Summary:
The committee began with short video presentations highlighting historic sites in Prescott, including the Arizona Pioneer Home and the Charlotte Hall Museum/First Territorial Governor’s Mansion, with members discussing the value of showcasing district landmarks and rural history. The committee then took up HB 2804, a bill to create a state rural development and housing tax credit tied to the federal low-income housing tax credit for projects in counties under 800,000 population. Supporters, including the Flagstaff mayor and several affordable-housing developers, said the bill would help finance rural and workforce housing, especially for seniors, veterans, and low-income residents, while opponents from the Arizona Free Enterprise Club argued the program is inefficient, hard to police, and benefits intermediaries more than residents. Members debated the policy at length, but the bill was ultimately passed on a 7-0 vote with a due pass recommendation.
The committee then considered HB 2388, which would appropriate unspecified funds to the Arizona Commerce Authority to study the economic benefits of small modular reactors and data centers for the state and local governments. The sponsor described it as a study bill to gather information on a topic already drawing significant attention, and a representative from the Libre Initiative supported it as a way to assess workforce and economic opportunities. Members discussed possible amendments, including adding data on utility-rate impacts and other costs, and the sponsor said she was open to that conversation. The bill passed on a 6-1 vote, with one member opposed and others expressing support contingent on possible amendments.

Summary:
The House Labor, Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee met with a quorum and heard two bills from Representative Martinez. House Bill 56 would appropriate $1 million to the Department of Veterans Services to expand behavioral health and suicide prevention efforts for veterans. Supporters, including the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce, the Department of Veterans Services, the Disability Coalition, New Mexico Professional Firefighters, the New Mexico Veterans and Military Families Caucus, and NAMI New Mexico, said the funding would help veterans navigate a difficult system, improve outreach in rural areas, and address New Mexico’s high veteran suicide rate and related alcohol and drug deaths. Committee members asked about whether the program was new or an expansion of an existing effort, how services would be delivered, and whether outreach would reach homeless and rural veterans. The secretary explained that the bill would augment an existing Suicide Prevention Act program, use contracts with outside providers rather than direct services, and require two term employees for contract management and outreach. The committee voted 7-1 to give HB 56 a due pass and send it to the next committee.
The committee then heard House Bill 55, which would create an income tax deduction for retirement income earned by first responders, similar to an existing benefit for military retirees. Supporters argued it would help recruit and retain firefighters, law enforcement, and other first responders, and could encourage retirees to move to New Mexico and contribute economically. Several members raised concerns about the fiscal impact, the lack of a sunset, the narrow definition of first responder, and Taxation and Revenue Department concerns that the bill could reduce general fund revenue by about $6.1 million in the first year and might not attract retirees on its own. The sponsor said he had not yet met with Tax and Rev but would do so, and noted he was open to a sunset if it helped the bill move forward. Despite concerns, the committee voted 7-1 to pass HB 55 to the next committee, with members explaining their votes and emphasizing that the bill would receive further vetting in Tax and Revenue.

Summary:
The Senate convened with a quorum, offered an invocation, and approved the previous day’s journal. The chamber received a House message announcing passage of H.C.R. 54, and then took up a series of recognitions and resolutions honoring visiting groups, including Texas Society of CPAs Advocacy Day, the Texas A&M System Chancellor’s Student Advisory Council, Dimmit County officials, the Doctor of the Day, and Leadership Frisco. Senators also recognized the Senate’s memorial and ceremonial guests throughout the day.
The main floor business centered on two commemorative resolutions. Senate Resolution 15 marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the start of Texas Holocaust Remembrance Week. Senators King, Menendez, Bettencourt, Perry, Hughes, Hinojosa, Campbell, Hall, Cook, Paxton, West, Parker, and others spoke in support, emphasizing Holocaust education, opposition to anti-Semitism and denial, remembrance of victims and survivors, and the importance of teaching students to stand up against hatred. The resolution was adopted, and the names of all senators and the lieutenant governor were added.
The Senate also adopted Senate Resolution 17 designating January 28 as Sexual Assault Survivors Day. Senator Parker described the prevalence and underreporting of sexual assault, the impact on survivors, and the need for prevention, support services, and stronger responses; Senator Cook spoke as a survivor and emergency room nurse and highlighted rape-kit backlogs and the need for victim support. The chamber then adopted Senate Resolution 14 honoring Brazoria County Sheriff’s Deputy Jesus Jesse Vargas, who was killed in the line of duty, with Senators Middleton and Huffman urging action against violent offenders and stronger protections for law enforcement. Several additional resolutions were adopted, including SRs 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, and 12, and SR 54 granting permission for the Legislature to adjourn for more than three days was approved by roll call, 31 ayes and 0 nays. The Senate later adjourned until 11 a.m. Wednesday, January 29, 2025, in memory of Deputy Vargas and Sergeant Mark Allen Butler, whom Senator Kolkhorst also honored in remarks.

Summary:
The Senate Health and Social Services Committee met with a quorum, approved the minutes from the prior two meetings, and briefly acknowledged the tragedy at Christiana Care before moving to legislation. The committee heard House Bill 385, which creates a statewide nurse preceptor grant program to expand clinical training placements for nursing students; testimony from nursing organizations, health care associations, and educators emphasized workforce shortages, the need for preceptor stipends and training, and the bill’s potential to help students complete programs and remain in Delaware. Members asked about eligibility and reporting, and several senators asked to be added as co-sponsors. Public comment was uniformly supportive, and the bill was advanced out of committee.
The committee then considered House Bill 424, which repeals Delaware’s Autism Surveillance and Registration Program and requires DHSS to expunge protected health information collected through the registry. The sponsor and DHSS said the registry is no longer used for research or policy development and that repeal would reduce outdated reporting burdens; Autism Delaware, the Delaware Health Care Association, and the State Council for Persons with Disabilities support the change. A committee member raised the question of whether families would be notified before records are expunged, and DHSS said that process was not yet clear and would need further verification. Members discussed the issue, and the bill also moved forward.
House Bill 419 was next, making children in foster care automatically eligible for the Purchase of Care child care subsidy and extending the same treatment to certain kinship and safety-plan placements through House Amendment 1. The Children’s Department and advocacy groups said the bill would provide immediate stability for children and caregivers, reduce delays from applications and income verification, and support working foster and kinship families. The committee also heard House Bill 359, which would allow cremation as an option for unclaimed and indigent remains when there is no family objection or next of kin cannot be found, addressing a shortage of burial plots and lowering costs; funeral industry testimony focused on preserving next-of-kin rights. Finally, the committee heard House Bill 475, creating a Delaware Nursing Advancement Fund financed by a $10 surcharge on nursing licenses and disciplinary fines to support workforce data collection and analysis through a nonprofit partner, and House Bill 165, authorizing physician associates, occupational therapists, and APRNs to perform dry needling under training and practice standards set by the Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline. All of the bills received supportive testimony, several members added their names as co-sponsors, and the committee adjourned after moving through the agenda.

Committee:
Senate Education
Summary:
The Senate Education Committee approved the minutes from February 18, 2026, and then heard Senate Bill 1335 from Senator Tammy Nichols. The bill would require students receiving state-appropriated support for veterinary education to return to Idaho for four years and spend 600 hours per year, or about 30% of their time, treating agricultural animals. Supporters said the measure is meant to address Idaho’s shortage of large-animal veterinarians and ensure a return on existing taxpayer-funded veterinary seats, with testimony from the Idaho Farm Bureau, Idaho Veterinary Medical Association, Idaho Cattle Association, and Idaho Wool Growers. The IVMA said it was neutral, citing concerns about the bill’s detailed requirements, pay differences, and whether enough jobs would be available, while some senators questioned whether the bill was more of a mandate than an incentive and whether the requirement should apply to current or future students.
Committee members also discussed technical questions about the bill’s timing, the mixed-animal training requirement, and whether service could occur outside Idaho. Senator Nichols and testifiers said the intent was to apply the bill beginning with the 2027-28 academic year and to ensure students receive training in mixed-practice agricultural veterinary medicine. After closing remarks from the sponsor, Senator Burtenshaw moved to send SB 1335 to the floor with a due pass recommendation, Senator Carlson seconded, and the motion passed despite Senator Zito stating she would vote no because she opposed using state money in this way.
The committee then received a presentation from Dr. Sally Brown of the College of Idaho on behalf of the Idaho Higher Education Literacy Partnership. She described the group’s work to strengthen teacher preparation in the science of reading, revise literacy standards, develop competency guides and assessments, and support literacy partnerships across Idaho’s higher education institutions. Whitney Ward of Northwest Nazarene University and Carolyn Court of Boise State University highlighted school-district partnerships, literacy summits, and clinical placements for teacher candidates, emphasizing that principals and district leaders also need literacy training to improve systems and support classroom instruction. Committee members asked about why administrators need this training, and presenters said principals play a key role in coaching, walkthroughs, and supporting schoolwide literacy systems.

Summary:
The Senate convened with 32 members present, a quorum established, and opened with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. The journal was approved as corrected, and the chamber received committee reports and House messages. Several bills were advanced: Senate bills 1261, 1262, 1265, and 1266 were reported out of committee for second reading, and House Bill 504 was also reported out. The Senate also received House bills 520, 579, 580, 581, and 583 for introduction, and Senate Bill 1225 and House Joint Memorial 10 were processed for enrollment and transmittal.

The chamber then moved several bills to third reading, including Senate Bills 1240, 1248, 1249, and 1251, after second-reading action on additional bills such as 1250, 1246, 1247, 1254, 1255, 1256, and 1264.
On final passage, Senate Bill 1240, a comprehensive overhaul of Idaho’s guardianship and conservatorship laws, received strong support after debate emphasizing added protections, alternatives to full guardianship, and a delayed implementation date of January 1, 2027; it passed 32-0 with three absent and excused. Senate Bill 1248, eliminating the old county capital crimes defense fund after the state took over public defense, also passed 32-0. Senate Bill 1249, a code cleanup measure updating an outdated time-zone reference, passed 32-0. Senate Bill 1251, clarifying the Attorney General’s civil enforcement authority to seek injunctions and declaratory relief, passed 30-3 with two absent. All passed bills were transmitted to the House.
During miscellaneous business, senators announced upcoming events including the University of Idaho 4-H Know Your Government program, a birthday acknowledgment for Senator Shippee, and a memorial service for deceased senators scheduled for Monday, along with an afternoon session for bill introductions.
