Representative Hill presented RS 33521, the Foreign Adversary Investment Act, to prohibit state public investment dollars from being placed in adversary countries; it was introduced. Representative Hawkins presented RS 33543, which would make it illegal to knowingly help hide, transport, house, financially support, or otherwise assist people in Idaho whose presence violates federal law; the motion to introduce passed with recorded nays from Representatives Rubel, Birch, and Church. Representative Sauter presented three measures for special districts: RS 33530 on boundary adjustments and tax-base changes for fire and library districts, RS 33531 allowing fire and ambulance service districts to adopt development impact fee ordinances, and RS 33532 allowing certain special districts to use impact fee funds for up to 50% of fire apparatus replacement costs under a capital improvement plan.

• We have 14 members in a quorum. Thank you.
• “Amendment 13 is technical, and Amendment 14 provides that the members of the board of commissioners
• Well, it was 3%, but according to R.S. 47:574.1.1, you eliminate the 3%.
• Also, R.S. 47:574.14 eliminates it per diem. Yes, I’m not sure about that.
• Okay, and also R.S. 47:574(B)(3) does not exist. It stops at B, so just be aware of that.

Summary: The Committee on Municipal, Parochial and Cultural Affairs met on March 26 at 9:07 a.m., approved the prior session minutes, and then heard a series of local government and district-creation bills. Members and witnesses repeatedly emphasized regional cooperation, economic revitalization, and neighborhood security. The committee also welcomed several new members and staff before moving into the agenda. HB 892 by Rep. Hilferty would create the West End Economic Development District spanning Orleans and Jefferson Parishes to support redevelopment of the former Fitzgerald’s/Bruning’s site; the bill was backed by local officials, and members noted a survey-related legal description would be added later. HB 681 would raise the Lakeview Crime Prevention District’s maximum fee authority from $150 to $250, subject to district approval. HB 99 (Fair Day Downtown Entertainment District) was amended to revise board appointments, add sheriff’s patrol/arrest authority, and adjust board terms, then advanced favorably. HB 138/139 created or updated crime prevention districts in East Baton Rouge Parish, including Parkwood Terrace, Victoria Farms, and Parkview Oaks, with changes to fee-setting authority, boundary descriptions, and board composition; these bills were also moved forward. The committee also advanced HB 213, a cleanup bill for the Baton Rouge Downtown Development District that restructures the board to include property owners and lessees and adds powers and duties; members praised the district’s work downtown. HB 247 would create the Allen Parish Economic Development District and abolish the Allen Parish Tourist Commission, but an amendment preserved tourism-related functions, and the bill was supported by the Louisiana Travel Association. HB 122 created the Spring Lake Subdivision Improvement District with an election-based fee increase up to $325, and HB 462 changed the board composition of the Capital Area Road and Bridge District to add legislative members for oversight. Several other bills were deferred, including HB 788, HB 200, HB 12, and HB 239.

Summary: The Ways and Means Committee approved minutes from March 18, March 23 (morning and afternoon), and March 26. The committee then considered several RS measures related to administrative rules and education funding. RS 33804, presented by Rep. Erickson, was a concurrent resolution for Health and Welfare rules, reflecting rules that were not heard or were rejected; it was introduced and sent to the second reading calendar. RS 33810, presented by Rep. Alfieri, approved temporary and pending rules for the Idaho State Police, Sexual Offender Management Board, and Office of Administrative Hearings; it was also introduced and sent to second reading. Rep. Pickett presented RS 33808, a revised version of the IDLA-related legislation previously known as House Bill 918. He said it preserved the current board structure, removed an additional LSO audit requirement, kept dual credit provisions, struck language on advanced opportunity funds, maintained IDLA access for grades 6-12 while restricting K-5 enrollment, and clarified that private entities would not receive state reimbursement and would pay the full course fee. Rep. Church questioned whether the private-entity language would affect education tax credit receipts and objected to reducing IDLA funding, saying he would vote no. The motion to introduce RS 33808 and send it to second reading passed, with Rep. Church and Rep. Rubel recorded as nays. Rep. Moyle presented RS 33807, which would move the rules coordinator and related review functions from the Department of Financial Management to the legislative branch and eliminate the current eight-year review cycle for rules. He argued that rules have the effect of law and should remain under legislative control, while agencies would still conduct hearings and draft rules. Rep. Rubel asked whether executive-branch stakeholder outreach would continue, and Moyle said it would. The committee voted to introduce RS 33807 and send it to the germane committee, with Rep. Birch recorded as a nay. The committee then adjourned and announced it would meet again at 2:30 p.m.

Committee: House Administration of Criminal Justice

Summary: The Criminal Justice Committee met on March 25, 2026, and first voluntarily deferred HB 884. The committee then took up HB 806, which strengthens Louisiana’s hit-and-run laws by adding rapid notification procedures through law enforcement systems and clarifying investigative protocols. Vice Chair LaFleur and several family members of hit-and-run victims testified in strong support, describing the bill as a needed accountability and public-safety measure; it was adopted as amended and reported favorably. The committee also heard HB 143, which raises the per diem paid to sheriffs for housing state inmates in parish jails from $26.39 to $29.39 to match current appropriations practice. Sheriffs and committee members emphasized that local jails are underfunded and provide important programming and cost savings to the state; the bill was reported favorably. The committee next approved several local or criminal justice measures. HB 93, which places the Lincoln Parish jury commission under the clerk or deputy clerk, was reported favorably without opposition. HB 166, which removes Vermilion Parish from the Acadiana Regional Juvenile Justice District, drew discussion about regional juvenile detention funding and representation, with members noting similar concerns from other parishes; it was reported favorably. HB 429, which adds theft or unauthorized entry of critical infrastructure as a predicate crime for terrorism and expands protections for energy facilities, received support from industry groups and law enforcement, with one opposition card filed; it was amended and reported favorably. HB 231, creating the crime of intentional evasion of service of process for certain court orders, especially protective orders, was also amended and reported favorably after testimony from the sponsor and support from domestic violence and women’s advocacy groups. The committee then advanced a package of bills by Chairwoman Villio aimed at protecting minors and addressing impaired driving. HB 58 and its companion constitutional amendment HB 51 would restrict post-conviction bail for offenders convicted of aggravated offenses against minors; the Attorney General’s office and law enforcement groups supported the measures, while the Southern Poverty Law Center opposed them, and both measures were reported favorably. HB 69 would make it a misdemeanor to tamper with or circumvent court-ordered ignition interlock requirements while on probation or otherwise required by law, and HB 82 would increase penalties for repeat DWI offenders with prior serious injury or death-related convictions; both were supported by prosecutors, police, sheriffs, and MADD, amended where needed, and reported favorably. The committee adjourned after completing action on the listed bills.

Summary: The House convened with a quorum, opened with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, and then spent much of the morning on personal privileges recognizing guests and honoring individuals and organizations. Recognitions included the Zachary High School girls’ and boys’ basketball teams for back-to-back state championships, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity for Blue and White Day, visitors from Natchitoches Parish, the Louisiana Community and Technical College System, the Parish Presidents Association, Crime Stoppers of Greater New Orleans, student parents pursuing higher education, and a delegation from Alexandria honoring the late Dr. Joe S. Green. The House also adopted or laid over several condolence and commendation resolutions, including tributes to former Northwestern State football coach Sam Goodwin, Michael B. Jordan, Richard Williams, and others. The chamber received a large batch of Senate bills and House bills for referral, covering topics such as retirement systems, highway memorial designations, criminal justice, education, health and welfare, municipal governance, insurance, natural resources, and tax policy. Committee reports were read across multiple committees, with many bills reported favorably or with amendments, and several measures advanced to third reading or were recommitted to other committees. Among the actions taken, the House adopted resolutions honoring community figures and organizations, concurred in several Senate resolutions, and moved a number of bills forward, including measures on criminal penalties, school policy, environmental regulation, insurance, and public retirement. Near the end of the session, the Speaker outlined plans for the next day’s floor debate, noting 54 bills scheduled and explaining that questions on bills would send them to the bottom of the list rather than removing them. The House then recessed until 3:30 p.m., with members instructed to return for regular order and continued debate on the calendar.

Committee: House Education

Summary: The House Education Committee first approved minutes from February 18, 19, 20, and 23, 2026. The committee then heard House Bill 657, which would change charter school lottery priorities to give charter schools more local discretion while also adding foster children to the sibling category and allowing military-connected students on Title 10 orders to be considered in the lottery. Supporters, including military families, the Idaho Charter School Association, and the Idaho Charter School Network, said the bill would reduce enrollment barriers for military children who move frequently and often miss lottery windows. Opponents, including the Mountain Home superintendent and a retired senior master sergeant, argued it could harm Mountain Home schools and that a simpler fix would be to amend existing military enrollment law. The sponsor moved to hold HB 657 in committee and instead advance RS-33489, which the committee approved for introduction and referral to the second reading calendar with a due pass recommendation. The committee next considered House Bill 711, an alternate authorization pathway for principals and superintendents. Chairman Hawkins and Superintendent Critchfield said the bill is meant to help rural districts fill leadership vacancies by allowing experienced non-educators to enter school administration with mentoring and training, while not forcing any district to use the option. The Idaho School Boards Association and Idaho Association of School Administrators raised concerns about removing the master’s degree requirement, the breadth of the executive pathway, and the use of training funds for mentorships. A teacher and union leader also opposed the bill, saying educational leadership requires experience in law, budgeting, special education, and curriculum. After debate, the committee passed HB 711 out of committee with a due pass recommendation. Finally, the committee took up RS 32862 C1, which would move the STEM Action Center under the Workforce Development Council, require a 50% industry match, reduce overhead costs, and add performance measures for general fund spending. The sponsor said the change would create savings, improve coordination, and strengthen accountability. After brief questions about charitable contribution deductions and governance, the committee voted to introduce the RS. The chair then announced House Bill 712 would be moved to the next morning’s agenda, and the meeting adjourned.

Summary: The Ways and Means Committee approved the minutes from March 2, March 4, and March 6, then considered a series of RS introductions. Representative Furness presented RS 33665 to clarify that firefighter differential pay bonuses go to the intended frontline workers, and the committee voted to introduce it. Representative Barbieri presented RS 33624C1, a revised version addressing committee work-product accessibility and allowing the committee to determine otherwise by unanimous vote; Representative Rubel opposed it, but the motion to introduce passed with Rubel recorded as nay. Representative Schurz introduced RS 33680, a pared-down industrial hemp regulation measure incorporating prior feedback, and it was introduced. Representative Green presented RS 33631 to update Idaho’s electric-assisted bicycle classifications for road safety, and it was introduced. Representative Furman presented RS 33692, a fix to life insurance lapse notices supported by the Department of Insurance and insurers, and it was introduced. Representative Pickett presented RS 33681, a county waste and trash framework intended to protect county investments, increase transparency, regulate waste streams, and reduce liability; it was introduced. Speaker Moyle presented RS 33678, a concurrent resolution concerning the Bear River Basin and Idaho water use. He said it was not tied to Utah fuel-tax issues, and explained that it would create two reports: an early June snapshot on available water and current use, and a September report to the Natural Resources Committee on future opportunities and projects. Representative Monks said she would prefer a hearing in the Resources Committee, but the committee voted to introduce the resolution. The committee then adjourned.
