House Housing Jan 27th, 2026
Transcript Highlights:
- I imagine this is pretty overwhelming for the postal service when you look at the statewide numbers.
Summary:
The Housing Committee heard public testimony on House Bill 2664, which would remove the certified-mail requirement for serving unlawful detainer and related notices under landlord-tenant law. Committee staff explained that the bill would instead deem service complete when notices are mailed from within the state with proper postage, and would keep other service methods such as personal delivery or posting plus mailing when the recipient is not on the premises. Representative April Connors, the bill sponsor, said the measure is intended to clean up notice provisions affected by prior legislation and reduce the burden on renters who currently must retrieve certified mail from the post office; she also noted a question from Representative Zahn about whether lease renewals are included and said she would follow up on that issue.
Testimony was overwhelmingly in support. Housing providers, property managers, landlord associations, and business groups said certified mail has created high costs, administrative burden, and many undelivered notices, with several witnesses reporting large percentages of notices returned unclaimed. Supporters argued the bill would improve the likelihood that tenants actually receive notices, reduce confusion, and lower costs for housing providers. One witness also said the current process can be inconvenient or inaccessible for tenants, while another raised privacy and safety concerns about posting notices on doors.
No one testified in opposition. Committee members asked very few questions, and the chair reminded testifiers that props are not allowed. The hearing concluded without a vote or other action on the bill, and the committee adjourned after a brief congratulatory comment to Vice Chair Hill on chairing her first Housing Committee meeting.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Finance and Tax met and first considered CS for SB 1290, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles agency package. The bill would align Florida law with IFTA and federal motor carrier rules, raise the crash-reporting damage threshold from $500 to $2,000, define “economically disadvantaged area,” update registration and email-notice procedures, and revise the definition of tank vehicles. An amendment was adopted to allow nonprofits to perform VIN inspections under an MOU and to create a DV-embossed specialty plate option for eligible disabled veterans. The bill, as amended, was reported favorably. The committee then passed SB 1292, which exempts certain email addresses collected by DHSMV for notification purposes from public records disclosure.
The committee also considered two flood-resiliency measures by Senator DeSantis/DeSigley. SJR 174 would amend the Florida Constitution to allow the Legislature to exclude from assessed value improvements made to mitigate flood damage, with the proposed amendment to appear on the 2026 ballot. SB 176 provided the implementing details, including eligibility tied to flood-risk areas or prior flood damage, square-footage limits for rebuilt or elevated homesteads, and documentation requirements for property appraisers. Members asked about how rebuilding and square-footage caps would work, and the sponsor explained the intent was to encourage elevation and resiliency without allowing major expansion. A technical amendment was adopted to SB 176, and both measures were reported favorably.
After the bills, staff director Azar Khan gave a brief presentation on the latest General Revenue conference results, noting collections were running ahead of forecast and explaining the main forecast adjustments, including increases in sales tax and investment earnings and a reduction in corporate income tax projections. No questions were raised on the presentation. The committee then noted that additional bills were still moving through earlier committees, invited members to follow up with staff, and adjourned without any recorded votes beyond the committee actions on the bills and amendments.

Committee:
Senate Senate Finance Committee of Reference
Summary:
The committee approved the February 2, 2026 minutes and held Senate Bill 1090. It then took up SB 1503, which would require pension fiduciaries and proxy advisory firms to base voting and advice solely on economic interests, prohibit ESG or ideological considerations except in limited circumstances, and authorize attorney general enforcement. The sponsor said the bill was meant to protect investors and align with federal action; supporters argued proxy advisors lack transparency and can influence votes against shareholders’ financial interests. Arizona retirement system representatives said they were neutral but warned the bill would add major operational costs, create reporting burdens, increase litigation risk, and could narrow the market for proxy advisory services. The committee passed SB 1503 on a 4-3 vote.
The committee then considered SB 1293, which would bar GPLET abatements from applying to school-district revenue during the eight-year abatement period. Supporters said the bill would protect school funding and reduce the state aid backfill tied to GPLET projects, while opponents from Phoenix, Mesa, and economic development groups said GPLET is a key redevelopment tool that helps finance downtown and blighted-area projects and that the bill would weaken future investment. The committee adopted the amendment and passed SB 1293 on a 4-3 vote. It also heard and passed SB 1414, which gives insurers 30 days to review and respond to third-party settlement demands; insurers supported the bill as a reasonable commercial timeframe, while trial lawyers opposed it as too slow and urged a 15-day standard, with members indicating they expected a possible friendly amendment.
Next, the committee heard SB 1633, which would create an Arizona income tax subtraction for capital gains from the sale of a primary residence, after five years of occupancy. Opponents argued it would mainly benefit wealthy homeowners and could cost the state tens of millions annually, while the sponsor said it could help homeowners move without facing large tax bills and improve housing turnover. The committee passed the bill 4-2. It also adopted an amendment to SB 1429, which would have expanded Arizona Commerce Authority board ex officio membership, then held the bill for further consideration. Finally, the committee passed SB 1536, allowing temporary consolidation of street light improvement districts, and heard SB 1724, which clarifies when property splits or consolidations trigger limited property value recalculation, with county assessors supporting the measure as an anti-gaming reform.

Transcript Highlights:
- Regarding the distribution of revenues for infrastructure improvements for manufacturing facilities,
- it increases the cap on public infrastructure improvement spending by $50 million each year for three
- It reduces the percentage of local government infrastructure costs to be reimbursed from 80% to 75%.
- It also requires the local government to provide at least 5% of the construction funding for infrastructure
- I think the infrastructure swap was fantastic, really smart move.
