Bills: SB392, HJR1086

Keywords: judicial rules, public safety, state agencies, permanent rules, legislative approval

Summary: The committee, chaired in part by Vice Chair Norwood, considered two measures. H.J.R. 1086 was presented as the first resolution of the year, approving administrative rules for judicial and public safety agencies submitted by the February 1 deadline. After brief discussion, the committee moved to vote and passed the resolution 13-0. The committee then took up Senate Bill 392, which would extend the Oklahoma Strategic Military Planning Commission. Members noted the commission had expired on December 31 and that the issue had only recently come to their attention. The bill was moved for adoption, there was no further question or debate, and it also passed 13-0. After the votes, the chair thanked members for their work, noted that the education bundle had been completed and a draft was being prepared, and said rules for business and commerce had been sent out for review before the upcoming deadline week. The meeting then adjourned.

Bills: HB2095

Keywords: public safety, vulnerable users, pedestrians, protected classes, transportation, 904, all

Summary: The Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee held a public hearing on House Bill 2095, which would create training requirements for law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges on negligent driving involving vulnerable road users, and would establish a rebuttable presumption of negligence in certain civil claims when a vulnerable user is injured or killed in a protected area such as a sidewalk, crosswalk, or bike lane. The bill also allows recovery of actual damages, statutory damages, attorney fees, and, in limited circumstances, punitive damages if a defendant has previously been found civilly or criminally liable for injuring or killing three or more vulnerable road users. The prime sponsor said the bill is intended to improve police reporting, align legal responsibility with the person operating the vehicle, and encourage safer driving behavior in areas set aside for pedestrians and cyclists. Supporters, including family members of crash victims, bicycling advocates, a pedestrian advocate, a trial lawyer, and a physician, said the bill would better protect people who are walking or biking in designated spaces and reduce the burden on injured people and families to prove fault after serious crashes. They argued that current police reports and civil procedures often disadvantage vulnerable road users, that fee shifting and presumptions would deter wrongful denials of liability, and that the bill could improve accountability and road safety. One supporter also described a personal experience in which a family member was struck in a crosswalk and said the bill would help prevent similar harms. Opponents, including defense attorneys, the Association of Washington Cities, the Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, the Washington Trucking Associations, and the Washington Liability Reform Coalition, supported the training component but opposed the civil liability changes. They argued the presumption of negligence, fee shifting, statutory damages, and punitive damages would expand litigation, create uninsurable risk, increase costs for taxpayers and consumers, and potentially draw cities, businesses, and public entities into lawsuits. Several opponents also said the bill’s scope was too broad and suggested clarifying language, including limiting the punitive damages provision to individuals rather than “defendants” generally. No vote was taken; the chair closed the hearing and noted the bill would move toward possible executive action later, with amendment requests due before that stage.

Summary: The committee began with a work session on the Washington State Transportation Commission’s route jurisdiction transfer study. Staff explained that counties own about 49% of center lane miles, cities 22%, and the state 9%, and that only 16 route jurisdiction transfers have occurred since the process began in 1991. The study found the current state highway system is generally well connected and did not need wholesale realignment, but recommended clarifying statutory criteria, improving the transfer process, and strengthening interagency coordination and recordkeeping. Members discussed why transfers happen, who pays for transferred roads, and how the Legislature should handle abandonments and major decommissionings. House Bill 2172 was then heard, which would fold large abandonments into the RJT process, require pre-request conferences, add cost/risk reporting, update highway criteria, and require legislative approval for certain decommissionings. Support came from Tacoma, the Transportation Commission, counties, cities, and the Transportation Improvement Board, while the sponsor said a substitute would narrow the bill so agreed transfers could proceed without final legislative approval. The committee next heard House Bill 1367, which would allow motorcycles to travel on the right shoulder of limited-access highways in slow or stopped traffic, subject to speed limits and other restrictions. The bill’s substitute would limit shoulder use to wider shoulders, require hazard lights, bar overtaking on the shoulder, and assign liability for debris-related damage to the rider while shielding governments from claims. Testimony was sharply divided: motorcycle advocates and some riders said the bill would reduce fatigue, heat stress, and rear-end risk, while the State Patrol and WSDOT opposed it as unsafe, especially because shoulders are used for emergencies, maintenance, and incident response and may contain debris. The Department of Licensing and WSDOT described potential implementation and maintenance costs. Substitute House Bill 2174 would create local or state “crash prevention zones” on roads with repeated serious collisions or fatalities, require public notice and an engineering/traffic study, increase enforcement, and impose a $73 penalty for certain infractions in the zone, with revenue dedicated to safety improvements. The sponsor said it was intended as a temporary tool for dangerous corridors such as Highway 395 and Highway 12, while counties and cities supported the concept but asked for liability protections similar to the Senate companion bill. Finally, House Bill 2718 proposed major permitting and project-delivery reforms for transportation projects, including deadlines for agency permit meetings and decisions, early tribal and local consultation, deemed approval in some cases, a public contractor rating website, and a report on further streamlining ideas. The sponsor framed it as a “shot clock” approach to reduce delays and costs, and members raised questions about how the contractor ratings would work and whether the bill would alter existing performance review systems.

Summary: The Judiciary Committee first took up three previously heard measures in decision-making. SB 2418, which repeals the law prohibiting drug paraphernalia under the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, was amended to keep prohibitions on manufacturing-related paraphernalia and then passed. SB 2568, which elevates harassment against certain public officials to a misdemeanor, was amended to place it in the harassment statute, narrow the nexus language, and extend coverage to all public employees; it passed with amendments. SB 2661, dealing with nepotism rules in the code of ethics, was amended so the ethics restrictions would apply more broadly to legislators and judges as well, and it also passed with amendments. In each case, the committee reported no no-votes or reservations and adopted the measures. The committee then heard Governor’s Message 684, the nomination of Judge Stephanie Char to the Fifth Circuit Court on Kauai. The governor’s office testified in strong support, and the Hawaii State Bar Association representative said the usual review process found her qualified. Judge Char described her Kauai roots, 17 years as a public defender, and service as a district family court judge since December 2020, saying she would bring hard work and continued commitment to access to justice. Members questioned her about recusals on a small island, her experience handling criminal and civil matters, sentencing repeat offenders, administrative appeals, and how she would approach competency and fitness issues under HRS 704. Char said she had recused only a few times, emphasized case-by-case sentencing and probation conditions tailored to underlying problems, and said she would rely on preparation and education for unfamiliar administrative matters. On 704 cases, she said defendants awaiting evaluation should generally remain in custody, with possible diversion or strict release conditions in appropriate cases, and that those found unfit would need to be sent to Hawaii State Hospital. No vote was taken on the nomination; the committee announced it would decide on Monday, February 23, at 10:45 a.m. in Room 016.

Summary: The committee first took up SB 2094, which would require state agencies monitoring environmental toxins and pollutants to establish environmental action levels and limit changes to those levels without meeting procedural requirements. The chair recommended passing the bill with amendments, including inserting estimated costs for a secure portal website and webinars into the committee report and deferring the effective date to July 1, 2050. The motion passed unanimously among those voting, with excused members noted. The committee then considered several other measures and adopted recommendations to pass them with amendments, generally adding technical and clarifying changes and setting a defective date of 2525. SB 2862 was amended to broaden the preamble, make additional appointees confirmable, clarify reporting requirements for gubernatorial appointees, and was held for further discussion. SB 2781 on lei production created a working group to review existing studies and conduct a statewide study of Hawaii’s floriculture industry. SB 3015 adopted California’s definition of PII, applied it to government agencies and political subdivisions, created a private cause of action, and required a compliance report. SB 3230 removed a categorical prohibition on certain third-party project management procurements while preserving state oversight responsibility, in line with procurement office requests. The joint GVO Health and Human Services agenda then focused on two related bills requiring universal changing accommodations in public restrooms. SB 2932 would apply to new state building construction beginning July 1, 2026, and testimony from disability advocates, the Hawaii State Council on Developmental Disabilities, and others supported the measure while asking for language clarifying that the requirement applies only where technically feasible and, in some cases, only to state-managed buildings. SB 2268 was described as broader, extending beyond government buildings into the private sector and including a private right of action; witnesses supported the concept but raised implementation concerns, especially for smaller businesses, and requested the same technically infeasible language and other clarifications. Both bills were advanced with amendments, and the committee noted adoption of the recommendations.

Summary: The committee meeting was dominated by discussions surrounding gun violence legislation and the implications of proposed bills aimed at easing access to firearms. Numerous advocates and survivors of gun violence shared their emotional testimonies, expressing concerns about the safety of children and communities in the aftermath of tragic incidents. Notable speakers included representatives and community leaders who condemned the proposals that would allow younger individuals to obtain handguns and reduce restrictions on firearm carry in schools. The meeting concluded with a rallying call for lawmakers to prioritize public safety over the interests of gun lobbying groups.

Summary: The committee first heard two related House Joint Resolutions sponsored by Representative McQueen. H.J.R. 6 would equalize the legislature’s 60-day and 30-day sessions into two 45-day sessions, remove the germaneness requirement from the second session of a biennium, and clarify veto-override language. H.J.R. 7 would keep the current 60-day and 30-day session lengths but make the same germaneness and veto-override changes. Supporters argued the measures would modernize the legislature, improve internal control of the agenda, and make the flow of work more efficient; opponents warned of more bills, lobbying fatigue, and reduced public participation. Both resolutions were moved on due pass and passed the committee 8-0. The committee then heard House Bill 120 on limiting student restraint and seclusion in schools. The sponsor and LESC staff said the bill arose from a stakeholder working group and would clarify definitions, prohibit dangerous practices such as mechanical, chemical, and prone restraint, require training and school safety plans, improve reporting to parents and the Public Education Department, and strengthen oversight. Testimony from educators, disability advocates, parents, and state officials strongly supported the bill, describing harmful and sometimes underreported restraint and seclusion incidents and emphasizing the need for clearer rules and de-escalation training. Some members raised concerns about implementation, definitions, teacher safety, and whether the data were sufficient; the sponsor and staff said the bill was meant to give teachers tools and minimum standards, not to require intervention in every situation. The bill passed on a due pass motion 9-1. Next, the committee considered House Bill 60, which would add certain crimes against peace officers to the Victims of Crime Act so officers injured in the line of duty would receive the same notification, participation, and restitution-related rights as other victims. The sponsor and the district attorney supporting the bill said it was a public safety measure with negligible cost and would also extend protections to affected family members. Support came from law enforcement, business, and public safety groups. Members asked about whether the officer must know the assailant is a peace officer, how the rights would work if the officer is also a witness, and how restitution interacts with workers’ compensation; the sponsor said the bill applies when the officer is acting in the lawful discharge of duties and the defendant knows the person is an officer. The committee passed HB 60 unanimously, 11-0. Finally, the committee began hearing House Bill 151, a committee substitute on the childhood sexual abuse statute of limitations. The sponsor said the bill, called the Survivor’s Justice measure, would extend the time for survivors to file claims from age 24 to age 58, add public actors to the bill’s scope, and create an administrative compensation fund supported by an appropriation, with $12.5 million already in the budget and a request for another $12.5 million. The sponsor explained that the change reflects the average age at which survivors come forward and that the bill is part of a long-running effort to address childhood sexual abuse claims.

Summary: The committee heard four bills. HB 2107 would make permanent and slightly narrow a pilot requirement for the Department of Labor and Industries to notify employers or owners within 10 working days when a hazard is found during an on-site inspection at a building construction site. Construction industry groups and L&I supported the bill and said the pilot had worked well, with L&I reporting it had been able to notify owners in almost 96% of cases. No opposition was raised, and the hearing was closed. HB 2137 would remove the 70,000-population threshold for binding interest arbitration for correctional employees in city and county jails. Teamsters witnesses said the change would give corrections officers in smaller jurisdictions the same bargaining rights as other uniformed personnel and could improve safety, staffing, and wages. The Washington State Association of Counties opposed the bill, saying it would increase bargaining and compensation costs for many counties, and asked for amendments requiring arbitrators to consider county finances and making arbitration decisions nonbinding on county appropriations. The hearing was closed without a vote. HB 2264 would clarify unemployment insurance eligibility for workers who volunteer for an employer-initiated layoff or reduction-in-force plan, removing a court-created “final action” requirement that has led to benefit denials when workers can rescind their election. Supporters, including unemployment advocates and a worker who lost benefits after accepting a severance program, said the bill would prevent workers from being wrongly treated as having quit. NFIB asked about the effect of severance and retirement on eligibility, and ESD said it would follow up in writing. The hearing was closed. HB 2243 would allow physical therapists and occupational therapists to serve as attending providers in the workers’ compensation system. PT and OT witnesses said this would speed access to care, improve return-to-work outcomes, and reduce costs, while business groups, retailers, food industry representatives, NFIB, and the Washington State Medical Association opposed the bill, arguing that attending providers must be able to make accurate diagnoses, certify time loss, and handle impairment ratings, and warning of possible added costs, litigation, and administrative burdens. L&I said adding PTs and OTs as attending providers would require all providers in those categories to join the medical provider network and could cause some to leave the system; the committee closed the hearing and adjourned without taking action.

Summary: The Public Safety Committee met and first held House Bill 3045. It then heard and passed several bills, beginning with HB 1250, which creates a public safety technology revolving fund for Attorney General grants to support the Blue Jay pilot program, a voluntary traffic-stop safety app. Members questioned whether the fund would actually be financed this year and how municipalities would be selected; the author said no funding source was yet identified and the bill was only creating the fund. HB 1250 passed 8-0. The committee also passed HB 2710, creating the Oklahoma Emergency Communications Act and a 15-member board to develop a strategic plan for improving emergency radio communications among state, local, and tribal agencies. The author explained the bill was meant to address communication gaps and interoperability problems, with no fiscal impact. HB 3831, dealing with Oklahoma Task Force One, drew extensive discussion over its funding structure and blank appropriations language. The bill would place the urban search and rescue team in state law and seek a reliable funding source; members discussed the team’s statewide disaster response role, its Tulsa and Oklahoma City bases, and a carve-out excluding wildland firefighting. It passed 8-0. Other measures approved included HB 4408, which sets a protocol for calculating and directing savings from State Questions 780 and 781 into the proper drug diversion account; HB 1002, requiring law enforcement to inform stalking victims about certified domestic violence program advocates; HB 3008, extending the sunset date for the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence to 2031; HB 3086, requiring the Department of Corrections director to keep the Board of Corrections informed about budgets and inmate deaths; HB 3595, creating a DPS revolving fund for counties and municipalities to buy vehicle-barrier equipment to prevent crowd-vehicle attacks; HB 3678, expanding electronic-harassment protections for public officials to include municipal officials and school board members; HB 4107, establishing penalties for unauthorized activation or misuse of emergency warning sirens; and HB 3695, revising the definition of great bodily injury in a DUI-related context. HB 3595 passed 6-1 and HB 4107 passed 6-2; the other bills passed unanimously or near-unanimously after brief questioning and debate.
