Summary:
The House and Senate met in joint convention for the Governor’s annual State of the Commonwealth address. Before the address, the chamber handled routine organizational motions, including recesses, the appointment of committees to escort the Lieutenant Governor, constitutional officers, and the Governor into the chamber, the posting of colors, the Pledge of Allegiance, the national anthem, and an invocation and benediction. The joint convention then heard Governor Maura Healey’s address, followed by remarks from legislative leaders and a closing benediction.
In her speech, Governor Healey said the state is strong and highlighted accomplishments from the past session, including tax cuts, expanded child care support, the Affordable Homes Act, transportation improvements, federal funding gains, veterans’ services, and health care measures. She also emphasized ongoing priorities such as reducing housing costs, improving transit and infrastructure, expanding primary care and mental health services, supporting education and career pathways, strengthening clean energy and AI investment, and protecting reproductive health care. She called for abolishing tenant broker’s fees, creating a statewide graduation standards council after the MCAS requirement change, and continuing efforts to address the emergency shelter system and other cost pressures.
No roll call votes were taken on legislation during the address itself, but the convention adopted the various ceremonial orders and motions by voice vote. After the Governor’s remarks and the benediction, the joint convention adjourned, and the House later adjourned to meet the following Tuesday in informal session.

- This week was initiated by the Alliance for Period Supplies.
Summary:
The Senate opened with routine business, approved the prior journal, and received several motions to discharge identical Assembly bills from committee and substitute corresponding Senate bills. Members also offered brief recognitions for visitors, including Yemeni American community advocates and Cheri Davis, who was honored for her Alzheimer’s advocacy and support work. The chamber then took up several previously adopted resolutions, including Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, Period Poverty Awareness Week, and Nurses Week, with senators speaking in support of each measure’s purpose and importance.
The body then moved through a long calendar of bills, passing a wide range of measures on education, public health, correction law, environmental conservation, municipal law, agriculture, and consumer protection. Notable floor discussion included Senator Ramos explaining her support for a bill requiring salons and similar businesses to display multilingual domestic violence resource information, and Senator Gianaris and Senator Borrello debating a bill to prohibit electronic shelf labeling in stores over concerns about surveillance, dynamic pricing, and impacts on brick-and-mortar retailers. Senator May and Senator Skoufis also spoke on an environmental conservation bill concerning American eel management, with May supporting the species protections and Skoufis objecting to the bill’s structure.
Most bills were adopted by wide margins, though several drew recorded negative votes. The Senate passed the domestic violence information bill, the electronic shelf-labeling bill, and multiple other measures, including bills on eviction notice procedures, surrogate court procedure, and environmental conservation. After completing the calendar, the Senate reported no further business and adjourned until the next day at 11:00 a.m.

Summary:
The House convened, opened with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, approved the journal, and recognized the Doctor of the Day, Dr. May Modi. A series of personal privilege introductions followed, including the Chief of Security, members of the Junior League of Phoenix, several Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year candidates, and a student guest. Members also read a proclamation honoring the Junior League of Phoenix for civic engagement and volunteer service.
The chamber then handled several procedural matters, including a motion to not concur in Senate amendments to HB 2010 and appoint a conference committee. The House moved through multiple Committee of the Whole calendars and adopted recommendations on a number of Senate bills. On the first calendar, SB 1009, SB 1046, SB 1143, SB 1221 as amended, and SB 1613 were advanced, with SB 1221 receiving an Olson floor amendment. On the second calendar, SB 1013, SB 1338, SB 1540 as amended, and later SB 1121 as amended, SB 1318, SB 1549, and SB 1786 as amended were all reported do pass, while SB 1270, SB 1400, and SB 1582 were retained on the calendar.
Several bills drew debate. SB 1013 prompted discussion over merit-based hiring and whether the bill’s exclusions of sexual orientation and gender identity were appropriate. SB 1540 drew criticism as special legislation favoring the fuel industry, while supporters said it was a fairer approach to theft penalties. SB 1121 was described as a bipartisan health-care worker safety measure addressing radiation exposure, though opponents called it a vendor-driven mandate. SB 1318 was presented as a cleanup bill to align breast cancer notification language with federal standards, and SB 1786 received a technical amendment. The House also passed SB 1113, SB 1193, SB 1448, and SB 1503 on third reading, with SB 1503 receiving the required three-quarters vote and emergency clause. The House appointed a conference committee on HB 2003, and adjourned until 10 a.m. on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.

All ALC-REVIEW
Summary:
The ALC-Review Subcommittee reviewed seven methods of finance, including university projects at ASU Jonesboro and Mountain Home, Black River Technical College deferred maintenance, UA Batesville’s Farm Project Gateway Center, UAMS PET cyclotron equipment, a new allied health building at UAPB funded by a federal grant, and UCA’s multi-purpose arena design work. The committee also approved an alternative delivery construction project for UAPB’s Allied Health and Sciences Building, with East Harding Construction selected and AMR Architects as designer.
Members then approved discretionary grants from the Department of Health and DHS, including support for a heart attack center designation, community health worker training, homeless services funding corrections, behavioral health transition support, and an enabling technology pilot. In the contracts section, the committee reviewed RFQs, construction-related contracts, intergovernmental contracts, and a large slate of out-of-state and in-state contracts covering topics such as seatbelt survey data collection, Medicaid and DHS systems, state hospital staffing and services, veterans’ services, education assessments, and state IT and procurement projects.
Several contracts drew extended questioning. Senators and representatives pressed DHS and the Department of Veterans Affairs about heavy reliance on contract nursing and staffing costs, and officials said they were using pay incentives and recruitment efforts to increase state employee staffing. Members also questioned AEDC’s lithium supply chain study and the Department of Education’s security contract, with concerns about projected costs and repeated amendments. The committee held three in-state contracts—Department of Education security services and two DHS staffing contracts—until Friday, then adopted the remaining contracts and received informational reports on contract amendments, executed contracts, and emergency procurements before adjourning.

Summary:
The House opened with prayer, the pledge, attendance, and a series of guest introductions and recognitions, including the Dr. of the Day, Korean community guests, students, local officials, and a proclamation honoring the future USS Arizona SSN-803 and the USS Arizona Legacy Foundation. The chamber also announced committee assignments and took up several procedural motions, including reconsideration motions on HB 4027 and HB 2444, both of which were granted and returned to third reading. The House then moved into Committee of the Whole to consider measures on Calendar Numbers One and Two.
In Committee of the Whole, HB 4034, dealing with CTE-related issues, was amended and reported do pass after debate over concerns from Tempe Union High School District and EVIT, with supporters saying the bill clarified statute and reduced future disputes. HB 2444 was amended and reported do pass. HB 2992, a pilot program related to sexual abuse prevention, drew opposition over concerns about opt-out instruction, pilot status, and classroom burdens, but it passed Committee of the Whole on a 31-21 division vote after amendments. HB 4027, involving highway naming, was amended and reported do pass despite objections that the amendment still appeared to elevate Charlie Kirk over the existing Ed Pastor designation.
On third reading, HB 293 passed 31-22 and HB 2502 passed 37-16. HB 2229, relating to maternal services and funding for pregnancy resource centers, generated extensive debate over abortion-related implications and was defeated 26-27, though a motion to reconsider later succeeded 27-21. HB 2533 failed on reconsideration, while HB 2750 passed 44-9 and HB 2999, a special taxing districts bill tied to housing affordability, passed 32-21 after supporters argued it would lower financing costs and help build more affordable homes. H.C.M. 2009, urging federal action to streamline access to minerals on federal land withdrawals, passed 31-22. The House adjourned until the next day after additional announcements and personal privilege remarks, including a proclamation for Sleep Apnea Awareness Month and a call for more efficient floor action.

Summary:
The committee heard reports from the Senate and House Health and Welfare chairs on budget pressures, especially Medicaid and related programs. Senator Julie Van Orden said her committee supported closer legislative scrutiny of Health and Welfare spending, opposed moving 988 crisis services into the behavioral health managed care contract at this time, and favored more targeted reductions rather than broad across-the-board cuts. Representative John Van der Woude said the House committee was advancing a bill to hold back about $21 million in residential habilitation funding, paired with audits and oversight to ensure proper use of the money. He also raised concerns about rural health funding, provider rate reductions, and the need to consider restoring rates if revenues improve.
Members questioned the chairs about whether changes to 988 or Medicaid expansion would be policy decisions, and about possible intent language, work requirements, and asset tests for Medicaid expansion. Van der Woude said he was drafting a bill to let Medicaid expansion expire and restart with work requirements, an enrollment cap, and possible asset-based verification, and said he hoped to bring it this session. Several members debated the balance between cost-cutting and maintaining services, including dental coverage and developmental disability services, with some warning that cuts could harm vulnerable people and others emphasizing personal responsibility and fiscal restraint.
The committee then heard from House Agriculture Committee Chair Gerald Raymond, who reviewed the agriculture budget and emphasized the importance of dedicated funds, invasive species prevention, and water infrastructure funding. He described ongoing spending for quagga mussel prevention, Mormon cricket and Japanese beetle control, and cereal crop fungus response, and urged continued support for boat inspection check stations because prevention is cheaper than treatment. He also said the University of Idaho CAFÉ project was nearing completion and noted that his committee had not yet discussed the recent 2% cuts affecting check stations. No formal votes were taken during the hearing, and the chair announced the committee would move into daily budget-setting workgroups, with the next meeting scheduled for 7:15 a.m. the following day.

Committee:
Senate State Affairs
Summary:
The Senate State Affairs Committee approved the February 18, 2026 minutes and advanced gubernatorial appointee Callie Younger as administrator of the Office of Energy and Mineral Resources with a recommendation for Senate confirmation. The committee then introduced several RS measures, including a resolution supporting use of Article V to pursue a balanced-budget amendment, a memorial backing gold-backed U.S. bonds, and a bill authorizing the state treasurer to invest idle funds in gold and silver bullion. It also introduced RSs related to school district strategic performance plans, a new school funding formula study, college athletics, traffic use of the passing lane, and campaign finance reform.
The committee heard and advanced several bills on state administration and elections. SB 1320, a cleanup bill repealing language tied to the business information infrastructure fund and Luma implementation, and SB 1321, which clarifies reporting deadlines and enforcement for agency contracts and MOUs filed with the state controller, both received due-pass recommendations. SB 1322, which tightens the voter affidavit process by requiring additional identifying information and poll-worker verification before issuing a ballot, also advanced after discussion about election integrity, privacy, and practical implementation. The committee likewise advanced SB 1296, which creates a specific criminal trespass offense for entering or remaining in a church or house of worship with intent to intimidate, harass, or disrupt worship services.
The committee also advanced HCR 28, calling on Idahoans to fast and pray on March 1 for unity, peace, and moisture/snowpack, after testimony in support from the Idaho Family Policy Center and a private citizen. Finally, the committee heard HB 539, which limits temporary administrative rules to emergency or other narrow circumstances, requires a gubernatorial statement explaining necessity, and restricts repeated substantially similar temporary rules; after testimony from the Idaho Farm Bureau in support, the bill was sent to the floor with a due-pass recommendation. The meeting adjourned after all listed items were handled.

- very important, it's also very important that we be proactive in our policymaking to ensure water supply
Committee:
House State Affairs
Summary:
The committee first approved a motion to hold RS 3355 at the sponsor’s request. It then heard and advanced House Bill 598, which would require candidates to maintain separate campaign bank accounts and certify to the Secretary of State when they loan money to their own campaigns and deposit it. Representative McCann said the bill was intended to improve transparency; the Secretary of State’s office remained neutral. The committee voted to send HB 598 to the floor with a do-pass recommendation.
Members next introduced RS 33374, a proposal by Representative Raibold to clarify legislative residency requirements by requiring physical presence in a district for at least 120 days before the filing period. The sponsor said the measure was meant to better define intent and address challenges over where a candidate actually resides. After questions about how residency would be proven and challenged, the committee voted to introduce the RS. The committee also introduced RS 33105, which would align telephone service discontinuance procedures with federal FCC processes, and RS 33106, which would broaden the definition of broadband to include satellite and wireless service.
The committee then considered RS 33270 and RS 33295 from Representative Scott. RS 33270 would prohibit logos, slogans, and similar branding in the executive budget document, except for the state seal and governor’s official logo. RS 33295 would bar state funds from being used for memberships, dues, and fees for many organizations by executive, legislative, and judicial branch entities, with exemptions for items authorized by law, professional licensing, required certifications, state employment needs, and law-enforcement information sharing. Several members raised concerns about the breadth of the proposal, possible impacts on necessary professional and interstate organizations, and the lack of an enforcement mechanism. RS 33270 was introduced, but RS 33295 was returned to the sponsor for lack of a motion.
The committee also introduced RS 33302, a resolution encouraging Idahoans to observe March 1, 2026, as a day of fasting and prayer for moisture, wisdom, and unity. Members discussed its religious and historical basis and expressed support. Finally, the committee advanced House Bill 501, which requires paid signature gatherers on certain petitions to wear badges identifying who is paying them, if anyone. The sponsor said the bill was intended to increase transparency, and the committee voted to send it to the floor with a do-pass recommendation.
