Summary:
The House Appropriations Committee met to hear several bills, with members repeatedly reminded to focus on fiscal impacts rather than policy merits. The committee first considered SB 9 on freshwater wetlands, which would combine tidal and non-tidal wetlands programs into one permitting framework; supporters said the bill resulted from a two-year consensus process and that the governor’s office and DENREC would absorb a significant share of the cost. Public testimony was largely supportive, emphasizing flood control and ecosystem services, though one speaker opposed the spending. The committee voted to release SB 9.
The committee then heard SB 278 on child care assistance, which would preauthorize summer camp for eligible school-age children and create a separate lower co-payment for half-day care. The sponsor and the YMCA of Delaware said the change would better align family co-pays with provider reimbursement and make before- and after-school care more affordable for working families. The committee also released SB 278, SB 168 on alcohol delivery for package stores, SB 120 on health insurance coverage for certain testing and treatment, and HB 4, a pilot program for artificial intelligence and extended reality in schools; HB 4 was described as having a near-$3 million fiscal note and a one-year implementation delay because it was not funded in the budget.
Later, the committee approved SB 219, which gradually increases the military pension income tax exclusion from $12,500 to $25,000 over three years and includes related joint-filing and residency changes. Supporters argued it would help attract and retain military retirees and bring federal dollars into the state. The committee also released SB 1, a major primary care reform bill that would increase primary care spending and implement hospital payment reforms, with projected long-term savings to the state employee health plan, and SB 325, which expands background checks and wrap-back monitoring for fire service personnel and adds an investigator position for the Fire Prevention Commission. In each case, public commenters and committee members generally supported the bills, and all were released from committee by recorded vote.

- So by a vote of 39 yeas and 21 nays, the joint legislative session has failed to override the governor's
- And so, by a vote of 43 yeas and 17 nays, the joint legislative session has overridden the governor's
Summary:
The Alaska Legislature met in joint session with a quorum to consider veto overrides on five bills: HB 52 on minors in psychiatric hospitals, SB 41 on mental health education, HB 314 on architects, engineers, surveyors, and interior designers, SB 21 on the Alaska Work and Save Program, and HB 195 on pharmacists and physician associates. Supporters of HB 52 argued it would improve transparency, family communication, oversight, and reporting in psychiatric treatment for minors; opponents were not recorded in the excerpt. The joint session voted 36-24 to sustain the governor’s veto, so HB 52 did not become law through override.
For SB 41, supporters said the bill would create developmentally appropriate mental health education guidance for schools and help address Alaska’s high suicide rate, while the governor argued it would intrude on local control. The override failed 38-22. For HB 314, members said the bill was needed to extend the AELS Board and avoid disruption to professional licensing and oversight; the override passed 45-15, so the veto was overridden. For SB 21, supporters said the Work and Save Program would expand retirement savings access for workers and small businesses, including an option to direct PFD funds to retirement; the override failed 39-21.
For HB 195, supporters said it would expand access to care by allowing pharmacists to provide more services under a standard-of-care model, especially benefiting rural residents and families seeking lower-cost treatment, while opponents raised concerns about abortion-related implications and scope. The joint session voted 43-17 to override the veto, so HB 195 was enacted over the governor’s objection. The session then adjourned.

Summary:
The Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee met as a subcommittee, then later established a quorum and heard several tax-related bills. Chair Gibson reviewed committee procedures, including the suspense file for bills with revenue impacts over $150,000. SB 881 by Sen. McNerney would extend the farmer-to-food-bank tax credit through 2032 and the emergency food for families voluntary tax contribution through 2033; supporters from food banks, agricultural groups, local governments, and climate organizations said it would reduce food waste and help address food insecurity, with no opposition on the record. The bill was moved to suspense. SB 1406 by Sen. McNerney would target the so-called Montana tax loophole used to avoid California vehicle taxes and fees; supporters said it would recover up to $20 million annually and improve enforcement, while an opposition group warned the shell-company language could affect legitimate small businesses and passive owners. That bill was also sent to suspense.
SB 1349 by Sen. Gonzalez would direct the Legislative Analyst’s Office to review major state tax expenditures and evaluate whether they are meeting their intended goals. Supporters, including the California Teachers Association, tax reform advocates, school employees, and local governments, argued that California’s roughly $94 billion in annual tax expenditures need more accountability, especially given the state’s budget pressures. The committee approved SB 1349 on a due-pass-as-amended motion to the Assembly Appropriations Committee. The committee also approved two consent items, SB 1436 and SB 1437, on a due-pass motion.
Later, SB 1249 by Sen. Richardson proposed a $3,000 tax deduction for seniors ages 86 to 90 through 2032, with supporters from LeadingAge California saying it would help older adults cope with rising costs; the bill was referred to suspense. SB 1151 by Sen. Cervantes would codify infant formula as a food product for sales tax exemption purposes; the author and supporters said it would protect families from uncertainty and preserve tax relief for an essential product. Members discussed the high cost of formula, and the bill passed on a due-pass-as-amended motion to Appropriations. The committee then completed its business and adjourned.

Senate Banking and Financial Institutions Committee Apr 15th, 2026
Transcript Highlights:
- Just want to urge the committee to support this legislation and appreciate the work that your consultant
- We continue to want to work with you on this legislation.
- Prior to that legislation, we didn't have a licensing program.
- I would view this bill as being clean-up legislation to that.
- So there is prior legislation that provides hardship... ...gone away.
Summary:
The Senate Committee on Banking and Financial Institutions heard two bills. SB 1131, presented by Senator Jones’s staff, would update the Debt Collection Licensing Act by requiring DFPI to conduct examinations remotely unless an on-site review is needed for consumer protection, and allowing the department to rely on recent audits or examinations by other regulators or approved third parties to avoid duplicative work. Supporters from the California Association of Collectors and Receivables Management Association International said the bill would reduce examination costs and improve administrative efficiency while preserving consumer protections. A representative of the California Low-Income Consumer Coalition expressed concerns. Committee members noted the need to avoid unintended consequences for the consumer protection goals of the licensing program. The bill was moved on a due pass and re-refer motion to Appropriations and later received enough votes on call to pass out of committee.
The committee also heard SB 1291, the “Shine Act,” by Senator Gonzalez, which would increase transparency and accountability for mutual water company boards by eliminating the 24-hour written notice requirement for board meetings, requiring websites with basic information and consumer confidence reports, and directing a comparative analysis of mutual water companies serving disadvantaged communities. Supporters, including community and public health advocates, described problems with water quality, inaccessible meetings, poor notice practices, and lack of information in communities such as Cudahy and Maywood. The California Association of Mutual Water Companies opposed the bill unless amended, arguing it imposes costly, one-size-fits-all requirements on small systems without dedicated funding and could be difficult for remote or low-capacity mutuals to meet. Committee members generally supported the transparency goals but raised concerns about scale and compliance burdens; the author said he would continue working with opponents. SB 1291 was moved on a due pass and re-refer motion to Environmental Quality and later passed out of committee on call.

Committee:
House Business
Summary:
The House Business Committee met with a quorum, approved the February 25 minutes, and removed House Bill 881 from the agenda, leaving House Bill 706 as the only item for consideration. The bill, presented by Senator Ali Robbie, would allow local governments to permit single-stair apartment buildings up to six stories with a range of safety requirements, including NFPA 13 sprinklers, fire-rated stair enclosures, smoke detection, egress features, and limits on building size and unit count. Robbie argued the measure could reduce construction costs, help smaller infill projects pencil, and expand housing supply, while noting that pressurization was not included because of added cost and lack of consensus.
Public testimony was split. The Professional Firefighters of Idaho and Boise Fire Marshal Mike Bazanio, speaking for the Idaho Fire Chiefs Association, opposed the bill, arguing that a second stairway is a critical life-safety feature and that a single stair creates a single point of failure for occupants and firefighters. They said they were not persuaded by the cited research and emphasized concerns about smoke, evacuation, and firefighter access. Supporters, including a Boise resident, a housing advocate, and an architect, said modern single-stair buildings with strong sprinkler and fire-safety standards have a good safety record, would improve affordability, and would give cities more flexibility to build smaller, more efficient housing types.
In closing, Robbie said the bill had been negotiated with fire officials, building code officials, and architects, and that the main unresolved issue was stair pressurization. After debate, Representative Razor moved HB 706 to the floor with a due pass recommendation. Representative Crane opposed the bill, while Representative Harris said he would support it because local control would limit adoption to cities able to handle the buildings. The committee approved the motion on a 14-4 roll call vote, and HB 706 was sent to the floor with a due pass recommendation.

- House Bill 934 is a piece of legislation I wish I didn't have to actually do.
- Representative Raymond asked if he could refer to other legislation.
- Unanimous consent was requested to refer to pending legislation, and there was no objection.
- Representative Monks said that legislative drafters often cut and paste language when asked to provide
- So we're here today to oppose that provision in this legislation.
Summary:
The House Revenue and Taxation Committee met on March 20, 2026, to hear House Bill 934, the Idaho Parenthood Choice Tax Credit, presented by Representative Jason Monks. Monks said the bill was intended as a clarification of last year’s school choice tax credit law, not an expansion, and walked through several changes: clarifying that eligibility applies if a child is age 5 through 18 at any time during the tax year, defining tutoring as academic instruction, allowing qualified homeschool materials to be purchased from more than one vendor, confirming the one-time nature of the advanced payment, clarifying use of the state refund account, and specifying that participation in non-academic activities does not itself count as enrollment. He also said the bill was meant to address issues the Tax Commission had raised in administering the program.
Representative Raymond questioned why the language on page three, especially the section dealing with students in non-academic activities and IDLA, was included in a technical corrections bill rather than handled separately, noting overlap with House Bill 780. Senator Lori Den Hartog responded that the language was meant to ensure the state was not paying twice for the same student, particularly where IDLA enrollment is involved, and said the provision reflected what sponsors and the governor’s office understood to be the original intent. Quinn Perry of the Idaho School Boards Association opposed the page three language, arguing it was not merely technical and would allow students to receive the tax credit while also participating in public school extracurriculars, which she said would burden school districts and amount to double dipping.
In closing, Monks defended the language as necessary to prevent students from being wrongly excluded from the credit because of participation in non-academic activities, saying families already pay to participate in many extracurriculars and that the credit still saves the state money overall. Representative Ehlers spoke in favor of the bill as a narrow clarification, while Representative Birch objected that the bill did not reduce the program’s funding in line with cuts elsewhere. The committee then voted to send House Bill 934 to the floor with a do pass recommendation; the motion passed by voice vote, with several members recorded as voting no.

Committee:
House Financial Institutions
Summary:
The committee first met in executive session and approved House Bill 2863 by a 14-0 vote. It then took up House Bill 2967, adopted a committee amendment that removed a fixed one-third allocation and allowed funds to be allocated by the body as needed, rolled the amendment into a substitute, and passed the House Committee Substitute for House Bill 2967 by a 15-0 vote. Members discussed how the bill related to another expungement-fund measure already passed by the House, and were told the two bills were intended to mirror each other and would not conflict.
The committee then held a public hearing on House Bill 2303 and the mirrored House Bill 2867, both aimed at expanding Missouri’s personal finance education requirements. Sponsor testimony said the bills would require a half-credit in personal finance for graduation beginning in 2027-28, broaden instruction to include budgeting, credit, investing, fraud prevention, taxes, contracts, and major purchases, and create a DESE work group with industry and educator input to update standards every seven years. Sponsors and supporters said the goal was to better prepare students for real-world financial decisions, reduce debt traps, and improve workforce readiness.
Witnesses from the Missouri Bankers Association, mortgage bankers, consumer credit groups, financial advisors, and individual advocates testified in support, emphasizing the need for updated, practical financial literacy instruction and regular curriculum review as financial products change. Committee members asked about the bill’s interaction with existing personal finance requirements, whether it would apply to public, private, homeschool, and GED pathways, and how early course completion waivers would work. Members also suggested adding insurance and gambling/probability topics to the curriculum discussion. No opposition testimony was offered, and House Bill 2119 was postponed to a future hearing before adjournment.

- Representative Pickett, I appreciate the legislation.
- Well, thank you, and thank you for bringing this legislation.
Summary:
The Senate Local Government and Taxation Committee heard and advanced three House bills. House Bill 620 would give county commissioners special expertise status and a stronger coordinating role in federal land management decisions, including use of county comprehensive plans and an emergency clause; it drew support from the Idaho Farm Bureau and the Idaho Association of Counties and was sent to the floor with a due pass recommendation. House Bill 610 would preserve the homeowners exemption for people temporarily absent from their residence while serving in certain missions or similar service, with the sponsor comparing it to protections for military members; senators raised questions about the bill’s narrow scope and possible broader applications, but it also passed out of committee due pass. House Bill 731 would set up Idaho’s participation in a federal education tax credit scholarship program, allowing donors to receive up to a $1,700 federal tax credit for contributions to scholarship-granting organizations; testimony from the Idaho Family Policy Center and others supported the bill as expanding school choice, and the committee sent it to the floor due pass.
During discussion of House Bill 731, senators clarified that the credit is federal rather than state-based, that donors receive the tax benefit while scholarship-granting organizations decide how funds are awarded, and that Idaho’s action is intended to make participation permanent. After the bills were handled, the committee introduced and congratulated page Grace Louder, who spoke about her interests in photography, the outdoors, bugs, and her upcoming graduation and birthday.

Summary:
The Senate convened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, roll call, and approval of the prior journal. The President introduced guests from California, then announced committee substitutions and a referral change for Senate Bill 1267, which was withdrawn from Judiciary and Elections and sent to Appropriations, Transportation, and Technology. The chamber then moved through third-reading consent-calendar bills, with several measures on mental health services, special license plates, optometrists, claims relief, Department of Revenue matters, and Attorney General-related provisions. Senate Bill 1112 failed, while Senate Bills 1153, 1242, 1023, 1097, 1210, 1401, 1430, 1452, and 1613 all passed and were transmitted to the House. The Senate also adopted SCM 1003, urging Congress to amend the Constitution to allow states to regulate and limit campaign finance, after debate about money in politics and Citizens United.
The chamber then received House Concurrent Resolution 2060, a death resolution honoring former legislator and University of Arizona administrator George Cunningham. The resolution was read in full, adopted unanimously, and signed in open session. The Senate recessed to allow Cunningham’s family onto the floor, where several senators offered personal tributes describing his public service, budget expertise, mentorship, and work with the Grand Canyon Institute and the University of Arizona. After the memorial observance, the Senate resumed briefly for announcements.
Committee notices were given for Judiciary and Elections, Rules, and caucuses on the following Monday, while Federalism, Finance, and Military Affairs and Border Security were announced as not meeting. Senator Sears read a legislative proclamation honoring Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. for his civil rights and economic justice legacy. The Senate then adjourned until Monday, February 23, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.

Summary:
The House Revenue and Taxation Committee met on February 3, 2026, and first approved the minutes from January 28 and 29 by unanimous voice vote. The committee then took up two Tax Commission rule dockets presented by Vice Chair Weber. The first, docket 3501-0-2-2501, covered sales and use tax rules and was described as a major zero-based regulation cleanup with substantial deletions and relocations of text. Members asked detailed questions about terminology changes, including a correction from “reality” to “realty,” the treatment of computer software versus canned software, cloud storage, short-term rentals, yard sales, and exemption certificate forms. Tax Commission staff explained that most changes were intended to restate or clarify existing law rather than change tax policy, and that Idaho Code controls over rule language.
The most significant discussion centered on yard sales and the new small seller threshold. Representatives Monks, Shepard, Birch, and others raised concerns that the rule language could conflict with recently passed legislation allowing small sellers up to $5,000 before permit and tax obligations apply. Tax Commission staff acknowledged the need to review the language and possibly strike or revise the yard sale section, and also said they would try to provide revenue information on yard sales. On motion by Representative Monks, the committee held docket 3501-0-2-2501 to a date certain of February 9, 2026, and the motion passed. The second docket, 3501-06-2501, dealing with hotel, motel, and campground rules, was presented as another zero-based cleanup with about 37% of the text removed or moved, and it was approved by voice vote without discussion.
Before adjournment, the chair noted the committee would not meet the next day and would reconvene Thursday at 9 a.m. to hear an RS from Representative Cheatham and House Bill 551.

Summary:
The Assembly Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs heard four bills after briefly opening as a subcommittee due to a lack of quorum. AB 571 by Assembly Member Quirk-Silva proposed a targeted CEQA exemption and urgency clause to help move forward the Southern California Veterans Cemetery at Gypsum Canyon in Anaheim. Supporters, including the Orange County Board of Supervisors, veterans organizations, and county veterans service officers, said the project has broad local backing, significant funding, and has been delayed for more than a decade; there was no opposition testimony. The committee later voted the bill out on a unanimous 8-0 vote to Appropriations.
AB 1412 by Assembly Member Jeff Gonzalez would require school districts to implement a transferring special education student’s IEP within 30 days of receiving records from out of state, coordinate with parents and prior schools, and accept unofficial records pending validation. The author and a Department of Defense witness said military-connected children with special needs often face harmful delays when families move, while the Association of California School Administrators registered opposition and said it was working with the author on clarifying concerns. The bill passed 8-0 to Appropriations.
AB 1433 by Assembly Member Sharp-Collins sought to expand eligibility for student support funding at non-credit centers and stand-alone community college institutions, especially those serving veterans and other non-traditional students. Support came from San Diego College of Continuing Education, Calbright College, the Department of Defense, and several students and staff who described non-credit programs as important pathways to jobs, certifications, and veteran transition support; there was no opposition. The committee approved the bill 8-0 to Appropriations. The consent item, AB 1346 by Assembly Member DeMaio, was also moved out on a unanimous vote.
