Summary:
The Appropriations Committee on Pre-K-12 Education met with a quorum present and first temporarily postponed SB 920 on mathematics education. The committee then took up SB 1216 on public school personnel compensation, sponsored by Senator Rodriguez, which would give districts more flexibility in educator pay by restoring meaningful cost-of-living adjustments for teachers with direct student contact, allowing recognition of relevant advanced degrees, and removing rigid performance-pay caps. Several senators spoke in support, emphasizing teacher retention, compensation, and education as a state investment. The bill was reported favorably on a unanimous roll call vote.
After a brief recess, the committee considered CS/SB 1036 on school counselors, sponsored by Senator Calatayud, to address counselor shortages by removing certification barriers tied to classroom teacher requirements. The sponsor and supporting testimony described recruitment and retention problems, high counselor-to-student ratios, and the need for counselors to focus on student academics, mental health, and college/career readiness rather than administrative duties. Public testimony came from students, educators, and school personnel who described limited access to counselors and the impact on student well-being and college planning.
Committee members broadly supported the bill while noting that counselors are often overburdened and that additional support personnel, including BRACE advisors, may also need attention in the future. Senators also discussed broader efficiency measures and the need for schools and colleges to improve access to guidance services. CS/SB 1036 was reported favorably by unanimous vote. At the end of the meeting, members recorded their votes on the two bills, and the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The committee approved the minutes from February 18 and March 4, 2026, then took up House Bill 2122 while holding House Bill 2910. HB 2122 would clarify reciprocity and endorsement requirements for professional registration with the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration, including that applicants must hold a valid license, registration, or certification issued by the proper authority in another jurisdiction and, in some cases, a national council record. Support testimony described it as a simple cleanup measure that would facilitate reciprocity, including for Arizona engineers and the United Kingdom. The committee voted 7-0 to give HB 2122 a do pass recommendation.
The committee then considered House Bill 2184 with an eight-page strike-everything amendment. The amended bill would extend the deadline for filing death certificates after taking possession of human remains from seven calendar days to 14 business days, require a disposition transit permit in certain cases involving unborn children under 20 weeks’ gestation or under 350 grams, and address parental authority and abortion clinic form requirements. Testimony in support emphasized grieving parents’ need for dignity, burial options, and recognition after miscarriage or fetal death, while opposition was narrow and focused on replacing the term “unborn child” with “fetal remains.” Several members said they were sympathetic but also stressed that wording mattered.
The committee adopted the strike-everything amendment and then voted 4-3 to give HB 2184, as amended, a do pass recommendation. Senators Epstein, Fernandez, and Ortiz voted no, with Epstein explaining that he wanted the bill to move forward but believed the language needed to be changed before final passage. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The committee heard House Bill 2010, which would prohibit sellers of digital goods from using terms like “buy” or “purchase” in a way that implies unrestricted ownership when the consumer is actually receiving a license, and would require clearer disclosures, post-transaction notices, prorated refunds or alternative access if license terms change, and enforcement under the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act. The sponsor said the bill responds to consumers being misled about digital purchases and to concerns that licensed content can be altered or removed after sale. The bill was approved on a 7-0 do pass vote.
The committee also heard House Bill 2192, which would require compensation protections for minors featured in monetized online content, including trust-account requirements similar to child actor protections, recordkeeping, and a process for adults who were featured as minors to request removal or editing of content that identifies them. Google testified in support, saying the bill mirrors existing protections for child actors and provides a uniform standard; the sponsor said it addresses the growing child influencer industry. An amendment was adopted to clarify that platforms may rely on existing trust-and-safety systems and are not required to proactively monitor user content or be liable for third-party content if they comply with mitigation requirements. The bill then passed 7-0 as amended.
House Bill 2310 was described as a technical fix to Arizona’s qualified marketplace contractor law for gig-economy platforms, clarifying that contracts may be terminated without cause on reasonable notice and that the contractor may terminate unilaterally. Lyft supported the measure, saying it removes ambiguity without changing the independent contractor framework; one senator questioned the wording, but the sponsor and witness said the intent was to preserve driver independence. The bill passed 7-0. The committee then heard House Bill 2501, an agency-requested measure from the Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions that conforms Arizona’s appraisal management company definition to federal law by updating the definition to include administering appraisal panels and defining a 12-month period. It also passed 7-0.

Summary:
The committee heard a presentation from KDE on the revised Kentucky academic standards for reading and writing. KDE explained the statutory six-year review process, the public comment periods, and the main revisions, including updates tied to the science of reading, decodable text, encoding/decoding, and an updated vision statement. KDE said 308 responses were received on the initial public comment, most respondents favored keeping standards as-is, and about 12% of standards were revised. The department also said the document was streamlined by removing repeated graphics and reducing its size by about 24%, and that a later comment period drew more than 400 responses. No new standards were flagged for review.
Members asked about alignment between standards, curriculum, assessments, and NAEP, and KDE said instructional resources should be aligned to standards, KSA assessments are aligned to the standards, and screeners/diagnostics help identify student needs. Representative Truett raised the idea of a textbook-to-standards crosswalk, and KDE said publishers and a future repository partner should provide such crosswalks for local districts. Representative Bojanowski asked why foundational reading skills are not directly assessed on the third-grade KSA; KDE responded that the assessment is designed to measure end-of-grade expectations, while screening and diagnostics are used earlier to identify decoding needs. Representative Gel asked about early childhood supports, and KDE said it is working with early learning and special education offices and promoting LETRS professional learning for both teachers and preschool educators.
The committee then received the mathematics improvement committee report. KDE said the mathematics committee unanimously approved a new strategic plan for improving math achievement from pre-K through grade 20 and adult education. The plan centers on six priorities: student empowerment, effective mathematics teaching and learning, continuous educator development and growth, a continuum of learning, community and family partnerships, and teacher recruitment and retention. KDE said the plan is intended as a living document with goals, recommended actions, and evidence bases, and that it aligns with the Kentucky Numeracy Counts Act by supporting high-quality instructional resources, professional learning, and family resources. In response to Senator Thomas, KDE explained that the professional learning recommendation means districts should tailor teacher training to classroom needs and instructional materials so math teachers are better equipped to implement standards and support students.
