Summary:
The Missouri House Legislative Rules Committee met briefly in executive session and moved quickly through two measures before recessing. The chair said the committee intended to act on Senate Bill 8, Senate Bill 890, and House Bill 2762, and noted the meeting would recess in case the committee needed to return later after floor activity. After roll was called, the committee proceeded with votes.
The committee voted do pass on House Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 890 by an 8-0 vote. It then took up House Committee Substitute for House Bills 2762, 2816, and 2402, described as solar energy projects legislation carried by Representative Banderman. Representative Pollitt praised the bill as important and said Missouri needed it, while the chair thanked members for their work and said the issue deserved further attention in the interim.
That solar package received a do pass recommendation by a 7-1 vote, with one member voting present. After that action, the committee announced it had no further business and went into recess. The transcript later ends with the committee officially adjourned.

Summary:
The House received a Governor’s message on fiscal year 2026 supplemental appropriations, which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. The Committee on Rules reported several resolutions, including honors for Abby Goodman, a resolution reaffirming Massachusetts-Taiwan friendship, recognition of the Cambodian-American community’s Khmer New Year celebration, and Elks National Youth Week; the House suspended the rules and approved them. The House also concurred with Senate petitions on assisted living residences and medication administration in rest homes, sending them to the Committee on Aging and Independence.
The main legislative business was House Bill 5279/5375, the transportation bond bill financing long-term improvements to municipal roads and bridges. Ways and Means recommended a substitute bill, House 5375, with a $2.737 billion general obligation bond authorization, and the House adopted the amendment and ordered the bill to a third reading. Later, the House took up House 5375 directly, heard support from members emphasizing Chapter 90 road funding, municipal flexibility, rural road mileage distribution, and broader transportation investments, and then passed the bill to be engrossed by roll call vote, 155-0.
The House also passed House Bill 5371, authorizing grants of easements or takings of certain parcels of land to the city of Boston, to be engrossed. In addition, the chamber received and filed the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s report on the March 31, 2026 special election for the 5th Essex District, adopted an order to escort the Governor and Executive Council into the chamber, and administered the oaths of office to Representative-elect Andrew Tarr.

Summary:

Summary:
The Senate Education Committee met and first recognized visiting students and staff from Putnam City North and Edmond Public Schools. The committee then took up several House bills, beginning with HB 3312, which would require annual age-appropriate firearm safety instruction in public schools starting in the 2026–2027 school year, with CLEET and the Department of Education developing the curriculum. The bill was advanced on a 9-2 vote after the author described it as a safety measure and cited a personal tragedy involving children and a firearm.
The committee also passed HB 3700, requiring colleges and universities to adopt policies ensuring grades are based only on academic performance, and HB 2981, requiring school districts to post school board meeting minutes within two weeks of approval. HB 2961, creating the Tech Sergeant Marshall Dakota Roberts Gold Star Surviving Act to provide tuition, fees, and room and board for spouses and children of Gold Star recipients at state public universities or career tech schools, passed unanimously after discussion of a possible fiscal impact. HB 3016, establishing a two-year pilot vision screening program for about 12 schools to identify convergence insufficiency disorders linked to literacy, also passed.
Later, HB 4478 passed to raise the daily deposit threshold for school districts and sites from $100 to $500 while still requiring weekly deposits. HB 4326, a cleanup bill related to Oklahoma’s Promise deadlines, certified teacher definitions, and a contingent T-SET-related provision, passed after debate about its unfinished status and funding concerns. HB 3025 passed with a change excluding donations from general fund collections for carryover balance purposes for one year, and HB 3710 passed to make a new higher education program cohort-based, requiring students to begin eligibility as freshmen. The chair closed by noting the committee had moved quickly, and announced upcoming executive nominee meetings and another committee meeting the following week.

Summary:
The caucus reviewed a long calendar of bills spanning health care, education, tax, public safety, firearms, elections, and family law. On health and education, HB 283 would expand diabetes-related coverage for certain supplies; SB 1126 would require schools to provide records and cooperate with Department of Child Safety caseworkers; SB 1210 would require out-of-state private postsecondary institutions to register in Arizona; and SCR 1006, which would create private causes of action over restroom and pronoun policies in schools, drew strong opposition and was requested to be pulled from consent. Members also discussed HB 2308, which would bar dental insurers from owning dental practices, and SB 1049, which would cap spousal maintenance at four years and change how the marital standard of living is considered; both prompted questions and SB 1049 was pulled from consent.
Several tax measures were also reviewed. SB 1293 would limit GPLET abatements by protecting school district revenue, and members noted prior opposition. SB 1294 would clarify county assessors’ authority to prorate destroyed property for tax purposes, though members said they were still researching whether it was necessary. SB 1430, the Tax Corrections Act of 2026, would make technical tax changes and remove redundant language, but members said they wanted Department of Revenue-requested corrections restored. SB 1053 would reduce concealed weapons permit fees for Arizona residents and was pulled from consent after concerns about fee impacts and unresolved amendment language.
On public safety and firearms, SB 1058 would prohibit government records distinguishing firearm retailers and firearm owners and was pulled from consent after criticism and reference to a prior veto. SB 1093 would expand riot-related offenses to include property damage and add riot to conspiracy and racketeering provisions. SB 1160 would restrict drones near ticketed entertainment events, with supporters framing it as a public safety measure and clarifying that event-authorized drone use could still be exempt. SB 1211 would allow lifetime injunctions for felony aggravated harassment involving domestic violence.
The caucus also considered election-related bills. SB 1006 would raise the threshold for aggregated campaign contribution reporting from under $100 to under $200, and it was pulled from consent. SB 1029 would create a process for terminating a campaign committee after a candidate’s death. SB 1038 would make cast vote records public records, SB 1057 would add fraud countermeasures for paper ballots, and SB 1237 would require consultation with county recorders and legislative leaders before the Secretary of State updates the Elections Procedures Manual. Several of these election bills were noted as having been vetoed previously, and the meeting ended by moving into closed caucus.

02/23/2026 - House Rules
Transcript Highlights:
- Members, with your vote of four ayes, one nay, and three absent, you have recommended House Bill 2313
- So I think it's a good bill, and I vote aye. Chairman Hendricks? Aye.
- Chairman, my vote. Please proceed.
- So it's my view that this is absolutely constitutional. ...and I vote aye. Chairman Hendricks? Aye.
- Members, by your vote of four ayes, two nays, and two absent, you have recommended House Bill 2991.
Summary:
The committee considered a series of bills and resolutions for constitutional and proper-form review, with Tim Fleming from the Rules Attorney’s Office flagging potential issues and suggesting floor amendments in several cases. House Bill 2313, dealing with teachers’ strikes and work stoppages, was found to raise a pension-rights problem under the state constitution because it could diminish retirement benefits; the suggested fix was to remove the words “or former employment.” The committee also reviewed House Bill 2697 on opioid overdose emergencies and related immunity provisions, House Bill 2912 concerning Corporation Commission review of integrated resource plans for electric utilities, House Bill 2991 on parental consent for minors’ social media accounts, House Bill 4010 regulating genetic counselors and conscience protections, and House Bill 4115 and HCR 2051 regarding petition circulator identification requirements. In each of those measures, the rules attorney identified constitutional concerns tied to anti-abrogation, separation of powers/rate-making authority, First Amendment issues, or lawsuit-threat language, but indicated proposed amendments could resolve them.
Members asked questions and debated the constitutional analysis, especially on HB 2912 and HB 2991. On HB 2912, one member argued the bill concerned policy and modeling rather than rate-setting, while others noted the complexity of the commission’s authority. On HB 2991, the sponsor said the measure had been under negotiation for months and was intended to avoid constitutional conflict, though the rules attorney said the First Amendment case law was not yet well developed. For HB 4010, the committee focused on a provision that could prohibit threatening a lawsuit against a genetic counselor, which the attorney said should be removed. For HB 4115 and HCR 2051, the attorney cited Buckley v. American Constitutional Law Foundation as a reason to delete the petition-circulator name-disclosure requirement.
The committee voted to recommend each of the individually discussed measures as constitutional and in proper form, generally by 4-2 votes with two absent, including HB 2313, HB 2697, HB 2912, HB 2991, HB 4010, and HB 4115/HCR 2051. At the end of the meeting, the committee approved a large mass motion covering many additional bills and resolutions, and that package was recommended by a 6-0 vote with two absent. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The committee first approved the February 4 and February 10 minutes. It then introduced RS 33209, a transportation cleanup measure that would update the highway distribution account statute to reflect current practice and adjust funding for local bridge inspections from a fixed $175 amount to $300,000 for fiscal year 2027. The motion to introduce passed without opposition.
Next, the committee introduced RS 33409, which would impose a $75 one-time late fee for failing to timely register a vehicle in Idaho. Sponsors said the bill is intended to encourage timely registration and align with the state’s existing late fee for driver’s licenses. Members asked whether back registration fees could still be collected; the sponsor said the $75 fee would apply only once, though back time could still be collected. The motion to introduce passed.
The committee then heard House Bill 532, which would create uniform identity-verification standards across driver’s licenses, vehicle registration, and titling so DMV records use the same information and create a one-person, one-record system. The bill was sent to the floor with a do-pass recommendation without opposition. Finally, House Bill 629 was heard, allowing vehicle registration to be provided in either electronic or printed form instead of requiring a mailed copy. Law enforcement testified to safety and verification concerns about relying on phones during traffic stops, while the sponsor argued the change would save mailing costs and mirror existing digital practices for insurance and hunting/fishing licenses. Despite several members expressing reservations, the committee voted to send HB 629 to the floor with a do-pass recommendation, with one member recorded as opposed.

Committee:
Senate Education
Summary:
The Senate Education Committee heard House Bill 515, which would require schools to have a procedure for notifying families when a serious bullying incident occurs, defined as one resulting in suspension. Representative Chris Matthias said the bill also removes an annual bullying-reporting requirement to reduce administrative burden, and he noted earlier versions included suicide-prevention and law-enforcement notification language that was removed after concerns. With no testimony in opposition, the committee voted to send HB 515 to the Senate floor with a due pass recommendation; Senator Blaylock was named as the floor carrier.
The committee then heard Senate Bill 1244, a code-cleanup measure repealing eight obsolete statutes related to regional library systems that have not existed for decades. Senator Carrie Semmelroth explained the bill came from the post-HB 14 cleanup process and contained no policy changes. The committee had no questions or opposition testimony and voted to send SB 1244 to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
Finally, the committee took up RS 3318 for print, a proposal from Senator Kevin Cook to reduce the school choice tax credit by 4% in fiscal year 2026 and 5% in fiscal year 2027 as part of broader budget holdbacks. Supporters framed it as a revenue measure and part of spreading reductions across education, while opponents argued the program is new, still in its application window, and should not be cut before implementation is fully underway. After discussion about K-12 budget reductions, the committee approved the RS on a 6-3 roll call vote and sent it to print. The meeting then adjourned, and members were reminded there would be no committee meeting the next day.
