Summary:
The House Health and Welfare Committee first briefly took up RS 33-691, a proposal related to the SNAP soda and candy restrictions passed the prior year. Sponsor Rep. Jordan Redman said the measure would refine the earlier law so more nutritious foods remain eligible while still excluding traditional soda and candy. The committee moved to introduce the RS and the motion carried.
The committee then heard House Bill 818, sponsored by Rep. Brooke Green, which would require insurance coverage for fertility preservation for cancer patients facing treatment-related infertility. Green, Dr. Rihanna Menon, and Dr. Kristen Slater testified that cancer treatment can quickly threaten fertility, that decisions must often be made within days, and that the procedures can cost thousands of dollars up front. They described the bill as medically necessary, time-sensitive, and especially important for younger patients, including those with breast cancer, leukemia, and testicular cancer. Several patients and survivors also testified about their own experiences, emphasizing the emotional strain, the short decision window, and the financial burden when insurance did not cover the treatment.
An insurance representative, Norm Varian of PacificSource, explained that the bill would create a new mandated benefit for non-self-funded plans and could trigger state reimbursement under federal benefit-deferral rules, with a fiscal note attached. Some members raised concerns about whether the bill should be limited to cancer patients when other conditions also cause infertility, while others supported the measure as a pro-family, pro-life policy. Rep. Green said she would refine the bill and return it next year, and the committee voted to hold House Bill 818 in committee.

Summary:
The Environment, Energy and Technology Committee met to consider a series of Department of Environmental Quality rule dockets, largely involving incorporation by reference of federal rules and zero-based regulation cleanup. DEQ staff explained the concept of program primacy, the timing of federal rule changes versus Idaho adoption, and why some rules are incorporated by reference rather than written out in full. Members asked about how federal changes are tracked, why the state does not simply reproduce the federal text, and how the agency handles timing gaps when federal rules become effective before Idaho updates its rules.
The committee approved the hazardous waste docket, the air quality docket, and two drinking water dockets covering Consumer Confidence Reports and Lead and Copper Rule revisions. It also approved a narrow drinking water pressure-standard correction with an early effective date of sine die, and a water quality standards docket that made administrative updates to align Idaho rules with EPA actions. In the cyanidation docket, DEQ described changes required by Senate Bill 1170 and noted that the temporary rule and pending rule were both before the committee; the committee approved the docket to extend the temporary rule and allow the pending rule to proceed.
The committee also approved solid waste rules revised under zero-based regulation, wastewater rules that modernized language and clarified that aquaculture facilities are not subject to municipal wastewater requirements, and loan-fund administration rules that reorganized affordability criteria and disadvantaged-community tiers for SRF assistance. Finally, the committee approved the groundwater quality rule with an exception: Representative Bruce moved to approve it except for sections 003 and 200(01A), arguing that unresolved federal PFAS-related standards should not be incorporated before federal finality. The committee adopted that motion, and the meeting adjourned after a brief member introduction of a wastewater treatment project in the audience.

Summary:
The Environment, Energy and Technology Committee met to consider a series of Department of Environmental Quality rule dockets, beginning with an overview of program primacy and incorporation by reference of federal rules. DEQ explained that Idaho adopts federal hazardous waste, air quality, and drinking water rules to maintain primacy and keep state rules aligned with federal requirements, while committee members asked about timing, notice of federal changes, and why the rules are not written out in full. The committee approved the hazardous waste docket 580105-2501 and the air quality docket 580101-2501 after brief presentations describing annual federal updates and examples such as e-manifest, sulfur dioxide standards, and emissions reporting changes.
The committee also approved drinking water docket 580108-2501, which incorporated revised federal Consumer Confidence Report and Lead and Copper rules, and docket 580108-2502, a narrow technical correction restoring prior static pressure language for public water systems with an early effective date of sine die. DEQ then presented docket 5801-2-2501 on water quality standards, describing administrative updates to align Idaho rules with EPA actions, including removing arsenic from a hardness-based table and updating references to federal approvals; the committee approved it. The committee next approved docket 5801-13-2501, a temporary and pending rule for cyanidation ore processing updated to conform to Senate Bill 1170, with DEQ noting further negotiated rulemaking is underway for more substantive revisions.
Later, the committee approved docket 58-016-2501 on solid waste management rules, which DEQ said was part of zero-based regulation and focused on removing redundant language and improving clarity. Docket 58-0116-2501 on wastewater rules was also approved after DEQ described modernization changes, clarification for aquaculture facilities, and updates from public comment. The committee then approved docket 58-0112-2501 on administration of wastewater and drinking water loan funds, which reorganized affordability criteria into tiers for disadvantaged communities, clarified ineligible costs, adjusted professional liability insurance flexibility, and simplified waiver provisions. Finally, the committee approved docket 58-111-2501 on groundwater quality rules with an exception for two sections related to unresolved federal PFAS standards, after DEQ said those portions should wait for federal clarity; members also discussed the meaning of “shall,” “must,” and “will,” and one member noted a wastewater reuse pilot project before adjournment.

Summary:
The House Health and Welfare Committee met with a quorum, first introducing RS 33-691, which would refine last year’s SNAP restrictions on soda and candy to better preserve access to more nutritious foods while still excluding traditional soda and candy. Representative Redmond presented the proposal, and Representative Beiswenger moved to introduce it; the committee approved the motion and RS 33-691 was introduced.
The committee then heard House Bill 818, sponsored by Representative Green, which would require insurance coverage for fertility preservation for patients facing cancer treatment-related infertility. Representative Green, Dr. Rihanna Menon, Dr. Kristen Slater, and several patients testified that chemotherapy, radiation, and some surgeries can quickly and permanently affect fertility, that decisions must often be made within days, and that the out-of-pocket costs can be several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. Testimony also addressed the limited number of fertility clinics in Idaho, the short window for treatment, and the emotional burden on patients and families. An insurance representative explained that the bill would likely trigger a state reimbursement obligation for certain plans and noted the fiscal note.
Committee members raised questions about cost, insurance coverage, whether the bill should be limited to cancer-related infertility, and whether philanthropy or existing employer coverage could fill the gap. Representative Green said the bill was intentionally narrow, that the estimated state cost was about $150,000 with a small affected population, and that premium impacts would be minimal. At the sponsor’s request, Representative Rubel moved to hold HB 818 in committee rather than send it to the floor, and the motion passed. The bill was held for further work and possible reintroduction next year.

Summary:
The Senate convened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and several introductions, then moved into special order and returning messages. Early floor action included passage of HB 6503 (relief for Mandy Penny Lamon by Sarasota County), HB 1123 (sewer collection systems), HB 211 (farm products), and a joint resolution on ad valorem tax exemption for agricultural tangible personal property, all approved without opposition. Several other measures were temporarily postponed before the chamber recessed and later returned to messages from the House.
The Senate then took up a series of House amendments and conference-style motions on major bills. SB 180 on emergency preparedness and response was amended and concurred in after debate over hurricane recovery, local government moratoriums, evacuation timing in the Keys, and property tax and redevelopment provisions; it passed 34-1. CS/HB 1609 on waste incineration and auxiliary containers was heavily debated over plastic and polystyrene preemption, local beach and park regulations, and landfill/incinerator provisions, then passed 26-10. CS/HB 1205 on citizen initiatives was amended to allow volunteers to carry up to 25 petitions without registration/training and passed 28-9. The Senate also refused to concur in a House amendment to SB 234 on offenses against law enforcement, and in SB 116 on veterans, seeking to restore funding for veteran suicide prevention.
Later, the chamber approved or advanced several education and health-related bills. CS/HB 1255 on education was amended and passed, with changes to school readiness and other education provisions. CS/HB 875 on educator preparation passed after discussion of cognitive science, classroom management, teacher excellence programs, and the phaseout of the general knowledge test. CS/HB 1105, a large education package, passed after debate over charter school conversions, cell phone restrictions, and other school governance changes. In health care, CS/HB 1427 was introduced as a comprehensive package combining multiple health-related provisions, though the excerpt ends before final action on that bill. Throughout the day, the Senate also concurred or refused to concur in various House amendments on mental health, financial institutions, land development, brownfields, and out-of-network provider legislation, with votes generally recorded and several measures passing on divided but mostly favorable roll calls.

Summary:
The Senate opened with prayer, the Pledge, a quorum call, and approval of journal corrections. It then handled several House messages, appointing conference committees on Senate Bills 2004 and 2006 and House Bills 1018, 1019, and 1363, and re-referring House Bill 1216 to Appropriations. The chamber also adopted amendments to House Bill 1601, which would have expanded special assistant attorney general authority for certain offices, but the bill failed on final passage after strong opposition centered on preserving the Attorney General’s control and avoiding a solution in search of a problem.
A major portion of the day focused on education funding. House Bill 1369 was amended to raise per-pupil aid from 2% and 2% to 3% and 3% and to increase the school construction loan transfer from $75 million to $100 million; supporters said this would help local schools and military base projects, while opponents raised questions about special education placement language and state coordination. The bill passed 44-3. House Bill 1013, the DPI budget, was also amended extensively to adjust staffing, funding sources, grants, meal assistance, teacher training, and other education programs; it passed 45-2. House Bill 2234, dealing with Choice Ready grants, was amended to shift funding away from general funds and toward federal or other sources, but then failed on final passage after the sponsor urged a red vote.
The Senate also approved House Bill 1482, restricting bond and indebtedness elections for counties, cities, school districts, and park districts to primary or general election days, and House Bill 1332, creating a value-added agriculture facility incentive program with an emergency clause. House Bill 1010, the Insurance Department budget, passed unanimously after amendments reflecting the merger of the Securities Department into Insurance and adding staff and fee changes, while House Bill 1011, the separate Securities Department budget, failed because its funding was already included in HB 1010. House Bill 1584, a major pharmacy benefit manager reform bill, passed with an enforcement fund and new licensing/enforcement structure despite debate over ERISA and market transparency.
In other action, the Senate concurred in House amendments and passed Senate Bills 2226, 2230, 2069, 2082, 2387, 2385, and 2186, with SB 2186 on parenting time interference and a child custody task force passing 27-20 after debate over whether the issue should be left to the courts. Senate Bill 2234, on Choice Ready grants, and Senate Bill 2243, on driver’s license points and traffic penalties, both failed after concurrence motions were adopted but final passage votes were overwhelmingly negative. The chamber also advanced Senate Bill 2291 to conference committee consideration near the end of the transcript.

Summary:
The Joint Legislative Budget Committee approved the minutes from its March 5, 2026 meeting and then entered executive session, where it approved a recommended settlement. After returning to open session, the committee took up the Attorney General’s opioid settlement expenditure plan. Staff explained that Arizona will receive opioid settlement funds over many years and that the FY 2026 budget appropriated $10 million for distribution to five counties. The plan would allocate $2 million each to Coconino, Mohave, Navajo, Pinal, and Yavapai counties. Members expressed support, noting the funds would continue programs they viewed as effective, and the committee gave the plan a favorable review.
The committee also considered an Arizona Department of Administration request to transfer $7 million within the risk management revolving fund. Of that amount, $5 million would go to workers’ compensation losses and premiums to cover higher program costs, and $2 million would go to administrative expenses for higher-than-budgeted Attorney General contracted legal costs. Members described the transfer as a routine budget adjustment, and the committee approved it.
Before adjournment, members asked staff about recent revenue trends, including April numbers and sports betting revenue. Staff said April data were still being analyzed and no definitive figures were available yet. On sports betting, staff said Arizona’s tax rate is in the range of other states but tends to be on the lower end. The committee then adjourned.

Summary:
The House Health and Welfare Committee met with a quorum and first took up House Bill 558, presented by Representative Tanner. The bill concerns survivor benefits for foster youth, aiming to ensure Social Security or similar survivor benefits are preserved for the child rather than used by the state to offset administrative costs, and Tanner said it codifies an existing Idaho executive action. In response to questions, Tanner said the measure applies to foster youth survivor benefits and can also include veteran-related survivor benefits where applicable. The committee then voted to send HB 558 to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
The committee next considered RS 33377, introduced by Representative Cannon. He explained that the proposal would ban copay accumulator programs in health insurance, which he said prevent patient assistance coupons from counting toward out-of-pocket maximums and shift the benefit away from patients. Cannon said the bill is similar to pending federal legislation and to laws already passed in about 25 states, and noted Representative Furman as a co-sponsor. Representative Furman moved to introduce the RS, and the committee approved the motion.
With no further business on the agenda, the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The committee heard several House bills, most of them relating to family law and court procedure, and left each bill pending after testimony. House Bill 1916 would clarify that the court that issued a final divorce decree retains exclusive jurisdiction over later actions involving undivided property. House Bill 1973 would require a certified birth certificate, if reasonably available, to be filed with a SAPCR petition or allow alternative proof of parentage while keeping the information confidential. House Bill 2530 would add qualifications and procedural safeguards for appointing amicus attorneys in SAPCR cases, including notice and hearing requirements, minimum qualifications, conflict rules, and limits on what amicus attorneys may do. House Bill 2524 would make Family Code references to attorney’s fees consistent by using “reasonable and necessary” language. House Bill 3180 would correct a scrivener’s error in the civil discovery rules by changing “settlement” to “statement.”
The committee also heard House Bill 4213, which would change the interest rate on overdue child support from the current 6 percent simple interest to a fixed 5 percent and require the Attorney General to report on the impact of the change. Testimony was sharply divided: supporters argued lower interest could improve collections and help low-income obligors catch up, citing research and the size of child-support arrearages; opponents said lowering the rate would reduce incentives to pay and harm custodial parents and children. The Attorney General’s office raised implementation concerns about a House version that would have created a variable rate, while the committee substitute was described as restoring a simple fixed rate. After testimony, the bill was left pending.
The committee also discussed House Bill 40, updating business court provisions and supplemental jurisdiction; House Bill 3421, streamlining probate procedures for original wills and copies; and House Bill 417, clarifying venue for lawsuits involving private transfer fees on real property. Each drew limited testimony and was left pending. Finally, House Bill 3783 drew extensive testimony on court-ordered counseling and reunification therapy in family cases. The sponsor and supporters said the bill would protect children and abuse victims from coercive, unregulated reunification practices, while opponents argued it was too broad, could interfere with legitimate therapy and judicial discretion, and might affect military families and other high-conflict cases. The committee heard testimony from judges, therapists, parents, survivors, and advocates, but took no final action and left the bill pending.
