Summary: The House began with routine ceremonial business, including the Pledge of Allegiance, adoption of several congratulatory resolutions, and suspension of Joint Rule 12 to send two petitions to committee. It then took up a supplemental fiscal year 2026 appropriations bill (H. 5393 / H. 5493), which Ways and Means reported at about $227.3 million for items including snow and ice costs, no-cost calls, substance use services, homeless programs, and technical changes related to lottery revenue and other outside sections. The bill was advanced through second and third reading and later passed to be engrossed after a roll call vote. The chamber also passed to engrossment a land transfer bill for the Town of Marion (H. 5388) and a Bolton alcohol licensing bill (S. 2628, as amended). The House also enacted two local bills: one further regulating special meetings of the Holyoke City Council and one amending the charter of the town of Reading. A major floor debate centered on S. 2726, an act regarding free expression, which was framed by supporters as a response to book challenges and censorship in public and school libraries. Supporters, including Representatives Garballey and Moran, argued the bill would protect librarians, require reporting of book challenges, preserve age-appropriate access to materials, and keep challenged books on shelves during review; opponents raised concerns about parental rights and local control. Several amendments were offered and rejected, including one that would have removed a criminal-law protection for librarians and educators, and another that would have shifted school review authority more directly to elected school committees. Two amendments were adopted: one clarifying that challenged material is considered in its entirety, and another narrowing who may initiate certain complaints to parents or guardians of a student in the school. The bill ultimately passed to be engrossed by a large roll call vote. The House also debated and passed H. 5491 / S. 1646, implementing recommendations of the Walsh Kennedy Commission on hot work safety after the 2014 Beacon Street fire. Supporters said the bill would require certification for hot work, strengthen penalties for repeated or reckless violations, and improve public notification and enforcement to prevent future tragedies; the bill passed to be engrossed unanimously or near-unanimously after roll call. In addition, the chamber advanced a local land transfer for the Yankee Doodle Bike Path in Billerica and a bill concerning ownership and maintenance of culverts and dams in Town Line Brook and Lindenbrook. The session included several recesses, quorum checks, and recognition of guests, including Danvers High School graduates, a former state representative, and WGBH representatives for Public Media Awareness Day.

Summary: The Senate convened with a quorum, approved the journal, received substitute-designation correspondence, and heard several announcements and introductions. Committee reports moved multiple measures forward, including Senate Bill 1363 and House Bills 544, 642, and 723 to the second-reading calendar, while Senate Bill 1373 was sent to Finance and House Bill 703 and Senate Bill 1355 were sent for possible amendment. The Senate also received gubernatorial appointment notices for the Idaho Lottery Commission and State Building Authority, and a large batch of House-passed measures and memorials was read and referred to the appropriate committees. On the floor, the Senate passed several bills after debate and roll-call votes. Senate Bill 1285, concerning recognition of non-public school diplomas for occupational and professional licensure, passed 31-1. Senate Bill 1286, creating consumer protections for veterans benefits assistance, passed 31-0. Senate Bill 1323, relating to the Idaho Constitutional Money Act and enforcement of contracts requiring payment in gold or silver, passed 31-1. Senate Bill 1338, authorizing the state treasurer to invest a portion of idle moneys in gold and silver bullion, passed 24-0. Senate Bill 1342, allowing limited household egg production at detached single-family residences, passed 30-1 after some discussion about local control. The Senate also passed several House bills: House Bill 531 on epinephrine delivery systems in schools, House Bill 518 expanding authority for the Attorney General in human trafficking cases, House Bill 512 reinstating an open-book jurisprudence exam for land surveyors, House Bill 551 correcting urban renewal/fire and ambulance district budget treatment, House Bill 594 codifying a Supreme Court ruling on distribution of late property tax fees and interest, and House Bill 587 clarifying continuous authorization for rangeland improvement funding. House Bill 587 drew the most debate, with supporters emphasizing project continuity and reporting requirements and opponents raising concerns about continuous spending and legislative oversight; it ultimately passed 21-10. The Senate then reordered the third-reading calendar, moved to miscellaneous business, and adjourned until Monday, March 9, 2026.

Summary: The House convened with a quorum, approved the prior day’s journal, received substitute member appointments, and handled several messages from the Governor and Senate, including transmission of enrolled bills and committee referrals. Standing committee reports moved a number of bills to second or third reading, and several new bills were introduced covering manufactured homes, land use, execution procedures, dental hygiene, physician assistants, Medicaid, immunization/medical mandates, child protective act terminology, and election qualifications. On the floor, the House debated and passed House Bill 711, creating an alternative authorization pathway for principals and superintendents; House Bill 658, allowing county appointment of cemetery district board members when vacancies leave a district unable to govern; House Bill 661, changing a county waste-disposal provision; House Bill 715, giving city councils more authority over city library directors; House Bill 662, giving the Department of Agriculture authority to expand milk testing/payment rules; House Bill 687, restricting state procurement of AI systems built with DEI principles; House Bill 665, redirecting specialty plate funds to the Appaloosa Horse Club museum and adjusting related plate provisions; House Bill 666, requiring new Idaho residents to obtain a license and registration within 30 days; House Bill 712, creating a voluntary state seal of excellence in civics; House Bill 762, revising charter school lottery priorities to include foster children and military families; House Bill 777, updating the Uniform Controlled Substances Act; and House Bill 688, making knowingly installing counterfeit airbags a misdemeanor. Most passed with substantial majorities, though HB 687 and HB 688 drew the most opposition. The House also adopted a motion to hold the remaining third-reading bills for one legislative day, referred House Concurrent Resolution 31 commemorating Linden Bateman for printing, and signed/enrolled House Concurrent Resolution 28. The session ended with announcements and a motion to adjourn, with members noting the chamber’s workload and indicating the House would begin meeting at 10:30 a.m. the following day.

Summary: The committee first heard RS 32967 from Representative Manwaring, a proposal aimed at protecting state and public employees who communicate with the legislature. He said the bill would broaden existing whistleblower protections to cover good-faith communications with legislators, prohibit gag policies or retaliation for such communications, and create a specific statutory basis for legislative records requests. In response to a question, he gave examples involving budget-related conversations with employees and redacted information he had encountered. The committee moved to introduce RS 32967, and the motion carried. The committee then considered RS 33032 from Representative Church, which had been revised after earlier discussion. Church thanked members for support and explained that changes removed language referring to "crimes against the state" and replaced a 2025-only focus with language covering the past, present, and future, while still addressing events involving Charlie Kirk and Representative Hortman. Members asked for clarification on the revisions, and the committee voted to introduce RS 33032 and send it directly to the Second Reading Calendar. Before adjourning, the chair noted that only one RS remained for the next day and encouraged members to submit any remaining items quickly. The committee then adjourned.

Summary: The House State Affairs Committee heard RS 32967 from Representative Manwaring, which would expand protections for state and public employees who communicate with the legislature. He said the proposal would treat good-faith communications with lawmakers as protected activity, prohibit gag policies or prior-approval requirements, tie violations to whistleblower-style remedies, and add a specific public-records provision for legislative requests. In response to a question, he gave an example of an employee being restricted from meeting without others present and said the measure was intended to address such situations while preserving existing subpoena authority. The committee moved to introduce RS 32967, and the motion carried. The committee then considered RS 33032 from Representative Church, a measure focused on political violence and public trust in government. Church explained that the RS had been revised after earlier discussion: language referring to "crimes against the state" was removed because it was unclear, and a 2025 limitation was removed so the measure would apply going forward, while still referencing the 2025 incidents involving Charlie Kirk and Representative Hortman. Members voiced support, and the committee voted to introduce RS 33032 and send it directly to the second reading calendar. Before adjourning, the chair noted that only one RS remained for the next day and encouraged members to get any remaining items to the committee quickly. No further business was taken up.

Summary: The House opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and then took up several committee reports and procedural motions. It adopted congratulatory resolutions for Fire Chief Michael Sullivan of Wakefield and Joan Smith of Abington, and approved an extension until December 7, 2025 for the Committee on Public Health to report on current House documents. The House also concurred with a Senate referral of a petition on assisted living billing practices to the Committee on Housing, and suspended Joint Rule 12 to send two additional petitions to committee: one on penalties for reckless or negligent vehicle operation and another designating May 2 as Veterinary Youth Day. The Committee on Steering, Policy and Scheduling recommended six House bills for consideration, and the House suspended Rule 7A to take them up on second reading. Those bills concerned the Great Barrington Fire District, a technical change to the George L. Dairy Inland Fisheries and Game Fund, teacher strikes, an Arlington town manager act amendment, payment of an unpaid bill by the town of Ludlow, and additional liquor licenses for Scituate. The House ordered all six bills to a third reading. The chamber also observed silent tributes to Anthony Dugnan of Hamilton and Boston police Detective Bruce Higgins. On third reading, the House passed to be engrossed Senate Bill 23 on alternate members for the Swampscott Conservation Commission, House Bill 2879 on continued employment of a Lancaster firefighter, House Bill 3977 on alternate members for the Beckett Conservation Commission, and House Bill 4529 designating the Wider Park tennis courts as the Kim O'Connell tennis courts. The House then adopted an order to adjourn to meet the following Monday at 11 a.m. in informal session and adjourned.

Summary: The Senate convened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, roll call, and several guest recognitions, including a student honored for a national Mandarin speech contest, a Ms. Black Arizona candidate, and a Madison Elementary School reusable-tray pilot program. The body also recognized interns and approved the prior journal. The chamber then moved through Committee of the Whole calendars and adopted committee reports recommending passage of a series of budget-related bills. The main legislative business centered on the 2026-27 budget package and related omnibus measures, including appropriations, budget implementation, capital outlay, commerce, criminal justice, environment, health care, higher education, human services, K-12 education, state property, revenue/taxation, and transportation bills. Most of these measures were advanced with do-pass recommendations, with repeated debate focused on the tax omnibus and the overall budget’s policy choices. Supporters argued the package provided affordability, tax relief, conformity with federal tax changes, reduced government spending, and reforms to entitlement and other programs; opponents argued it favored corporations and wealthy taxpayers, cut health care, food assistance, housing, tourism, wildfire response, and education, and would forfeit federal matching funds. Several members specifically criticized the failure to close the data center tax exemption and to raise sports betting taxes, while supporters defended those provisions as pro-business and pro-growth. There was also discussion of fund sweeps, including university research funds, housing trust funds, and other agency balances, with opponents saying the sweeps targeted encumbered or already-committed money. After debate, the Senate adopted Committee of the Whole reports and advanced the bills, and later took up House bills introduced and placed on third reading, with members explaining their votes on HB 4138, the General Appropriations Act, largely along party lines. At the end of the session, the Senate processed messages from the House requesting the return of SB 1160 and SB 1786 for reconsideration, and the Senate requested the House return HB 2415 for reconsideration. The chamber also introduced and placed several House budget bills on third reading, including HB 4138 through HB 4153, continuing the budget process.

Summary: The committee heard several public safety and privacy bills, with extensive testimony on each. AB 1872 by Assembly Member Ta would make repeat swatting a wobbler and require offenders to compensate victims for property damage. Supporters, including civil liberties, sheriff, and district attorney representatives, said swatting is a serious and growing threat to first responders, schools, and public officials. Opponents argued existing law already covers false emergency reports and warned the bill could worsen penalties for people with mental illness. The committee approved the bill on a do pass motion to Appropriations. AB 1727, also by Assembly Member Ta, would make it a misdemeanor to transfer or sell a person’s genetic data without consent. Supporters framed the bill as a needed privacy protection in light of advances in genetic technology and AI, citing examples such as HeLa cells and concerns about unauthorized DNA collection. Opponents, including ACLU Cal Action, said civil penalties already exist under current law and objected to creating a new carceral offense for nonviolent conduct. The committee accepted amendments and moved the bill forward as amended to the Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee. The committee then took up AB 1782 by Assembly Member DeMaio, which would lower the threshold for retaining certain offenders with mental health disorders in state hospital custody and broaden the conduct considered in dangerousness determinations. Supporters said the bill responds to a recent release case and would help prevent dangerous releases; opponents, including disability rights and public defender groups, said it would weaken due process and expand involuntary confinement. The chair recommended a no vote, and the bill remained on call after a split roll. AB 1632 by Assembly Member Johnson, which removes the notarization requirement for trespass authorization letters, passed as amended despite opposition from homelessness advocates and public defenders who said it could increase arrests of unhoused people; supporters said it would reduce bureaucracy and help property owners and police respond to trespassing. The committee also heard AB 1968 by Assembly Member Gallagher, which would add conspiracy to commit murder to the list of offenses eligible for heightened juvenile court handling; supporters cited a foiled school attack in Tehama County, while opponents warned of overbroad punishment and racial disparities. The bill was discussed but not yet voted on in the portion provided.

HB 3037, HB 2760, and HB 1778 all passed 8-4, while HB 2830 passed unanimously 12-0. The committee also said it would not take up HB 1746 and HB 1769 yet, because more work was needed on an amendment. The public hearing began with House Bill 3005, sponsored by Representative Justice, which would require public and school libraries to adopt and post reconsideration policies for challenged materials, limit requests to local residents or parents/guardians, extend the process to digital materials, and prohibit tracking or retaining personalized user data from digital library resources. Justice said the bill was developed with the Secretary of State’s office and library groups and was intended to add transparency, local control, and privacy protections. Testimony from EBSCO Information Services and the Missouri Library Association supported the bill as a codification of existing library practices and a way to create clearer procedures. The committee then heard a group of similar bills on AI-generated or digitally altered depictions, including measures by Representatives Lucas, Farnan, Gallick, Schmidt, Williams, Houseman, and Dolan. The sponsors described the bills as closing loopholes in child pornography, revenge-porn, and digital impersonation laws, creating civil remedies, criminal penalties, and in some versions platform takedown requirements for nonconsensual altered images. Members raised questions about how to combine the bills, whether sunsets should be included, and how the proposals relate to existing revenge-porn law. No votes were taken on these bills during the hearing. Finally, the committee heard House Bills 2817 and 2961 on ibogaine research for veterans and other trauma-affected populations, followed by House Bills 1717 and 1643 on psilocybin and other alternative therapies. Supporters, including veterans, first responders, clinicians, and family members, described severe PTSD, TBI, addiction, and suicide crises and said these treatments had helped them when conventional care had not. Opponents, including the Missouri State Medical Association, said they did not support non-FDA-approved drugs. Members questioned the cost and structure of the proposed studies, the role of the FDA, and whether similar research is already underway. The hearing ended without a vote on these bills.
