Committee: House Legislative Review

Summary: The Legislative Review Committee met with six members present and a quorum. The chair announced that Senator Nuremberg’s Senate Bill 1544 would not be taken up that day and would instead be heard the next day at 9:00 a.m. The committee then moved into executive session and considered a House Committee substitute for House Bills 3068 and 3049. Representative Jeff Myers explained that the substitute was intended as a vehicle for several public safety-related provisions, including removing a sunset from the line-of-duty death benefit, correcting sex offender registry issues from recently signed legislation, allowing the Department of Mental Health to contract with the Department of Corrections for housing sexually violent predators when secure beds are unavailable, preventing registry information from being changed by offenders until they are eligible for removal, and adding notification rules for temporary workers such as carnival employees. He also described additional inserted provisions involving dangerous dogs, wire theft and critical infrastructure, driver’s education, intimate digital depictions, and civil detention procedures. The committee adopted the House Committee substitute without objection, then voted on the House substitute for House Committee substitute for House Bills 3068 and 3049. The motion passed by a vote of 8 ayes and 1 no, with Representative Fuchs voting no. The chair then reminded members that Senator Nuremberg’s bill would be heard the next day and that road and bridge naming provisions from Representative Black’s bill would be added for consideration. The committee adjourned with no further business.

Summary: The committee heard several bills, though no final votes were taken because a quorum had not yet been established. SB 493 by Senator Becker would add war or armed conflict to California’s price-gouging emergency triggers, with the author and supporters arguing it would protect consumers from gas-price spikes tied to international conflict. Opponents, including business and housing groups, warned the bill could over-trigger emergency powers and create broad, ongoing price controls. The chair indicated support for an aye-as-amended recommendation once quorum was reached. SB 1056 by Senator Grayson would require protective orders for disclosure of sexually explicit material involving adult victims in specified criminal cases. Denise Huskins-Quinn and Aaron Quinn testified in support, describing how sensitive evidence in their case was copied and handled without adequate safeguards; supporters said the bill would extend privacy protections similar to those already used for child sexual abuse material. Criminal defense attorneys supported the goal but raised concerns about notice procedures and how the bill would apply when material is in the public domain. The chair said the bill filled a gap in existing law and would receive an aye recommendation. SB 1208 by Senator Grayson would let law enforcement seize and return crypto assets used in scams and fraud to victims. The Attorney General’s office and law enforcement groups supported the bill as a tool to recover losses from transnational crypto fraud, while the ACLU and public defenders argued it lowered the burden of proof, raised constitutional concerns, and could be misused against unbanked or low-level defendants. The chair nevertheless said the bill aligned with existing law for stolen property and would be recommended aye. SB 874 by Senator Weber-Pearson would strengthen oversight of Medi-Cal behavioral health treatment services, including requiring background checks for employees of providers and convening a stakeholder workgroup; it drew support from the California Association for Behavior Analysis and no opposition was heard. Later, SB 1266 by Senator Stern would change how the value of stolen copper and related infrastructure damage is calculated, aiming to address copper theft and its costs to cities and utilities. Supporters said the bill would better capture the real harm from thefts that disrupt streetlights, telecom, and emergency services, while opponents argued it would inflate charges, turn many misdemeanors into felonies, and increase court and incarceration costs. The author said he would continue discussions and accept the amendments. Senator Cervantes presented SB 1379, which would separate the Riverside County sheriff and coroner offices and create an independent medical examiner; supporters cited in-custody death concerns and conflicts of interest, while opponents said the problem was not unique to Riverside and that the bill would override local control. Cervantes also presented SB 1418 to extend ballot-custody protections to other election records and equipment after a Riverside County ballot seizure, with support from the Attorney General’s office. Finally, Senator Blakespear began presenting SB 936 on nitrous oxide misuse, describing public health, impaired-driving, and disposal concerns, but the transcript cuts off before the bill’s testimony concluded.

Summary: The Senate opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and recognized guests from the United Kingdom Mission and England Fans Embassy ahead of the England-Ghana World Cup match. The chamber then took up several matters for final passage, including bills on Worcester police officer age requirements and North Adams retired police officers serving as special police for paid details; both were passed to be enacted and sent to the Governor. The Senate also received House action on the Senate’s resilience bill, S. 3064, which the House had amended by striking all after the enacting clause and inserting a new text. Senator Durant moved nonconcurrence and a committee of conference, and the chair appointed Senators Cyr, Rausch, and Durant to the conference committee. The Senate adopted resolutions congratulating Eddie Palladino on his retirement from MassDOT and commending Plymouth on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and it suspended Joint Rule 12 to refer several House petitions to committee. On third reading, the Senate adopted an amendment replacing S. 2120 with a new draft removing the term “hearing impaired” from the General Laws, and then passed the bill to be engrossed. It also passed to be engrossed three local bills concerning Haverhill election procedures and a Southbridge alcohol licensing extension. Finally, the Senate adopted an order setting expedited consideration of the House energy and clean power bill, H. 5175, with Ways and Means new text S.D. 3143, and adopted an order to reconvene the following Thursday at 11 a.m. before adjourning.

• safeguards public health by ensuring that any licensed naturopathic doctor who wishes to perform minor procedures

Summary: The committee heard Senate Bill 1313, presented by Senator Kelly Anthon and his legal intern, Elizabeth Marshall. The bill would allow pharmacists to voluntarily obtain dual licensure as naturopathic doctors under the Idaho Board of Naturopathic Health Care, provided they already hold an active pharmacist license, earn an approved doctoral degree in naturopathy, and meet competency standards. Supporters said the measure would improve access to natural health care, especially in rural areas, and would not expand the legal scope of practice beyond what Idaho law already allows. During questions, Senator Blaylock asked why the bill was needed and raised concerns about the relationship between pharmacy and naturopathic practice, as well as possible malpractice and standard-of-care issues. Marshall and Anthon responded that the bill is narrowly tailored and voluntary, and that dual licensees would remain subject to both the pharmacist licensing framework and the naturopathic board’s regulation. Anthon added that the bill is intended to protect practitioners who want to incorporate naturopathic methods without risking their primary license or insurance coverage, and said pharmacists had previously declined inclusion but now want to be covered. After discussion, Senator Burke moved to send Senate Bill 1313 to the floor with a due pass recommendation, Senator Zierfeld seconded, and the motion passed by voice vote with no opposition noted. The committee then adjourned.
