Summary:
The New York State Senate Committee on Housing, Construction, and Community Development met on May 18, 2026, with a quorum present and several members participating by vote sheet. Chair Brian Kavanagh opened the meeting by noting it was likely the committee’s last meeting of the session and thanked members and staff for their work. Senators also offered brief remarks of appreciation for the chair and the committee’s collaborative process.
The committee advanced four bills. S.2523A (Ramos) would establish a jobs and housing pilot program to create construction jobs and address the housing crisis; it was reported to Finance, with Senator Walsack voting no and Senator Martins voting AWR. S.8612 (Kavanagh) would make clarifying changes to the good cause eviction law; the chair said it had been extensively negotiated with tenant and landlord stakeholders and had broad support, and it was reported with Senators Martins and Walsack voting AWR. S.8918A (Kavanagh) would create the Build Up New York pilot program and a mass timber for affordable housing program, along with related tax credits; it was reported to the floor unanimously.
The committee also considered S.9287 (Hensh), which would create a real property tax exemption for certain full-time residents in certain counties. Members discussed whether the bill would create a new property class or instead shift tax burdens within the one- to four-family home class, and raised concerns about impacts on second homes and local school budgets. Supporters argued it resembled a homestead exemption and could help local residents. The bill was reported to Finance, with Senator Martins voting ADBR. The meeting then adjourned after the final agenda item.

Summary:
The Senate Health and Welfare Committee considered and advanced four RS drafts to print. RS 33228, presented by Senator Cook, would establish a rural health transformation oversight committee to manage and monitor Idaho’s rural health transformation funds; he explained the only change from a prior version was committee composition, increasing legislative appointees to three senators and three House members, plus one nonvoting gubernatorial appointee, while still requiring at least three rural appointees. The committee asked a few questions about the membership changes, then moved and approved the RS for printing.
Senator Blaylock presented RS 32891 as a code cleanup measure with no policy change, updating and removing obsolete provisions related to the Petroleum Clean Water Trust Fund, including outdated board appointment and distribution language. The committee had no substantive questions and voted to send it to print. Senator Galloway then introduced RS 3301C1, which would make technical corrections to foster care law, remove the two-month hearing requirement for youth ages 18 to 23 in extended foster care, and expand expedited placement to include kin as well as relatives; she said the changes would help place children more quickly and had no fiscal note. The committee approved that RS for printing as well.
Finally, Senator Wintrow presented RS 33161, which directs the Department of Health and Welfare to study and make recommendations on Medicaid for Workers with Disabilities, specifically whether the program should allow participants to keep working beyond age 65 without losing coverage or facing a steep cost increase. She described the issue as affecting a relatively small number of people but one that could create a major affordability cliff for workers with disabilities, and said the bill would require a report by December 1. After questions about how the proposal relates to Medicare and whether other states do similar things, the committee moved and approved the RS for printing. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The Committee on Education Postsecondary heard and approved CS/SB 1694, which would revise general education core standards at public postsecondary institutions to incorporate technology-related instruction. The adopted amendment shifted the bill away from creating a sixth core course and instead required technology integration within existing core courses to include digital literacy, AI tool application, and related instruction in areas such as software engineering, networks, databases, and cybersecurity as applicable. For high school computer science courses, the amendment added guidance on critical evaluation of AI results, AI limitations, and ethical use of AI. The committee adopted the amendment and then voted the bill favorably.
The committee also took up confirmation appointments on tabs 1 through 2 and, on one motion, recommended confirmation of all appointees favorably. In addition, it considered SPB 7038 on postsecondary education and workforce development, which addresses tuition and fee policies, consumer protections, career and technical education, student acceleration, and institutional operations. Members asked about dual enrollment expansion, CIE licensure exemptions, and the removal of the Classic Learning Test as a fee-waiver qualifier; staff said the dual enrollment change was intended to expand student options without necessarily increasing enrollment, the CLT removal was an error to be corrected, and a Florida Dental Association representative raised concern about preserving the long-standing exemption for dental assisting programs. The committee moved SPB 7038 as a committee bill and reported it favorably.

The Committee on Education Postsecondary heard and approved CS/SB 1694, which revises postsecondary general education standards to incorporate technology-related instruction. The adopted amendment shifted the bill away from creating a sixth core course and instead required technology-integrated general education courses to include digital literacy, AI tool application, and related content such as software engineering, networks, databases, and cybersecurity as applicable. The amendment also addressed high school computer science instruction by emphasizing critical evaluation of AI results, limitations of AI, and ethical use. After brief questions and no opposition, the committee voted unanimously to report the bill favorably.
The committee also took up a confirmation package for appointments on tabs 1 through 2 and, on one motion, recommended confirmation of all appointees favorably. It then considered SPB 7038, a committee bill on postsecondary education and workforce development that touches tuition and fee policies, consumer protections, career and technical education, student acceleration, and institutional operations. Senator Berman asked about dual enrollment expansion, CIE licensure/jurisdiction, and removal of the classic learning test as a fee-waiver qualifier; the sponsor said the dual enrollment change was intended to expand student options without necessarily increasing enrollment costs, and that the classic learning test removal was an error to be corrected later.
Joanne Hart of the Florida Dental Association appeared in support of preserving the existing exemption for dental assisting programs from CIE requirements, noting the programs are approved by the Board of Dentistry and help address workforce shortages. After discussion, the committee adopted the motion to submit SPB 7038 as a committee bill and then voted unanimously to report it favorably. The meeting concluded with adjournment.

Summary:
The Revenue and Taxation Committee met on January 23, 2026, and considered only one item: RS 33071, Representative Jeff Ehlers’ annual tax conformity bill. Ehlers explained that the proposal would conform Idaho tax law retroactive to calendar year 2025 and forward to federal changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill, while continuing Idaho’s longstanding nonconformity with bonus depreciation. He said the bill also addresses federal R&E/R&D expensing and allows individuals to benefit from the federal changes, which he described as providing tax relief to Idaho taxpayers.
Ehlers also said the bill would prevent “double dipping” by taxpayers who might otherwise use the same qualified expenses for both the new federal deduction and Idaho’s research activities credit or investment tax credit. Representative Gannon questioned the fiscal note, arguing that the Tax Commission’s estimate appeared too low compared with analyses from the Tax Foundation and other states, and raised concerns that the true revenue impact could be much higher, potentially affecting future budgets. Ehlers responded that the Tax Commission’s zero-impact view applied to the credit portion, while the main cost came from the R&D deduction and the personal provisions, and he said the committee’s fiscal estimate of about $155 million was based on the midpoint of Tax Commission estimates.
After discussion, the committee took up Representative Raybould’s motion to introduce RS 33071. The motion passed on a voice vote, with one recorded nay, and the bill was introduced. The committee then adjourned.

Summary:
The House opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by the Wellesley High School girls’ swim team, which was formally recognized for winning its sixth Division Two State Swim and Diving Championship. The chamber also received a resignation letter from Representative Natalie M. Blay of the First Franklin District, effective January 19, 2026, and placed it on file.
The House then acted on several committee reports and scheduling orders, including extensions of reporting deadlines for the Education and Public Service committees, all adopted by voice vote after suspension of the rules. The Steering, Policy and Scheduling Committee recommended three local matters for consideration: H.4349, waiving the maximum age requirement for a Boston police officer candidate; H.4888, establishing a sick leave bank for a Department of Children and Families employee; and H.4908, establishing a sick leave bank for a Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office employee. These bills were read, ordered to a third reading, and later advanced.
The House passed to be enacted H.4175, amending the Provincetown charter, and H.4379, amending the Greenfield charter. It also concurred in a Senate amendment to H.4363, authorizing a land conveyance in Wellesley, and engrossed H.4721, relating to the Dalton Fire District Board of Water Commissioners, and H.4813, authorizing Milton to grant on-premises all-alcohol licenses. H.4717, concerning Orange’s annual town meeting, was amended on the floor and then passed to be engrossed as amended.
Finally, H.1110, a consumer protection bill concerning subprime loans, was amended to discharge the bill from further consideration and then referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. The House adopted a special adjournment in memory of former Representative Salvatore Semino and adjourned to meet the following Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. in an informal session.
