Summary:
The House first took up several Committee on Rules reports extending committee reporting deadlines on current House documents. Extensions were adopted for the Committees on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies, Environment and Natural Resources, Labor and Workforce Development, Mental Health, Substance Use, and Recovery, and Municipalities and Regional Government, with the rules suspended where needed and the orders adopted by voice vote.
The Committee on Steering and Policy then recommended five bills for House consideration: House Nos. 1068, 1641, 3417, 3438, and 4664. After suspension of Rule 7A, the House ordered all five bills to a third reading. The chamber also took up House No. 4624, establishing a sick leave bank for Jean McCarran of the Registry of Motor Vehicles; the emergency preamble was adopted by a recorded count, and the bill later passed to be enacted.
The House also passed to be enacted several local bills, including measures extending residency requirements for certain Newton police and fire personnel, authorizing investments for the Richmond Free Public Library, and increasing the residency limit for Acton police and fire personnel. In addition, the House concurred in Senate amendments to the Lynn charter bill (House No. 4149), passed the Greenfield charter bill (House No. 4379) to be engrossed, and passed the Ludlow unpaid bill measure (House No. 4589) to be engrossed.

Summary:
The House opened with the pledge and quickly took up several committee reports and local matters. It adopted a resolution congratulating Captain Mark S. Tommel on his retirement as fire captain in Maynard. The chamber then advanced multiple bills from Ways and Means, including a fiscal year 2025 supplemental appropriations bill (House 4530), a bill setting the 2026 state primary election date (House 4531), and a local bill on affordable housing and branch library space in Dorchester (House 4532, with an amendment). It also passed to enact two local bills already on final passage: one authorizing Lexington to grant additional on-premises wine and malt beverage licenses and another authorizing Melrose to establish a means-tested senior property tax exemption.
The most substantial debate centered on House 4530, the supplemental appropriations bill. Representative Lawn spoke in support, describing it as an urgent response to federal health care funding cuts and emphasizing support for safety net hospitals, community health centers, and the Health Safety Net. He cited a total $234 million investment, including $122 million for acute care hospitals, $35 million for community health centers, $2.5 million for the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers, and $77 million for the Health Safety Net. After a roll call vote, the House passed the bill to be engrossed by a vote of 148-1.
The House also observed a moment of silence in memory of former House clerk Bartley J. Bart Joyce, recognizing his long service to the chamber. Earlier, members briefly recessed and later resumed after a quorum issue and a roll call. The session concluded with adoption of an order to meet the next day at 11 a.m., and the House adjourned to meet Thursday in informal session.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Local and County Government met and first considered the nomination of Mary Westman to the Oklahoma Department of Libraries Board.

Following questions about his priorities and plans, the committee voted 6-0 to advance his nomination to the Senate. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The Assembly Committee on Emergency Management met with a quorum and first took up its consent calendar, advancing AB 1749, AB 1866, AB 1873, and committee bill AB 2471 on a 5-0 vote, with the roll held open for an absent member. The committee then heard AB 1934 by Assembly Member Bennett, which would create a voluntary State Fire Marshal home hardening certification program tied to wildfire mitigation and defensible space. Bennett described the bill as a response to increasing wildfire destruction and said the California Professional Firefighters Association supported it; the committee accepted amendments, and the bill passed as amended to the Committee on Natural Resources on a 5-0 vote.
The committee also heard AB 2472, authored by Assembly Member Ransom, which would require Cal OES to develop additional catastrophic incident plans for pandemics, CBRNE incidents, and wildland-urban interface wildfires. Ransom said the bill would fill gaps in existing catastrophic planning and improve preparedness for future disasters. A committee member raised concerns about duplicative planning and suggested the bill could be amended to rely on existing plans where possible; Ransom responded that the bill was intended to supplement, not duplicate, current efforts. AB 2472 passed to the Committee on Appropriations on a 6-0 vote.
After returning to the consent calendar, the committee completed the remaining roll call and confirmed the earlier consent items were out. The meeting then adjourned.

Senate Education Postsecondary
Keywords:

Summary:
The Committee on Education Postsecondary heard and approved CS/SB 1694, which would revise general education core standards at public postsecondary institutions to incorporate technology-related instruction. The adopted amendment shifted the bill away from creating a sixth core course and instead required technology integration within existing core courses to include digital literacy, AI tool application, and related instruction in areas such as software engineering, networks, databases, and cybersecurity as applicable. For high school computer science courses, the amendment added guidance on critical evaluation of AI results, AI limitations, and ethical use of AI. The committee adopted the amendment and then voted the bill favorably.
The committee also took up confirmation appointments on tabs 1 through 2 and, on one motion, recommended confirmation of all appointees favorably. In addition, it considered SPB 7038 on postsecondary education and workforce development, which addresses tuition and fee policies, consumer protections, career and technical education, student acceleration, and institutional operations. Members asked about dual enrollment expansion, CIE licensure exemptions, and the removal of the Classic Learning Test as a fee-waiver qualifier; staff said the dual enrollment change was intended to expand student options without necessarily increasing enrollment, the CLT removal was an error to be corrected, and a Florida Dental Association representative raised concern about preserving the long-standing exemption for dental assisting programs. The committee moved SPB 7038 as a committee bill and reported it favorably.

Committee:
House General Laws
Summary:
The House Committee on General Laws met with a quorum and took up House Bill 2155 in executive session. The committee considered and adopted House Committee Substitute 0.03C after discussion of several changes: limiting reimbursement to labor costs rather than total costs, adding “bad actor” language to exclude entities not lawfully in the right-of-way, updating notification and information-sharing requirements, and limiting the bill to road projects. Members raised concerns about the lack of a specific dispute-resolution mechanism for disagreements over reasonable costs and about the unpredictability of labor costs and possible manipulation.
After a brief at-ease to review the substitute, the committee adopted the HCS by voice vote. On the motion to do pass HB 2155 as amended, Representative Matieson explained longstanding concerns about fairness between municipalities and providers, but said he would support the bill to keep negotiations going and encourage a better amendment before floor debate. Other members voiced support or opposition, with some no votes reflecting concerns about cost allocation and ambiguity.
The committee then took a roll-call vote and passed HB 2155, HCS 0.03C, by 8-4. The meeting adjourned after the bill was reported do pass.

Committee:
Senate Education Postsecondary
Summary:
The Committee on Education Postsecondary heard and approved CS/SB 1694, which revises postsecondary general education standards to incorporate technology-related instruction. The adopted amendment shifted the bill away from creating a sixth core course and instead required technology-integrated general education courses to include digital literacy, AI tool application, and related content such as software engineering, networks, databases, and cybersecurity as applicable. The amendment also addressed high school computer science instruction by emphasizing critical evaluation of AI results, limitations of AI, and ethical use. After brief questions and no opposition, the committee voted unanimously to report the bill favorably.
The committee also took up a confirmation package for appointments on tabs 1 through 2 and, on one motion, recommended confirmation of all appointees favorably. It then considered SPB 7038, a committee bill on postsecondary education and workforce development that touches tuition and fee policies, consumer protections, career and technical education, student acceleration, and institutional operations. Senator Berman asked about dual enrollment expansion, CIE licensure/jurisdiction, and removal of the classic learning test as a fee-waiver qualifier; the sponsor said the dual enrollment change was intended to expand student options without necessarily increasing enrollment costs, and that the classic learning test removal was an error to be corrected later.
Joanne Hart of the Florida Dental Association appeared in support of preserving the existing exemption for dental assisting programs from CIE requirements, noting the programs are approved by the Board of Dentistry and help address workforce shortages. After discussion, the committee adopted the motion to submit SPB 7038 as a committee bill and then voted unanimously to report it favorably. The meeting concluded with adjournment.

Committee:
House Education
Summary:
The committee first approved the minutes from Wednesday, January 14, 2026. Members were reminded that RS introductions are not the place for broad bill debate, though technical questions could be discussed.
Representative Chris Matthias presented RS 33033, which would require schools to notify parents when a student is involved in a serious bullying incident, including incidents resulting in suspension, and would eliminate the current requirement for schools to compile and send bullying incident counts to the Idaho Department of Education. After a brief procedural issue over whether members had access to the RS, a motion to introduce the RS was made and approved.
Chairman Dale Hawkins then presented RS 32917, a cleanup measure related to K-12 instruction on sexual orientation. He said the proposal was intended to remove confusing leftover language from an earlier version of the bill that had already been enacted. Representative Matthias raised a technical question about how the change would interact with existing opt-in provisions for human sexuality instruction, and Representative Garner asked for statistics on how often the issue arises in classrooms. Hawkins said he would bring data back later. The committee then voted to introduce RS 32917, and the meeting adjourned with no further business.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Banking and Financial Institutions met to consider three bills, including two on consent. The consent calendar items, SB 546 and SB 700, were adopted by roll call. The committee then heard SB 505 by Senator Richardson, which would require digital wallet providers and money transmitters operating in California to use two-factor or multi-factor authentication at login, with a delayed operative date of January 1, 2028. The author said the bill was narrowly tailored to address consumer protection and account takeover risks, and noted ongoing discussions about self-hosted crypto wallets and possible clarifying amendments.
Support testimony came from Rise Economy, while representatives from the California Blockchain Advocacy Coalition, Andreessen Horowitz, and TechNet described themselves as “tweeners” or re-evaluating their positions, citing the author’s and staff’s work on definitions and amendments. No formal opposition was registered. Vice Chair Nilo said he supported the bill but raised concerns about technology changing over time and the need to avoid locking the state into one security approach; the author responded that the bill was intentionally narrow and that he would return with updated policy if needed.
The committee moved SB 505 on a due pass and re-refer to Appropriations motion, and the bill received enough votes to pass out of committee. The chair also noted the broader concern about fraud and scams affecting consumers. The committee then completed the consent calendar and adjourned.

Committee:
Senate Banking and Financial Institutions
Summary:
The Senate Committee on Banking and Financial Institutions met to hear two-year bills that had not advanced the prior spring. The committee first adopted the consent calendar, which included SB 546 and SB 700, on a roll call vote. The committee then heard SB 505 from Senator Richardson, a consumer protection bill aimed at digital wallets and money transmitters.
SB 505 would require digital wallet providers and money transmitters operating in California to use two-factor or multi-factor authentication at login, with a delayed operative date of January 1, 2028. The author said the bill was narrowly focused on authentication, not transactions, fees, or data collection, and noted ongoing discussions with stakeholders about self-hosted crypto wallets and possible definitional amendments. Support came from Rise Economy, while representatives from the California Blockchain Advocacy Coalition, Andreessen Horowitz, and TechNet described themselves as neutral or “tweener,” citing appreciation for the author’s work and the revised language.
Committee members generally supported the bill while raising concerns about fraud, phishing, and the possibility that technology could change over time. Vice Chair Niello said he had some trepidation about mandating a specific technology but supported the bill as a practical anti-fraud measure. The chair also noted the bill’s narrow scope and the need for continued conversation. SB 505 was given a do pass and re-refer recommendation to Appropriations and passed the committee on a 5-0 vote; the consent calendar also passed with five votes. The committee then adjourned.

Committee:
Senate Judiciary
Summary:
The Judiciary Committee met on Thursday, April 24, and considered several judicial nominations and confirmations. The first items were Governor’s Messages 790, 788, and 789, naming nominees for Chief Judge of the Intermediate Court of Appeals and Circuit Court Judge positions for the First Circuit. Members briefly discussed the nominations, including one public concern raised about Judge Karen El Holma, but the chair and members stated the nominees were qualified and recommended consent in each case. All three nominations were approved by unanimous votes of the members present, with some members excused.
The committee then took up Judiciary Communications 29, 30, and 31, covering confirmations to the District Family Court and District Court of the First Circuit for six-year terms. The committee again recommended consent on each item and adopted those recommendations without objection. For JC 31, the chair noted that the nominee was absent due to a family memorial for her father-in-law and asked members not to weigh that absence against her. The nominations were approved, and applause followed several of the votes.
At the end of the meeting, the chair announced that the Senate floor vote was anticipated for Wednesday, April 30 at 11:30 a.m., and then adjourned the committee.
