Committee:
House Agricultural Affairs
Summary:
The House Ag Affairs Committee approved the minutes from its March 16, 2026 meeting and then took up House Bill 879, which Representative John Scheris described as a pared-down version of an earlier industrial hemp bill. He said the measure would bring retail hemp product establishments under the Idaho Department of Agriculture’s oversight to address loopholes involving the sale of THC products such as Delta-8 and Delta-9, while avoiding overregulation of hemp seed, powder, and other legitimate products. Braden Jensen of the Idaho Farm Bureau supported the bill, saying it reflected stakeholder work and would help ensure retail products comply with state law. Representative McCann moved to send HB 879 to the floor with a do-pass recommendation and to place it on second reading, and the committee agreed.
The committee then received an update from Laura Wilder of the Idaho Barley Commission. She reviewed the commission’s funding, goals, and programs, and reported that Idaho remained the nation’s leading barley producer, growing 39% of the U.S. crop in 2025 on about 490,000 harvested acres. She highlighted research, market development, and education efforts, including work that has improved yields over time, reduced unnecessary input costs, and supported domestic and foreign market development. Wilder also noted current market softness, including expected declines in malt barley acres and flat prices, but said long-term demand remains promising because of brewing, feed, and food applications.
Maya Landa of the Idaho Grain Producers Association followed with a broader overview of the grain economy. She said growers are facing low commodity prices, rising input costs, weather and water risks, trade uncertainty, and policy changes, while noting that wheat and barley remain major Idaho crops and that exports are critical to profitability. She discussed the importance of federal programs, the Farm Bill, the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, water infrastructure, workforce issues, and commodity commissions. Committee members asked about dam breaching concerns affecting the Columbia-Snake river system and about the stalled Farm Workforce Modernization Act; Landa emphasized the need for continued engagement on those issues. The meeting ended with no further business and adjournment.

- We took all steps that we feasibly could, and I'm happy to share a memo that we sent to JFAC members
Summary:
The committee met briefly to discuss how to use available funding and to clarify priorities after a recent JFAC action removed funding from one program. Senator Kevin Cook was invited to outline several behavioral health and Medicaid-related options, emphasizing that he was not lobbying but providing cost and program information. The main programs discussed were assertive community treatment (ACT), adult peer support services, and Healthy Connections. Cook described ACT as an evidence-based team service for people with severe mental illness, peer support as a trained recovery-based support model, and Healthy Connections as a statutory program that had ended due to legislation rather than a department decision.
Department of Health and Welfare Medicaid administrator Sasha O’Connell explained that ACT had been cut under the governor’s holdback direction and that the department had already pursued rate reductions and other cuts to meet budget targets. She said ACT and peer supports were not protected in statute, while some other services were, and that the department had limited options once it reached the point of service reductions. She also clarified federal match rates for ACT participants and said the program had been moved into the Magellan contract to leverage federal funding. Estimated costs to restore the programs were discussed, including about $1.3 million for ACT in fiscal year 2026 and $4.1 million in fiscal year 2027, $2 million and $6 million for peer support, and $1.5 million and $6.3 million for Healthy Connections.
Several members expressed support for restoring ACT, citing its impact on law enforcement, hospitals, and vulnerable individuals, and noting reported deaths among former participants after the service ended. Others questioned how the program fit within the committee’s mission and whether it should be funded from the Millennium Fund or through a statutory change. No final vote was taken; the chair said the committee would consider the information, possibly meet again, and then decide on next steps.

Committee:
House Agricultural Affairs
Summary:
The committee approved the minutes from January 26, 2026, and announced a brief follow-up meeting on Friday morning at 8:30 a.m. with one agenda item and a public hearing. The main presentation was from the Idaho Potato Commission, with Jamie Hyer and chairman Darren Bitter introducing the commission and reviewing its finances, promotion efforts, research spending, and export activities. Hyer said the commission is financially sound, described its budget categories, and noted strong revenue from the new Idaho potato license plate, which he said has already generated about $2 million for the highway fund.
Members asked about research partnerships with the University of Idaho, the potato seed building, and the value of public-domain breeding versus private control. Hyer explained that new potato varieties can take 10 to 12 years to develop and that public research helps keep seed access broad while still supporting royalties to fund future work. He also discussed market pressures, including rising competition from China and India, labor and input costs, weather, disease, farm succession, and the effects of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and changing dietary trends on potato consumption.
A substantial portion of the discussion focused on trade and exports. Hyer said Mexico and Canada are the commission’s primary export markets, with Japan seen as the best potential new market, while Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, and some Southeast Asian markets remain important but challenging. He said tariffs have had limited direct effect on potatoes because of USMCA, though they affect inputs and some other markets. Members also asked about quality control and mislabeling in stores; Hyer said the commission has staff across the country monitoring retail and food service quality and that many problems stem from poor store handling rather than intentional shipping of bad product. The meeting ended after a promotional video and closing remarks, with no votes other than approval of the minutes.

Summary:
The Legislative Ethics Board met to reorganize its agenda, elect officers, approve prior minutes, review employment disclosure forms, consider rule amendments, and discuss a draft annual report. Larry Hoff was nominated and approved as chair, and Lori was nominated and approved as vice chair. The board then approved the December 8 minutes and found no ethics issues with two employment disclosure forms involving Senate and House security employees who are married to each other.
Jennifer presented proposed rule changes, described as mostly technical updates, including clarifying that either party may request a continuance for good cause, replacing references to a “complaint” with a “reasonable cause determination,” allowing the board to use an ALJ to hear matters and prepare an initial order, and clarifying discovery authority. The board moved, seconded, and unanimously approved the rule amendments. Members also reviewed a draft annual report and discussed updating biographies and other details.
A substantial portion of the meeting focused on a draft advisory opinion about attorney-legislators representing clients in matters against state agencies. Jennifer explained that the draft concluded such representation is not automatically an ethics violation, but cautioned about special privileges, appearances of impropriety, and the need to keep legislative and private legal roles separate. Members debated whether the opinion should be broadened to emphasize that all legislators, regardless of outside employment, must avoid using their office for private advantage. Several members argued the issue is highly fact-specific and that a broad opinion could create unnecessary complexity or special treatment for lawyers. By the end of the discussion, the board appeared to decide not to issue the proposed opinion. The chair also noted a prior advisory opinion on citizen members of the board and reminded members of restrictions on lobbying and related activities. No public testimony was offered, and the board moved toward executive session.

Summary:
The Medicaid Oversight and Advisory Board met on November 12, 2025, approved the October 22 minutes, and heard an update from Cabinet for Health and Family Services Secretary Steven Stack and Public Health Commissioner John Langfeld on Kentucky’s application for the federal rural health transformation grant. The presenters described the grant as a $50 billion, five-year program with annual CMS scoring and rescorings, no state appeal rights, and a December 31 deadline for CMS to announce awards. They said Kentucky submitted its application on November 3 and had gathered stakeholder comments earlier in the process.
The testimony emphasized that the grant is intended to support new models of rural care rather than replace existing funding or pay for clinical services or lost hospital revenue. Officials said the state had to address at least three of five federal strategic goals, including prevention and chronic disease, sustainable access, workforce development, and care/technology innovation. They also reviewed restrictions such as no new building construction, no payment for monthly broadband costs, and a cap of 5% for electronic medical record-related spending.
The presenters said CMS has been clear that funding should focus on innovation in care delivery, rural access, and related policy goals, and that the state’s award could vary year to year based on performance milestones. The meeting was interrupted by a building fire alarm and evacuation announcement before the presentation was completed.

Summary:
The Human Services Subcommittee met to receive an update from the new director of the Agency for Persons with Disabilities on implementation of House Bill 1103. The director said APD is working to update the funding algorithm through a contracted study due November 15, 2025, expand transparency on its website, launch an online crisis application by the end of 2025, improve client choice in qualified organizations and waiver support coordinators, and coordinate with AHCA on the managed care pilot and Florida HealthFinder listings for APD providers. He also said APD is working on family resource materials, a monthly newsletter, and stronger transition planning with DCF.
Members asked about whether the new algorithm would include transportation and what services might change, but the director said the replacement model is still being developed and any new methodology would be implemented through rulemaking. Questions also focused on Family Care Councils, including the statewide council’s membership and appointment process; the director said the statute sets the process and APD is helping councils recruit and organize. On transparency, members praised the website improvements and asked for more interactive data tools. The director said APD would consider suggestions and continue expanding public reporting.
The committee also discussed eligibility and waiver notices, including concerns about outdated language in APD letters and how autism cases are reviewed. The director said clinicians and behavioral analysts review cases and asked to see the specific letter. On the pre-enrollment list, the chair asked about the wait list, and the director said APD recently sent 5,612 service offers to people on the list and is working to better distinguish those who truly need services from those who do not. No votes were taken, and the meeting adjourned after the presentation and questions.

Summary:
The Citizen Commission for Performance Measurement of Tax Preferences met on May 7, 2025, with quorum present. The commission approved the October 22, 2024 meeting minutes and then received its annual open government refresher from the Attorney General’s office, which reviewed key requirements under the Public Records Act and Open Public Meetings Act, including record retention, response deadlines, exemptions, and meeting notice rules.
Staff then provided a 2025 legislative session update, noting that the legislature passed 23 tax-preference-related bills, with several signed by the governor and others pending. Highlights included bills that extended or repealed certain preferences, added reporting requirements for newspaper and digital content exemptions, authorized JLARC to adjust its work plan when data is unavailable, and created a new exemption for zero-emission buses. The commission approved updates to the 2026 tax preference review schedule, which includes eight preferences in seven reviews, and approved unchanged testimony questions for 2025.
The commission also received the 2025 expedited preference review report covering 52 tax preferences, presented as an interactive table drawing on prior JLARC reviews and Department of Revenue studies. Staff then outlined the process for developing the next 10-year review schedule for 2027-2036, including surveying the legislature, incorporating new and repealed preferences, and considering a possible rolling 10-year schedule. No public comment was registered. The meeting ended with acknowledgments of Ron Buing’s long service on the commission and an announcement that the next meeting would be held August 6, 2025.
