Summary:
The committees resumed discussion of amendments to a bill dealing with licensing moratoria, change-of-ownership rules, and related provider oversight issues. Amendment A8 would prevent a licensing moratorium for certain intermediate care service settings from blocking a new license when the change is due to a change of ownership, including temporary licenses and transitional licenses. Department of Human Services staff said they were still reviewing the language but explained the department’s concern was maintaining program integrity and ensuring owners go through full change-of-ownership review so the agency can see who owns a provider and check compliance history. Senators supporting the amendment argued it would keep legitimate businesses from being harmed by a moratorium and could help preserve providers when ownership changes or family members take over after a death. A8 was adopted on a roll call, with both committees voting in support.
Amendment A9, also on the moratorium topic, would exempt a change of ownership from the moratorium so long as it does not increase license capacity or service scope. The department said it needed more analysis to avoid unintended consequences, but the amendment was added to the working bill. Amendment A10 proposed a more detailed, data-driven framework for the moratorium and included a provision about refunds after implementation; department staff said the language would add cost and would require technical assistance, while senators emphasized the need to address licensure backlogs and avoid making provider delays worse. A10 was approved by the committees, though not unanimously.
Amendment A11 would have set standards for how the commissioner designates provider types or program areas as moderate or high risk, with added transparency criteria. The department said the commissioner already has that authority and raised concerns about federal requirements and the state’s corrective action plan, and Senator Hoffman withdrew the amendment. Amendment A12, offered by Senator Fateh, would preserve remote supports by removing bill language that repealed the service and would add safeguards for remote overnight supervision, including staffing ratios to ensure emergency response times can be met. Several senators supported keeping remote services as an important, cost-effective option amid workforce shortages, while the department said it had program integrity concerns and supported the governor’s proposal to remove the service. The committee nevertheless advanced A12, with members noting the need to balance safety and integrity with access to services.

Summary:
The task force opened with a moment of silence for the Louisville UPS plane tragedy, approved the October 15 minutes, and reminded members to submit policy recommendations before the December 16 meeting, when the group will discuss its report to LRC. The first informational presentation, from the Department for Public Health, focused on youth vaping. Elizabeth Good and Julie Brooks cited a recent Surgeon General report warning that youth vaping can harm brain development, mental health, lungs, asthma, and hormones, and noted Kentucky survey data showing 8.7% of students reported daily vaping and 19.7% used vaping products in the prior 30 days. They described prevention and cessation resources including Catch My Breath, I Can End the Trend, Not on Tobacco, My Life, My Quit, Quitline services, and the Kentucky TRUST retailer education program, which trained 3,371 individuals in 2024 and distributed 253 Tobacco 21 toolkits.
The next presentation came from Kentucky ABC on implementation of SB 100, which created the division of tobacco, nicotine, and vapor product licensing. Commissioner Scotty Tracy and Jamar Carter said all retailers selling tobacco, nicotine, or vapor products must be licensed, regulations were filed October 31, 2025, and the online application portal is live. In response to questions about sales to minors, they said violations carry escalating fines for clerks and owners, with a fourth violation resulting in no license renewal for two years and unpaid fines also blocking renewal. They said complaints can be submitted through the portal, by phone, or on the ABC website, and enforcement investigates tips and may use underage compliance checks.
The committee then heard from Kim McKenna Johnson of One Cross Community Health, who argued for a “deficiency-first” and holistic approach to care centered on nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation. She said her clinic serves more than 7,000 patients in Taylor and Marion counties and described a model that includes primary care, behavioral health, functional medicine, addiction recovery, and chronic care. She cited Kentucky health rankings, claimed nutritional deficiencies cost the state billions, and said many children are overprescribed while undernourished. She urged broader insurance coverage for nutritional testing and supplements, rural demonstration grants, and Medicaid pilots for clinically prescribed supplements. Members asked about testing costs, dietitian support, long-term cost savings, compliance, and whether medications are often used to prevent damage from noncompliance; the presenter said the lab tests are generally covered, supplements are the main cost barrier, and seeing lab results can improve family buy-in. No votes were taken during the meeting.

Transcript Highlights:
- On this matter, 151 in the affirmative, zero in the negative. The amendment is adopted.
Summary:
The House met with several welcoming and ceremonial items at the start, including recognition of visiting school groups and a special order to escort Representative-elect Hannah L. Bowen to the Governor’s Office to be qualified. Members also observed moments of silence honoring former Senator Louis P. Bertinazzi and former Representative Evelyn B. Chesky, and the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s notice of the 6th Essex District special election results was placed on file, with congratulations extended to Representative Owen of Beverly.
The main business was consideration of House 4150, a fiscal year 2025 supplemental appropriations bill totaling about $529.8 million. The House suspended rules, advanced the bill through second and third reading, and later passed it to be engrossed. A consolidated amendment was adopted by a vote of 149-1, and the bill itself passed to be engrossed by 149-1. The House also took up Senate 2508, establishing a sick leave bank for Andrew Cetra of the trial court, and ordered it to a third reading.
Two floor amendments drew debate and were adopted by roll call. Amendment 61, offered by Representatives Peisch and Moran, codified protections and practices for English language learners and students with disabilities, including district responsibilities for identification, services, assessments, and nondiscrimination; it passed 148-1. Amendment 27, offered by Representative Rogers, clarified that post-certified law enforcement officers at private colleges and universities are included in firearms-related exemptions under the state’s firearms modernization law; it passed 151-0. The House then adopted an order to meet the next day at 11 a.m. and adjourned in memory of Representative Chesky.

House passes so-called “Payment Transparency Act” to help subcontractors get paid 5/6/26
Minnesota House Floor Meeting
Transcript Highlights:
- There being 133 ayes and zero nays, the bill is passed as amended in its title to grant you.
Summary:
The House took up Senate File 1714, a bill on state government and payment transparency in public contracts. Representative Scott explained that the measure is intended to help Minnesota contractors and subcontractors know when public project payments have been made by requiring public owners, upon written request, to provide pay application and payment information within seven days at no cost. He said the bill had bipartisan support and backing from stakeholder groups, including trade associations and public entities, and that it would improve transparency for small businesses and workers waiting to be paid.
The bill was amended with a technical change adding a missing word, and the amendment was adopted without opposition. During floor discussion, Representative Cleborn supported the bill, while Representative Berg asked whether trade unions supported it and noted that unions already have collective bargaining rights. Representative Sexton responded that IBEW and several trade unions had reached out and were very supportive. Scott later said he had received a text from Berg indicating support as well.
After discussion ended, the House took a roll call vote. The bill passed as amended by a vote of 133 ayes and 0 nays.

Committee:
House Crime and Public Safety
Summary:
The Committee on Crime and Public Safety met in executive session with a quorum present and considered three measures. First, members took up Senate Substitute for Senate Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 1652, offered a House committee substitute, and discussed changes clarifying that an office was created within the Department of Public Safety rather than targeting women and girls. The bill was described as addressing missing persons and trafficking concerns, though one member objected that the language was not inclusive enough. The committee adopted the House committee substitute and then voted the bill do pass by a 12-1 vote.
The committee next considered Senate Bill 1572, which was explained as a cleanup bill for several retirement-related issues, including St. Louis Police Board appointment timing, recovery of overpayments, refunding small accounts, and a quorum change for the St. Louis teachers’ retirement board after its membership was expanded. Members asked whether the changes affected pension benefits, and were told they did not alter payments or retirement system structure. The House committee substitute was adopted, and the bill received a unanimous do pass recommendation, 16-0.
Finally, the committee heard House Bill 3533, with a House committee substitute removing sports betting language and leaving only changes to riverboat admission fees and licensee tax rates. Members discussed the size of the increase, noting the current fee had not changed since 1993 and that the costs could be passed on to consumers. The committee adopted the substitute and then voted the bill do pass by a 9-7 vote, with one member present.

Summary:
The committee first handled several housekeeping items: SB 1330 was withdrawn, SB 1381 was laid over, and SB 1618 was transferred to rules. It then heard a series of bills, mostly criminal justice, public safety, and regulatory measures, with members repeatedly moving due pass recommendations after brief explanations and little or no debate.
SB 1589 would strengthen penalties under Oklahoma’s sweepstakes law and extend coverage to entities profiting from illegal gambling, while not affecting ordinary entertainment games. SB 1441 would make it a crime to fly a drone in the airspace of, or make contact with, designated critical infrastructure facilities such as refineries, power stations, telecommunications sites, and manufacturing facilities, with exceptions for recreational use and authorized law enforcement. SB 1224 would require clemency-related hearing notices to be sent to victims by email as well as mail, and SB 372 was described as a cleanup bill clarifying where firearms may be carried.
Other bills addressed theft, domestic violence, expungement, fraud, and impersonation. SB 1232 would create a felony and raise fines for copper theft; SB 1264, after an adopted amendment, expanded the definition of great bodily injury to include concussions, brain bleeds, and injuries affecting more than 10% of the body, making domestic abuse causing such injury a felony. SB 1450 dealt with consistency in fines and fees across counties and prompted discussion about county-by-county obligations and court revenue impacts. SB 2011 would treat assault and battery against OJA contract employees the same as against employees, SB 2030 would delay implementation of the Clean Slate expungement automation initiative to 2027 and backlog processing to 2029 without expanding eligibility, SB 1980 would protect against gift card fraud after an amendment changing the mental state language to “knowingly and willfully,” and SB 1936 would make falsely impersonating a law enforcement officer a D1 felony. The committee reported the bills out with due pass recommendations, with votes recorded on several measures, including unanimous or near-unanimous approvals.

- There is, either Senator Pedersen or I frequently say this, there is zero sunlight between what he just
Summary:
Legislative leaders from the Washington Senate and House reflected on the end of the 60-day session, saying they were relieved to adjourn on time despite last-minute negotiations and a fire alarm evacuation. They described the session’s main goals as protecting Washington from federal actions and improving affordability, and said they made progress on both fronts. Among the measures highlighted were bills related to masking for law enforcement, election data security, joining the West Coast Health Collaborative, using science in vaccine and health-care recommendations, protecting immigrant rights, prohibiting impersonation of law enforcement, setting uniform standards for law enforcement, and the Flock camera bill.
They also emphasized affordability and budget actions, including the “millionaires tax,” which they said would help fund tax relief on items such as diapers, over-the-counter medicines, and hygiene products, along with free school lunches and an expanded senior and disabled property tax credit. Leaders said all three budgets were completed, and credited unusually strong collaboration among House, Senate, and governor’s staff for getting the operating, transportation, and capital budgets across the finish line. They also noted a bill expanding energy assistance for low-income residents.
In response to questions, leaders said the data center tax break bill fell short because it lacked votes in Ways and Means, with labor concerns and the pace of regulation cited as major issues. They said the Mosquito Fleet bill did not advance because the House and Senate could not reconcile differences in time. Looking ahead, they said juvenile rehabilitation, jobs in response to federal tariffs, data center regulation, education funding, health-care access and hospital support, charity care, public defense funding, and AI regulation are likely to be priorities next session. They also said their relationship with the governor improved significantly this year because of more regular communication and alignment.

- There is, either Senator Peterson or I frequently say this, there is zero sunlight between what he just
Summary:
Legislative leaders from the Senate and House gave a session wrap-up focused on the major priorities they said were accomplished in the 60-day session: protecting Washington from federal actions, improving affordability, and passing the state budgets on time. They highlighted bills on masking for law enforcement, election data security, joining the West Coast Health Collaborative, using science in vaccine and health-care decisions, protecting immigrant rights, prohibiting impersonation of law enforcement, setting uniform standards for law enforcement, and a Flock camera bill. On affordability, they pointed to the “millionaires tax” package, which they said will eliminate sales tax on certain hygiene products, over-the-counter medicines, and diapers, expand school meals, and help fund investments in state services. They also cited a larger senior and disabled property tax credit and energy assistance for low-income residents.
The leaders said the House and Senate budget teams worked closely together, especially after the final revenue forecast, to complete the operating, capital, and transportation budgets despite concerns about the state’s fiscal outlook. They described the governor’s relationship with legislative leaders as stronger this year, with more regular communication and coordination. They also noted that some bills did not make it through, including the Mosquito Fleet bill, which stalled because the House and Senate could not agree on changes, and a data center tax break bill, which did not have enough votes in Ways and Means and drew significant concern from labor and construction trades about job impacts.
Looking ahead, they said juvenile rehabilitation, public defense funding, data center regulation, education funding, health-care access, and a possible jobs package will likely be priorities next session. They also said the new AI bill provides a starting point for future regulation. No formal votes were taken in the exchange itself; the discussion was a press availability summarizing session outcomes and unfinished business.

Committee:
House State Affairs
Summary:
The committee first approved the minutes for Wednesday, March 4, and Thursday, March 5, by voice vote. It then took up House Bill 793, which Speaker Moyle said would redirect a share of alcohol tax revenue away from the permanent building fund and instead split it between the Alcohol Beverage Control account and an Idaho State Police salary account. He said the bill was intended to help fund alcohol enforcement and ISP salaries without raising taxes, and a member noted that related license-fee revenue had been declining. Representative Church moved to send the bill to the floor with a due pass recommendation, and the committee approved the motion by voice vote.
The committee next considered RS 33447, a joint memorial introduced by Representative Tanner criticizing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and describing fraud in Minnesota state programs, including nutrition, child care, Medicaid, housing stabilization, and pandemic relief funds. Tanner argued the memorial was meant to highlight government accountability and taxpayer protection. Representative Diger moved to return the RS to the sponsor, saying the memorial would pull the committee into negative political rhetoric. The committee agreed and returned RS 33447 to the sponsor by voice vote, ending the meeting.
