other school needs, with over 98% of funds going directly to schools. Representative Huot and others spoke in support, while Representative Robinson questioned the structure and suggested the state could instead simply reduce ticket prices and not tax the tickets. The committee laid HF 2988 over for possible inclusion in the omnibus tax bill.
The committee then heard House File 4906, as amended, which would create a one-time property tax refund in calendar year 2026 for owners of residential homesteads and the homestead portion of agricultural property, funded by a $4 billion appropriation in fiscal year 2027. The bill includes a clawback for delinquent taxpayers and offsets to ensure no one receives more in property tax refunds than they paid. A House Research staffer said the Department of Revenue viewed the refund as potentially taxable, while House Research said it likely should be treated as a recovery of prior taxes, and the two would follow up. The bill was introduced with testimony from Eric Bernstein of We Make Minnesota and Nan Madden of the Minnesota Budget Project, both of whom opposed it, arguing it would create a large budget hole, force future cuts, and disproportionately benefit homeowners while excluding renters and lower-income Minnesotans.
Several members also raised concerns. Representative Hewitt said the state should prioritize public safety, rural EMS, and safety-net hospitals rather than a large rebate, and Representative Youakim argued the money would be better spent on longer-term property tax relief and education funding. Representative Hollins said the proposal would worsen racial and wealth inequities because homeownership is lower among communities of color and renters would get nothing. In response, the author and supporters said the bill is meant to put money back into people’s budgets and that individuals should be able to decide how to use their own money. The discussion continued with questions about the bill’s size and fiscal impact, but no final action on HF 4906 was taken in the portion provided.
