Summary:
The Senate convened with a quorum present, received prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, and approved the prior day’s journal as corrected. Leadership announced that gubernatorial appointments would be taken up Monday and that only one bill would be considered in the 13th order that day. In the fifth order, Senate Resolution 113 was introduced by the State Affairs Committee; it condemns political violence and honors victims, and was referred to the Judiciary and Rules Committee for printing.
Committee reports and bill introductions followed. The Judiciary and Rules Committee reported several measures correctly printed and referred them to the appropriate committees, and the Commerce and Human Resources Committee reported Senate Bill 1221 do pass. In first reading, the Senate received Senate Bills 1244 through 1247, covering regional library systems, education funding and related school policy, law enforcement officers and facial coverings, and E-Verify requirements for employers; these were referred to Judiciary and Rules for printing. Second-reading bills 1227, 1226, and 1225 as amended were advanced to third reading.
The Senate then considered Senate Bill 1222, which revises domestic well provisions and clarifies the definition of “subdivision” for purposes of the domestic well exemption. Senator Anthony said the bill was intended to correct how last year’s changes were being applied, especially to already-developed subdivisions, and to make the law apply prospectively. After brief debate, the bill passed the Senate by a vote of 29 in favor with six absent, and was transmitted to the House.
During miscellaneous business, senators introduced guests and announced a 10:30 farewell ceremony for the Liberty Bell on the Capitol steps, including a final ceremonial ringing before refurbishment. The Senate also adjourned by motion until 11 a.m. Monday, February 2, 2026.

Committee:
Senate State Affairs
Summary:
The Senate State Affairs Committee heard testimony from Layton Lenning on his gubernatorial appointment to the Idaho Commission on Human Rights. Lenning described his background as a prosecutor and attorney with experience in employment and entertainment law, and said he would approach the quasi-judicial role by being fair, impartial, and efficient. Committee members asked about his goals for the commission, and he said he had no policy agenda beyond careful, unbiased decision-making. The committee said it would vote on his appointment at a later meeting.
The committee also heard from Brian Skagliano, a long-serving member of the Idaho Commission on Human Rights, on his reappointment. Skagliano said he has served nearly 20 years and described the commission’s work as reviewing investigations to determine cause or probable cause in discrimination cases. In response to questions, he said the commission is working through a backlog, expects to be caught up soon, and that roughly 6 to 9 percent of cases result in probable cause findings. He emphasized that many complainants simply want to be heard and receive an explanation, even when a case does not result in a finding of violation.
The committee then approved several appointments: Megan Ronk to the Commission on Human Rights and Salvador Cruz to the Treasurer’s Advisory Committee, both with recommendations for confirmation. Finally, the committee introduced RS 32980, a proposed constitutional amendment related to public lands, sponsored by Senator Adams. Supporters said the measure was developed after broad public outreach, while Senator Ruchti noted interest in hearing from tribes, conservation groups, Farm Bureau, and others, as well as in understanding potential fiscal impacts if the state were to manage lands acquired from the federal government. The motion to send the RS to print passed, and the committee adjourned.

Committee:
House Education
Summary:
The committees heard testimony on HB 1872, which would create an early learning apprenticeship grant program to help early childhood providers participate in approved apprenticeship programs, require annual reporting, and appropriate funds. Testifiers in support included the University of Hawaiʻi, the Executive Office on Early Learning, the City and County of Honolulu, Commit to Keiki, the Chamber of Commerce Hawaiʻi, the Commission on the Status of Women, Hawaiʻi Children’s Action Network Speaks, Parents for Public Schools of Hawaiʻi, and Kīʻoka Family Learning Centers. Supporters said the bill would reduce financial barriers, strengthen recruitment and retention, improve compensation and career pathways, and help address child care shortages and workforce instability. The committee then voted to pass HB 1872 with amendments, including an HD1 and a defective date to allow further discussion.
The committee next took up HB 2489, which would appropriate funds for the University of Hawaiʻi to establish a bachelor’s degree program in American Sign Language interpretation, with a longer-term plan for a master’s program. Testimony in support came from the Disability Communication Access Board and the University of Hawaiʻi, and members also heard detailed support from DECAP and other advocates describing a statewide shortage of ASL interpreters, long waiting lists for ASL courses, and the need for locally trained interpreters who understand Hawaiʻi’s cultural and community needs. Witnesses said the shortage affects schools, courts, hospitals, emergency services, and other settings, and that the program could be expanded through articulation with other campuses. The committee voted to pass HB 2489 with amendments, again using an HD1 and defective date.
After those two measures, the committee moved to HB 441 on campus safety, which would require students, including transfer students, to complete training on federal laws and university policies regarding sexual misconduct before initial registration and would change how often training is provided to students and employees. The University of Hawaiʻi stood on its written testimony, while supporters including IMUA Alliance and other testifiers urged passage, citing survivor experiences, national best practices, and the need for prevention before harm occurs. No vote on HB 441 was reached in the portion provided.

Summary:
The House convened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, journal approvals, quorum call, and a series of guest recognitions, including students, interns, local officials, and advocates visiting the chamber. Members also announced caucus and committee meetings, and the House recessed before returning later in the day for floor action.
After reconvening, the House adopted several committee reports and then considered a series of resolutions and bills. It adopted House Resolution 462, designating May 17, 2026, as World Neurofibromatosis Awareness Day, and House Resolution 553, designating May 19, 2026, as Pontian Greek Genocide Remembrance Day, both by 200-2 votes. The chamber also agreed to House Bill 733 on marriage ceremony law, House Bill 2529 on scheduling metatomidine as a Schedule 3 controlled substance, and Senate Bill 1294 on civil penalties for unlicensed commercial driving schools.
The House then debated House Bill 2359 on data center nondisclosure agreements and related amendments. One amendment requiring hyperscale data centers to pay their own energy and infrastructure costs failed on a 101-101 tie, while another amendment to make the bill effective immediately passed 201-1 and a third amendment to protect trade secrets failed 87-115. The bill itself was agreed to after amendment. The House also approved House Bill 2455 on collective bargaining rights for Pittsburgh school administrators, House Bill 2499 on State Workers Insurance Fund investment authority, Senate Bill 604 joining the Counseling Compact, and House Bill 1006 on penalties against abusive towing practices, with one agreed-to amendment added.
Several measures then passed finally by recorded vote: House Bill 2014 on opportunities for minors in emergency service organizations, House Bill 2037 on cryptocurrency-related ethics restrictions for public officials, House Bill 2512 prohibiting ride-share pricing based on certain device conditions, House Bill 2644 authorizing capital bridge projects, and House Bill 2559 on Millersville University and other conveyances. House Bill 2559 drew floor criticism from Representative Conklin over the state land conveyance process, though it still passed 154-48. Before adjournment, the House recommitted several bills to Appropriations, removed additional Senate bills from the table calendar, and adjourned until June 30, 2026, at 11 a.m.

Committee:
House Agricultural Affairs
Summary:
The House Agricultural Affairs Committee approved the January 20, 2025 minutes and then took up an RS, introduced by Rep. Jaron Crane, promoting natural sugar in school lunches and breakfast programs as part of Idaho’s support for the MAHA movement. The committee voted to introduce RS 32944C1, with lighthearted discussion about “sweetening” the proposal. Crane and others framed the memorial as a way to encourage federal officials to prioritize real sugar over artificial sweeteners and to support Idaho sugar beet growers.
The committee then heard a panel from the Snake River Sugar Beet Growers Association and Amalgamated Sugar on the economic condition of the sugar beet industry. Growers described sharply lower prices, rising input costs, and tightening margins, saying many farms are near break-even or losing money and that smaller family farms are especially vulnerable. A presentation on regenerative agriculture emphasized soil health practices such as strip-till, cover crops, and compost/manure use, while noting that cover crops are costly and may be reduced in tight years. Questions from members focused on glyphosate availability, the effect of losing herbicides on tillage practices, and whether more incentives or federal help could support production.
Amalgamated Sugar’s Jake Hancock explained the cooperative’s role in Idaho’s economy and described the federal sugar program, arguing that low prices are being driven by excessive imports, USDA demand overestimates, and an outdated high-tier import duty that has not kept pace with inflation. He said the recent federal increase in the sugar loan rate helps, but long-term sustainability requires raising the duty and better aligning import policy with domestic production costs. Several members expressed support for a joint memorial to Congress and federal agencies asking them to review sugar policy and protect the domestic industry. The chair closed by stressing that agricultural policy decisions affect rural jobs, families, and local economies, and then adjourned the meeting.

Summary:
The Budget Section approved the March 18 minutes and received an OMB update showing the general fund is still ahead of the budgeted starting point, but revenues through May are now about $76 million below the legislative forecast, driven mainly by individual income tax and sales tax shortfalls. OMB also reported the budget stabilization fund is above its cap, meaning a transfer to the general fund is expected, and reviewed oil price/production assumptions, noting continued volatility. Members asked about the income tax netting process, the sales tax decline, oil price discounts/premiums, natural gas taxation, and when the executive branch would present its revenue forecast.
The committee then acted on several Emergency Commission requests. It approved, as a group, requests for federal mine reclamation funds for the Public Service Commission, an additional criminal investigator FTE and funding for the Attorney General’s office, and a DPI transfer for bridge software costs. It separately approved DPI request 2164 for $500,000 to support the food vendor program after debate over whether the program’s savings were known and whether the money was simply a pass-through. OMB also reported on federal grants, fiscal irregularities, tobacco settlement proceeds, budget guidelines for agencies, FTE pool usage, vacancy savings, and the DAPL settlement, noting the settlement funds had been deposited and that a deficiency appropriation may be needed later to cover remaining accrued interest.
Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus presented on the primary residence credit program, saying participation has grown sharply and that the current biennium will likely need about $431 million, roughly $22 million above the appropriation. He explained how the credit interacts with homestead and disabled veteran benefits, how the 3% property tax cap works, and why county valuations and mill rates vary. The committee also received a Legacy Fund/Budget Stabilization Fund report showing strong returns, and DOT Director Ron Henke received approval for two Flex Fund highway projects on ND 49 and ND 31. Henke also explained remaining Highway 85 funding and said the department is exploring uses for leftover state dollars. Finally, the Department of Mineral Resources reported on abandoned well plugging and site restoration, noting North Dakota remains in relatively strong shape compared with other states, and DPI began a presentation on gap funding tied to the 3% levy cap, reporting 24 districts received $1.8 million in the first year and projecting higher future needs.
