Special Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs
Transcript Highlights:
- Aye. 12 ayes and zero noes. House Bill 3381, do pass. Due pass. All right.
Summary:
The Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs considered House Bill 3381 and Senate Bill 1351. For HB 3381, members adopted a committee amendment clarifying guidelines for forgiving late fees in unusual circumstances or situations beyond taxpayers’ control, then rolled it into a substitute and advanced the bill. The final roll call on the House Committee Substitute for HB 3381 was 12 ayes and 0 noes, and the bill was reported due pass.
The committee then took up SB 1351, which was amended through a committee substitute that expanded the bill to include several education-related provisions. Members discussed additions including a literacy-related effort to develop a plan for incorporating cursive into standards, a driver safety framework, and other previously heard education items. One member raised concern about whether the bill sponsor supported the expanded scope and said they would not support the bill because of the process, though the chair said sponsor support had been discussed with the sponsor’s office.
The committee also adopted a Media Literacy and Critical Thinking Act amendment, described as a pilot program and standards-development effort focused on student media literacy and critical thinking, especially in light of AI. After rolling the amendments into a new substitute, the House Committee Substitute for SB 1351 was advanced on a roll call vote of 11 ayes and 2 noes, with Representatives Smith and Wolfin voting no.

Transcript Highlights:
- Madam Chair, there are 10 ayes, zero nays, three excused. Thank you.
Summary:
The Technology, Economic Development, and Veterans Committee met for what was described as its last meeting of the session and took executive action on three bills. Members also noted plans for at least one interim meeting in Olympia, including a possible briefing from the Department of Commerce and a tour of the Emergency Management Center.
The committee first considered Senate Bill 6046, which would allow the Civil Air Patrol to be dual-hatted to operate under either federal or state authority. Supporters said the bill would formalize an existing arrangement and give the Civil Air Patrol more flexibility for search and rescue and wildfire support. The bill passed out of committee with a do pass recommendation on a 10-0 vote, with 3 excused.
Next, the committee approved Substitute Senate Bill 6149, which updates the definition of a rural county to a population threshold of 45,000 for purposes tied to grants, loans, and public facilities funding. Members said the change would preserve eligibility for counties that have lost rural designation and noted the broader issue of how rural areas are defined as populations grow. It also passed 10-0, with 3 excused.
Finally, the committee took up Substitute Senate Bill 6289, creating a statewide economic development and competitiveness strategic plan. The committee adopted amendment Whale 402, changing the required update cycle for the plan from every two years to every five years, and then passed the bill as amended. Supporters said the plan would help guide statewide economic development and manufacturing efforts and that the longer update cycle was more fiscally prudent. The final vote was 10-0, with 3 excused, and the committee then adjourned.

Keywords:

Summary:
The committee first considered House Bill 2786, with Representative Stinson presenting a PCS as the working draft. He explained the bill as supplemental funding for the Department of Mental Health to close out its 2025 budget and pay obligations the department had fallen short on. The committee moved quickly to a do pass vote, and the bill was reported out 31-0 with no nays.
The committee then took up House Bill 2787, with Representative West presenting a PCS as the working draft. She described the bill as a one-time $2 million supplemental for previously established costs tied to the Choosing Childbirth Program, saying the funding was needed to avoid a lapse in services for nearly 4,000 mothers and babies until the Oklahoma Pregnancy Care Network can re-enter bidding in 2028. She emphasized oversight and transparency measures, including provider vetting, invoice review, annual evaluations, and a reported 97% of expenses going to client services.
Members raised concerns about accountability, transparency, and why the funding should come from state general revenue rather than private sources, noting prior audits and news reports. Representative West said the network is a 501(c)(3), uses private dollars as well, and that the program is a public-private partnership already established by law. She also said she would share the 2025 tax return information with the committee. The committee then voted to report HB 2787 out do pass by a vote of 26-5, and adjourned.

Summary:
The committee first approved the minutes from Wednesday, February 11, by voice vote. It then heard House Bill 543 from Representative Ben Furman, which would update Percy Choice language to comply with the federal SECURE Act 2.0 by allowing after-tax Roth contributions in the 401(k)-type plan. The bill was described as a conformity update, and the committee moved it to the floor with a due pass recommendation by voice vote.
Next, the Idaho Division of Veterans Services presented a pending rule docket removing obsolete rules related to domiciliary care, which the agency no longer provides. The administrator explained that assisted-living-type care is available elsewhere, but not through the division. The committee approved the rule docket by voice vote.
Finally, the Department of Commerce presented its grant program rules under the governor’s zero-based regulation initiative, describing the rewrite as non-substantive housekeeping to remove redundant or outdated language, align with statute, and clarify definitions and funding limits. Members asked about a change allowing the department to require matching funds, and staff explained that the language gives flexibility to reduce or waive match requirements in hardship or disaster situations, or potentially require more in some cases. The committee approved the docket by voice vote.

Summary:
The Rules Committee considered House Bill 2074, which the Rules Attorney described as an abortion-related reporting measure tied to Arizona’s 2024 constitutional amendment (Prop. 139) protecting a fundamental right to abortion. He noted that the new constitutional landscape makes the bill’s legality uncertain and that the reporting requirement could be viewed as interfering with that right. Members asked about the misdemeanor penalty and whether other Arizona laws impose reporting requirements on the exercise of a fundamental right. Representative Daniel Santos opposed the bill, arguing it would criminalize doctors, nurses, and volunteers and violate the will of the voters. The committee voted 5-3 to recommend HB 2074 as constitutional and in proper form.
The committee then took up a mass motion covering numerous other bills, memorials, and a resolution, all recommended as constitutional and in proper form. The Rules Attorney said the measures were generally in proper form, with one comment on House Bill 2110, which concerns prayer at school board meetings. He explained that the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed prayer at some governmental meetings, but lower courts are split on whether school board meetings fall under that rule, and he said the sponsor was working with the office on a possible floor amendment to address legal concerns.
After no further questions, the committee voted 8-0 to recommend the measures in the mass motion as constitutional and in proper form. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The Senate Health and Welfare Committee convened with a silent roll call and welcomed a new committee secretary, Madison Cray, who briefly introduced her background in administrative work at the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses and her Idaho roots. The committee also welcomed two pages, Finn Meekam of Eagle High School and Cooper Smith of Nampa, who each introduced themselves and answered a few light questions from senators about their interests, future plans, and travel experiences.
Senator Birke then gave an update on the committee’s upcoming administrative rules review, noting that Madison and the pages had prepared organized binders, a binder key, a spreadsheet showing the first week’s docket and chapters to review, and an agency contact list. He said the committee would begin reviewing rules the week of the 19th and encouraged members to use the materials and contact agencies with questions.
The chair also referenced the Department of Health and Welfare’s most current “facts, figures, and trends” document as a resource for upcoming work. Members were told that if any administrative rule needed more time or additional information, the committee could delay action rather than vote immediately. No bills were heard and no votes were taken; the meeting ended with a reminder for members to discuss any proposed legislation with the chair in advance, followed by adjournment.

Summary:
The committee considered several alcohol, marijuana, nicotine, and ABLE Commission bills. House Bill 3011 was amended to clarify that home beer brewing would not be taxed if the beer is not being sold, and then passed by recorded vote. House Bill 3143, extending the moratorium on marijuana licenses, and House Bill 3144, adding a cap to prevent a large number of licenses if the moratorium is lifted, both passed. House Bill 3881, creating a regulatory framework for alternative nicotine products including e-liquids and vape products, passed after a question clarified it does not apply to medical marijuana vapes.
The committee also advanced House Bill 3519, which replaces the current bond requirement for abandoned grow sites with an annual $2,000 fee paid to OMMA, creates a revolving fund capped at $5 million for cleanup costs, and waives the fee after five consecutive years of ownership in the same name as the license. Members discussed how the fund would be used and whether it was protected from legislative sweeps. House Bill 3522, requested by the Restaurant Association, requires the ABLE Commission to report its disciplinary actions annually and passed unanimously.
Finally, House Bill 3530, with a committee substitute adopted as the working draft, sets timelines for ABLE licensees to produce requested documents. It also passed by recorded vote. The meeting then adjourned.
