Summary:
The meeting focused on the Cape Verdean Cultural Center commission’s membership expansion. After an initial roll call, the chair noted quorum was not yet present, but quorum was later reached with additional members joining. The commission first reviewed and approved the January 13 meeting minutes, which covered prior discussions on public process, transparency, future listening sessions, and the need to broaden representation on the commission.
The main item was a proposed slate of 12 additional commissioner nominees developed by a nominating subcommittee. The slate was intended to fill gaps in expertise and geographic representation, including arts and cultural programming, history and preservation, museums, architecture, fundraising, nonprofit governance, higher education, language preservation, community organizing, economic development, legal expertise, and communications. Members discussed the list, made a few corrections to geographic assignments and names, and noted that nominees could decline and that additional candidates could still be considered later.
The commission voted to approve the slate of nominees, and the motion passed. Members also agreed to send appointment letters within the week. The next full meeting was scheduled for Monday, February 23 from 3 to 4 p.m., with plans to publicly market that meeting, include public comment, and continue outreach to potential commissioners and the broader community.

- The provisions in this bill to establish a transparent, collaborative communication process between private
Summary:
The House Revenue and Taxation Committee heard House Bill 897, a revised data center tax incentive bill presented by Representative Chris Bruce and Senator Lori Den Hartog. The sponsors said the bill narrows the existing sales tax exemption so it applies only to internal server equipment, limits the exemption to 20 years, requires Tax Commission reporting on foregone sales tax revenue, and modifies the property tax treatment for large data center investments. They also emphasized new conditions intended to protect ratepayers and water resources, including requiring utilities to recover electricity costs from the qualifying business entity and requiring efficient water-use arrangements. The sponsors described the measure as a tax incentive bill, not a regulatory bill.
During questions, members asked about how the bill would protect utility customers and whether data centers that generate their own power or use closed-loop cooling systems would still qualify. The sponsors said the electricity costs would need to be covered through energy service agreements and that construction for on-site power generation or cooling systems would not qualify for the sales tax exemption because the bill limits the incentive to server equipment. Public testimony was generally supportive. Lane Thornton, a Kuna farmer, backed the bill because of concerns about power costs and water use, and Courtney Dawson of the Idaho Rural Water Association supported the water-related provisions and asked for a due pass recommendation.
After closing remarks, Representative Monks moved to send House Bill 897 to the floor with a due pass recommendation. The committee approved the motion by voice vote, and Representative Bruce was designated to carry the bill on the floor.

Summary:
The committee considered a series of county, municipal, housing, and public-safety bills. House Bill 3748 would allow county governments to partner with four-year institutions and was reported out after a brief explanation and no questions. House Bill 4203, with a PCS adopted, would let the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission explore guidelines for small-unit multifamily housing of eight units or fewer and four stories or fewer; it passed 5-1. House Bill 3919, also with a PCS, would let county commissioners reduce county fair boards from nine members to five to help achieve quorum; it passed 6-0.
House Bill 3091, with a PCS changing the residency requirement from 80% to 70%, would require county elected officials to maintain a principal residence in the county and occupy it at least 70% of the time. Members discussed whether the bill should use “may” or “shall” and how it would apply in hardship or medical situations; the author said he was open to further language changes. The bill passed 6-0. House Bill 3314, creating a county-option retail sale public safety impact fee on marijuana, also passed 6-0. House Bill 3435, requiring a single-subject rule for municipal bonds so voters can consider bond issues separately, passed 6-0.
House Bill 3913, which would allow municipalities to authorize single-stair apartment buildings up to six stories if they meet modern fire-safety standards, failed on a 2-4 vote after no questions or debate. House Bill 4132 would provide liability protection for local governments that follow recognized cybersecurity frameworks and passed 6-0. House Bill 4303, a collaborative measure extending the deadline for municipalities to publish ordinances from 15 days to 30 days, also passed 6-0. The committee adjourned after completing the posted agenda.

Summary:
The commission met for a short special meeting focused on reviewing and approving the January 13 minutes and voting on a nominated slate of additional commissioners for the Cape Verdean Cultural Center effort. After roll call, quorum was initially uncertain but was confirmed once additional members joined. The minutes were approved without objection after a brief recap of prior discussions about public transparency, listening sessions, membership expansion, and the need to fill representation and expertise gaps.
Members then discussed the nominating subcommittee’s work, which had narrowed a larger pool of candidates to 12 recommended additions. The slate was designed to broaden geographic and functional representation, including arts and cultural programming, preservation, museum expertise, construction and real estate, fundraising, nonprofit governance, higher education, language preservation, community organizing, economic development, policy, legal expertise, and communications. A few corrections were made to the geographic classifications of nominees, and members noted that nominees could decline if unavailable or conflicted.
The commission voted to approve the slate of nominees. Members also noted that the commission still plans to engage additional people through listening sessions, ex officio roles, and future events, and that more names may be added later if needed. The next full meeting was scheduled for February 23 from 3 to 4 p.m., with letters to nominees to be sent out before then and public outreach for the next meeting to include social media and email announcements, along with public comment time.

Summary:
The committee met in executive session on four bills. HB 2230, which limits DHS to one annual routine review of community residential service business providers and requires better coordination and record-sharing, was amended with Harrow 796 to clarify that Adult Protective Services investigations are not limited by the bill. The amendment and the substitute bill were both adopted and HB 2230 was reported out with a due pass recommendation by an 11-0 vote.

HB 2429, implementing the Washington Thriving Strategic Plan for Children and Youth Behavioral Health, was amended with Wickham 846 to adjust leadership council and work group membership and add two tribal representatives nominated through the Governor’s Indian Health Advisory Council, while preserving tribal consultation requirements.
