Summary:
The committee first handled pending business, including reconsidering a failed vote on SB 715 and then reporting several measures favorably. SB 1978 was reported from committee on a committee substitute, and a series of House bills — including HB 431, HB 1522, HB 1922, HB 3228, HB 3229, HB 3803, HB 3804, HB 3805, HB 3806, HB 4219, HB 4238, HB 434, HB 1584, and HB 4739 — were moved out of committee, most to the local and uncontested calendar. The votes on these items were overwhelmingly or unanimously in favor, with committee substitutes adopted where applicable.
The committee then heard HB 2963, a right-to-repair bill for consumer electronics. The author said the bill would require manufacturers to provide parts, tools, and documentation on fair and reasonable terms while preserving trade secrets and excluding certain categories such as medical devices, motor vehicles covered by an MOU, critical infrastructure, and commercial-only transactions. Supporters from the Texas Public Policy Foundation and Environment Texas argued it would strengthen property rights, help small businesses, and reduce e-waste. Opponents, including representatives of SafeLight Auto Glass and LKQ, said they supported right-to-repair in principle but objected to the bill’s automotive MOU exemption and broader scope, warning it could create uncertainty and leave some manufacturers and repair shops outside the framework. The bill was left pending after testimony.
Members also heard HB 2467 on salary parity for State Fire Marshal investigators, HB 252 on allowing some state agencies to pay certain employees twice monthly, HB 2468 on public improvement district notice and a buyer’s right to terminate, HB 4386 on annuity contract exchanges and surrender timelines, HB 4751 creating a Texas Quantum Initiative and related fund, and HJR 175 proposing a constitutional amendment protecting Texans’ ability to use mutually agreed-upon mediums of exchange, including cash, bullion, and digital currency. Testimony on HB 4751 was largely supportive but included questions about whether the state needs a new coordinating structure and funding mechanism for quantum research and commercialization. HJR 175 drew discussion about barter, taxes, and concerns over central bank digital currency. Each of these items was left pending after hearing testimony.
The committee also heard HB 2221, which would update insurance anti-rebating laws to allow more wellness and value-added services in life and health insurance, with supporters saying it would encourage healthier behavior without requiring data monitoring. Finally, the committee took up a package of utility and wildfire-related bills from Chairman King’s portfolio: HB 106, requiring oil and gas operators to maintain certain overhead electrical lines; HB 144, requiring utilities to submit pole inspection and management plans to the PUC; and HB 145, requiring wildfire mitigation plans and allowing utilities to self-insure under certain conditions. Utility, co-op, and insurance representatives generally supported the safety and resiliency goals of HB 144, while asking for clarifications and less frequent reporting; HB 145 was introduced as a broader wildfire-risk and liability measure. These bills were also left pending after testimony.

Summary:
The House convened, took roll, approved the journal, and received several communications, including notice that Randolph J. Hill was designated as a substitute member for District 14, Seat A. The chamber also received Senate messages on enrolled and passed measures, including Senate Bill 1396 and Senate Concurrent Resolution 127, and reported action on multiple House bills that had passed the Senate or been enrolled for signature. House Bill 969 and House Bill 970 were introduced and sent for printing, while Senate Bill 1436, relating to state procurement and cooperative/group discount purchasing, was introduced and referred to committee.
The main floor work focused on budget bills. The House suspended rules and passed Senate Bill 1432, the Health and Welfare indirect services/licensing and certification budget, after discussion of a modest increase tied to board repeals, replacement items, and IT modernization. The chamber then debated and passed Senate Bill 1433, the large Health and Welfare Medicaid budget, with extended debate over Medicaid expansion, child welfare, federal matching funds, provider rate cuts, supplemental costs, and whether policy changes should be made outside the budget process. Members also passed Senate Bill 1434, the Division of Welfare budget, which included changes for SNAP administration costs, Medicaid expansion work requirements, and eligibility system updates driven by federal law and prior state changes.
The House also passed Senate Bill 1437, a trailer appropriation for Idaho State Police to fund DNA and thumbprint sampling for certain misdemeanor offenses, and House Bill 968, a year-end transfer bill that moved funds to support the bottom line, including reversion language for payroll funds and transfers involving interest and other accounts. Debate on House Bill 968 included criticism that the legislature was leaving money in reserves while cutting services. Later, after recess, the House returned and passed Senate-amended House Bills 730, 758, and 928, which dealt respectively with SNAP eligibility timing, daycare licensing language, and merit-based health care/occupational hiring provisions. The House then adjourned until the next morning.

Transcript Highlights:
- I'm curious about something that I'm seeing around the filing officer for judges is now the commission
- We don't file our financial disclosures with the clerk of the House, and neither should they have it
- But every judge has to annually file the financial disclosure form, same as I believe legislators.
- And that's, of course, public on the MEC filings. But it never comes up. Never once, all the time.
- But if they were, they could file a motion for change of judge.
Summary:
The committee first heard House Bill 3423 from Rep. Darren Chappell, which would require judges in Missouri courts of record to file annual financial disclosure statements, bar judges from hearing cases involving people who have given them money, and extend similar disclosure rules to members of judicial nominating commissions. Chappell framed the bill as a transparency and ethics measure. Business groups supported the proposal, but judges, bar groups, and trial and defense lawyers opposed it, arguing existing judicial ethics rules already address gifts and recusals, that the bill is overly broad in covering “anything of value,” and that it could create unintended consequences, including strategic donations to force recusal and reduced public access to judicial financial disclosures. The Supreme Court’s representative said the bill should be read alongside the full Code of Judicial Conduct and offered to provide the committee with that material. No vote was taken.
The committee then heard House Bill 2922 from Rep. Jeff Myers, which would align Missouri’s right-to-try law with federal law by extending access from terminal illness to debilitating conditions and by addressing the use of Schedule I drugs in that framework. Myers said the bill is intended to help ensure access to emerging treatments and has passed in various forms in prior sessions. There was no opposition testimony, and the hearing concluded without action.
Next, the committee heard House Bill 2643, also from Rep. Senate, the “Hope for Missouri Patients Act,” which would expand right-to-try access for individualized treatments such as gene therapies, enzyme replacement therapies, and substrate reduction therapies for patients with rare or debilitating diseases. Supporters, including the Goldwater Institute, a parent of a child with a rare disease, and Americans for Prosperity, said the bill could help patients access customized treatments sooner and reduce red tape. The sponsor and witnesses emphasized that the bill would not require insurance coverage and is meant to help patients who cannot wait for lengthy clinical trial or FDA pathways. No opposition testimony was offered.
Finally, the committee heard House Bill 3204 from Rep. Senate, which would create a tax credit to encourage private donations to prevention resource centers that work on substance misuse prevention. Supporters from prevention organizations and advocacy groups said the credit would strengthen local prevention coalitions, reduce future treatment and criminal justice costs, and stabilize funding for services such as school education, early intervention, and suicide prevention. One opponent warned that Planned Parenthood could qualify as a prevention resource center and receive tax credits, but supporters said they had no concern about that. The hearing ended with no vote or other committee action, and the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The Senate convened with 33 members present and one excused absence, then proceeded through prayer, the pledge, and approval of the prior journal. Members also received communications, including notice of a temporary substitute senator and a governor’s letter withdrawing a reappointment to the Idaho Human Rights Commission, which was referred back to State Affairs.
The chamber then considered several gubernatorial appointments. The Senate adopted committee reports and confirmed Brian Skigliano and Leighton Lining to the Idaho Commission on Human Rights, Gregory Donica and Nora Carpenter to the Idaho Health Insurance Exchange Board, and later Salvador Cruz’s appointment was also taken up in the sequence of business. Senators highlighted each nominee’s background and qualifications, and the reports were adopted without recorded opposition. The Senate also adopted Senate Joint Memorial 108, which urges federal action to protect Idaho livestock owners from adverse grazing-permit consequences when filing depredation claims; Senate Joint Memorial 106 was sent back to committee after a correction was noted.
On legislation, Senate Bill 1227 passed after debate over a framework for generative AI in education. Supporters said it would preserve human judgment, local control, and parent transparency while helping schools prepare for AI; opponents raised concerns about vague definitions, implementation, and possible overreach. The Senate also passed Senate Bill 1226, expanding DNA sample collection to include misdemeanor sexual battery and misdemeanor domestic violence convictions, with supporters citing public safety and victim accountability and one senator noting budget concerns. Finally, Senate Bill 1225 as amended passed, codifying university presidential search procedures and changing public disclosure rules so only the sole finalist’s name is released, with a minimum 10-day public vetting period. The Senate adjourned after miscellaneous announcements and set its next meeting for the following day.

Assembly Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee Mar 25th, 2025
Transcript Highlights:

- This is for file item one, AB 60, authored by Assembly Member Papin.
- We're going to move to file item 3, AB 916, Assembly Member Lee, who has arrived.
- This is file item number three, AB 916, authored by Assemblymember Lee.
- All right, file item number three, AB 916, authored by Assembly Member Lee.
Summary:
The Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee met to adopt its rules, establish quorum, and approve a consent calendar of five bills, all sent to the Committee on Appropriations. The committee then heard three measures: AB 638 by Assembly Member Rodriguez on stormwater capture for irrigation of urban public lands; AB 60 by Assembly Member Papin on banning synthetic nitro musks in cosmetics and personal care products; and AB 916 by Assembly Member Lee on restricting certain antibacterial soap ingredients in consumer hand soaps and body washes.
AB 638 was presented as a climate and water-supply measure directing the State Water Resources Control Board to develop guidelines for capturing and safely reusing stormwater for irrigation. Supporters, including NRDC and several environmental groups, argued it would reduce potable water use and help move stalled projects forward. The bill drew no opposition and received strong support from committee members, including requests to coauthor. It passed the committee on a due pass motion to Appropriations.
AB 60 would ban synthetic nitro musks in cosmetics and personal care products due to health and environmental concerns. Supporters cited endocrine disruption, reproductive harms, persistence in waterways, and international restrictions. The bill passed on a due pass motion to the floor, with one member not voting. AB 916 generated the most debate: supporters said the three targeted antimicrobials offer no added benefit over plain soap, may contribute to health harms and antibiotic resistance, and should be banned in consumer products while exempting health care settings. Opponents argued the ingredients are already under FDA and DTSC review, raised preemption concerns, and warned of costs and impacts on food handling and other uses. After extensive discussion, the committee approved AB 916 on a due pass motion to the Committee on Health, with several no votes.

Summary:
The Assembly convened after a quorum call and prayer, then handled several procedural matters before moving to the daily file. Members approved a motion to withdraw Assembly Bills 100 through 219 to the second reading file by a roll call vote of 42-15, and unanimously approved re-referrals of AB 440 and AB 1265 to different committees. The chamber also welcomed international visitors, student and community guests, and later heard a series of guest introductions tied to agriculture, immigration, and Irish heritage.
The main floor action centered on two resolutions. H.R. 19, recognizing California Agriculture Day, drew strong support from members representing agricultural districts, who highlighted the state’s farm production, exports, and the role of farmworkers and ranchers; the resolution was adopted by voice vote after 65 co-authors were added. ACR 51, honoring Irish American Heritage Month, was also adopted by voice vote after 66 co-authors were added, with members speaking about Irish immigration, labor history, California-Ireland ties, and St. Patrick’s Day.
The Assembly also held multiple adjournment-in-memory tributes for the Honorable Leon Lawson Williams, a pioneering Black civic leader in San Diego who served on the City Council and County Board of Supervisors and helped expand public transit and advance civil rights. Members from San Diego and others described his barriers-breaking career and lasting influence on local government and community leadership. The House then received announcements about upcoming committee hearings and adjourned until Thursday, March 20, at 9 a.m.
