Summary:
The House first adopted several ceremonial resolutions congratulating three Eagle Scouts, then concurred in Senate amendments to House bills affecting the town of Milford’s alcohol licensing law and the town of Middleton’s charter. It also passed to enact a Senate bill on maintenance of private roads in Gloucester and engrossed a House bill allowing Plymouth to create a special revenue account for land acquisition. The chamber later observed moments of silence for former Lynn City Councilor Richard “Rick” Ford, Portuguese American community leader Louis Pedroso, and Quincy veteran Mildred “Millie” Cox, and welcomed several guest groups and dignitaries, including students from Fall River, D.A.R. Good Citizen award recipients, and a British minister visiting the State House.
Most of the floor session centered on FY27 budget amendments, especially housing and shelter policy. Members debated and rejected multiple Republican amendments that would have tightened eligibility for the HomeBASE and emergency shelter programs by requiring citizenship or limiting access to U.S. citizens with Massachusetts residency, with supporters arguing the changes would reduce costs and opponents saying the programs already have strict eligibility rules and that the proposals would exclude lawful residents and vulnerable families. The House also rejected an amendment to block Housing and Livable Communities grants from being conditioned on MBTA Communities Act compliance, with supporters calling it a reprieve for noncompliant towns and opponents saying the law is helping address the housing shortage. A consolidated housing/environment amendment was then adopted 154-0, funding major housing, shelter, clean water, climate, and food assistance accounts.
The chamber also defeated amendments to create a data center commission and to eliminate the vocational-technical school admissions lottery, though the latter was withdrawn after debate. Another rejected amendment would have suspended public policy and public benefit charges on electric and gas bills; opponents said that would eliminate low-income and senior bill relief. The House then turned to education-related amendments, rejecting proposals to change special education reimbursement formulas and to raise the reimbursement rate from 75% to 80%, with opponents arguing the ideas needed committee review and cost analysis. Finally, the House began debating an amendment to fully fund regional school transportation by removing “subject to appropriation,” but the transcript ends before any final vote on that item.

Summary:
The House Health and Welfare Committee met with a quorum, welcomed Boise State nursing students, and noted a substitute member sitting in for Representative Egbert. The committee first considered Department of Health and Welfare rule dockets covering developmental disabilities agencies and residential habilitation agencies. Department staff said the rules were a comprehensive rewrite and consolidation to reduce duplication, improve clarity, and align related provider types under the same statutory authority. Members asked about physical restraint language, and staff said the definition was carried over from the residential habilitation chapter and was not intended to be more restrictive for that population. The committee approved the developmental disabilities docket and then approved the residential habilitation docket, which was described as a repeal-and-recodification into the consolidated chapter.
The committee then took up the assisted living facilities docket, which also was presented as a rewrite focused on consolidation and clarification. Most of the discussion centered on criminal history and background check provisions, especially language allowing new employees to work while background checks are pending if they are supervised by cleared staff. Representative Kaler argued the revised language weakened protections for vulnerable residents and offered a substitute motion to strike the revised subsection; after discussion with department staff about existing practice, supervision standards, and the need to preserve FBI background-check access, he withdrew the motion. The committee also asked whether the rules applied to memory care units, and staff said they do. The docket was then approved in full.
Finally, the committee approved a rule docket repealing the residential habilitation chapter because its substance had been recodified in the earlier consolidated developmental disabilities chapter. Members briefly discussed whether the rules would still be needed if the service were reduced in the budget, and staff said they would remain necessary so long as the service continued. The committee then introduced RS 33050, sponsored by Representative Redman, which would update Idaho’s midwifery statute to reflect modern evidence-based practice and allow licensed midwives to administer medications within their training and scope. The RS was introduced without opposition, and the meeting adjourned.

Summary:
The continued conference on House Bill 609 focused on reconciling House and Senate drafts dealing with firearms and other personal defense tools, local government preemption, and agency rulemaking. Representative Leyon walked through amendment 21107H, explaining that it narrows undefined terms, clarifies that the General Court has supremacy over local regulation, allows damages actions for violations of preemption law, and adds language limiting agency rules unless specifically authorized by statute. She also described a three-year sunset and a delayed effective date for new rules so existing rules could continue temporarily while the legislature considers any needed statutory carveouts.
Members then debated the practical effect of the language, especially whether it would bar agencies from adopting internal employment rules or instead require those rules to come through JCAR and be tied to express statutory authority. Several examples were discussed, including state plow drivers, corrections employees, and other workers who may need to carry personal defense tools in the field. The committee also discussed a provision making a plaintiff a prevailing party if a municipality changes a challenged policy after suit is filed, and a clause stating that good faith or advice of counsel is not a defense, though it may be considered in mitigation.
The discussion narrowed to the difference between the House approach, which some members read as an absolute prohibition on agency rules in these areas, and the Senate approach, which some members said would allow rules only when an agency can point to express enabling authority and JCAR can review them. Members agreed that the goal was to prevent agencies from adopting rules that conflict with the statute while still allowing legitimate safety-related regulations where the legislature has authorized them. The conference took a recess and later resumed with the chair stating the parties had reached an agreement in principle based on the latest Senate language, and Representative Leyon was asked to continue reviewing the draft line by line for remaining concerns.

Summary:
The committee met to consider a long caption of House and Senate bills, first announcing a list of measures ready to be passed out and then taking up a special language subcommittee report. The report covered several bills, including SB 63, SB 67, SB 73, HB 1089, HB 1090, and HB 1093, along with amendments to a larger group of bills. A motion was made to pull HB 107 out separately, but after discussion about the amendment’s impact on school districts and the process for further debate, the substitute motion failed and the special language report was adopted.
The committee then considered the revenue stabilization law and schedule. Staff explained that the main changes from the governor’s balanced budget proposal were moving county operations and higher education allocations from category B to category A, and described several fund transfers, including $100 million to Medicaid sustainability, $70 million to the Arkansas Children’s Educational Freedom account, $43.7 million to discretionary set-asides, $5 million to the motor vehicle set-aside, and two $150 million transfers related to the Quick Action Closing Fund and highway improvements. After questions about the schedule’s funding changes, the committee adopted the amendment and then passed House Bill 1100 and Senate Bill 75 as amended.
Representative McClendon then presented a bill to support expansion of the Bella Vista Veterans Wall of Honor, requesting $400,000, but withdrew the bill, saying he would seek alternate funding. The committee then moved through the remaining captioned House and Senate bills, including HB 105, HB 107, HB 1008, HB 1022, HB 1035, HB 1036, HB 1037, HB 1051, HB 1052, HB 1064, HB 1066, HB 1068, HB 1089, HB 1090, HB 1093, and Senate Bills 3, 4, 7, 8, 15, 20, 21, 30, 31, 36, 41, 43, 58, 63, 67, 73, and 77, approving them with or without amendments as noted. The chair also announced that all prior holds had been released and said the next meeting would be a Joint Budget Committee meeting focused only on peer issues before adjourning.

Summary:
The Health and Welfare Committee met to consider several Idaho Department of Health and Welfare rule dockets tied to licensing and certification. The first docket rewrote and consolidated rules for developmental disabilities agencies and residential habilitation agencies, with the department saying the changes streamline overlapping requirements and remove duplicative language. A member asked about physical restraint provisions, and staff explained the definition was carried over from the residential habilitation chapter and that restraint remains limited and subject to written consent and plan requirements. The committee approved the docket unanimously.
The committee then took up the residential assisted living facilities rewrite. Department staff said the revision reorganizes application, resident activity, admission termination, and medical review provisions, removes redundant language, and aligns fire safety references with the International Fire Code. Members focused heavily on criminal history and background check language, especially whether unlicensed employees could work before clearance and whether the proposed wording weakened supervision requirements. Staff said the change was not substantive and that employees awaiting clearance must still be supervised and not have one-to-one contact with residents; they also clarified that memory care units are covered by these rules. After questions about the application process and business registration, the member who had proposed striking a subsection withdrew the motion, and the committee approved the docket in full.
A third docket repealed the residential habilitation agencies chapter because its substance had been recodified in the earlier consolidated chapter; the committee approved that repeal as well. Finally, Representative Redman presented RS 33050, which would update Idaho’s midwifery statute to reflect modern practice and allow licensed midwives to administer medications within their training and scope. He described it as a modernization rather than a scope expansion, and the committee voted to introduce the RS. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The Senate Health and Welfare Committee reviewed several Idaho Department of Health and Welfare administrative rule dockets, mostly zero-based rewrites intended to reduce duplication, simplify language, and align rules with current statutes or federal guidance. On the reportable diseases docket, the department said the rewrite cut the chapter by about 40 percent, added viral hemorrhagic fevers as reportable diseases, and lowered the lead-reporting threshold to 3.5 micrograms per deciliter to match CDC standards. Members asked about incorporation by reference, the history of using federal guidelines, and why COVID was not listed; department staff explained that COVID was handled under broader public health authority and extraordinary-occurrence provisions rather than the reportable disease list. That docket was approved by voice vote after some discussion about whether more health policy should be placed in statute versus rule.
The committee then approved the radiation control rules, which were rewritten to shorten the chapter substantially, remove incorporation by reference, and require out-of-state licensees to register within 30 days. Next, members considered a consolidated chapter for developmental disability agencies and related provider types, including residential habilitation agencies and adult residential care providers; the department said the rewrite would streamline licensing requirements and had broad stakeholder support. The committee approved that chapter, then approved a repeal docket for residential habilitation agencies because those provisions had been moved into the new consolidated chapter.
The final docket covered residential assisted living facilities. The department said the rewrite reorganized application, resident activity, discharge, and medical review requirements, removed duplicative statutory language, and eliminated a separate NFPA building standard reference because the International Fire Code already covers it. Senators focused on discharge protections for vulnerable residents, asking about emergency discharges, nonpayment, Medicaid-related placement issues, and the role of the ombudsman and appeal rights. Department staff said residents generally receive written notice, often 30 days, and can access appeals and ombudsman assistance; immediate discharge can occur in limited situations such as nonpayment or inability to meet care needs. The committee approved the docket by voice vote and then adjourned, with a note that budget presentations would likely begin the following week.

Summary:
The Special Committee on Rural Issues heard House Bill 3375, sponsored by Rep. Koslow, a broad eminent domain reform measure aimed at protecting landowners, especially farmers and ranchers. The bill would create protections for beginning farmers and ranchers, require 15 days’ notice before surveyors enter property, extend the response period in eminent domain cases from 10 days to 60 days, bar eminent domain for wind and solar facilities, require land restoration and maintenance after construction, increase compensation to 125% of fair market value in certain cases, add tax-liability compensation, change treatment of heritage and blight-related compensation, and allow attorney’s fees when a landowner wins a higher award than the condemning authority offered. Members raised concerns about the bill’s scope, its effect on energy development, and several drafting and implementation issues, including surveyor access, maintenance standards, and whether the bill could create conflicts with existing attorney-fee provisions. The sponsor said he was open to changes and noted that an HCS would address some drafting errors and feedback.
Testimony in support came from the Missouri Farm Bureau, Missouri Cattlemen’s Association, a landowner/banker, and attorney Brent Hayden, who argued that landowners are often pressured into quick, low offers and should be treated as partners rather than obstacles. Supporters said the bill would improve transparency, due process, compensation, and restoration standards, and that it would not stop infrastructure development. Hayden described current eminent domain practice as giving landowners little leverage over route selection or restoration and said the bill would create needed discipline for condemning authorities. Several supporters also defended the wind-and-solar restriction as a response to the amount of land those projects can require and to concerns about using eminent domain for generation projects.
Opposition came from the Missouri Energy Development Association, municipal utilities, and MoDOT. Opponents said they agreed some reforms may be reasonable but warned the bill, as written, could increase costs, delay projects, and create litigation risk that would ultimately be passed on to customers and taxpayers. MoDOT said the fiscal impact could be substantial, potentially doubling annual right-of-way spending. Utility representatives also cautioned that the bill could conflict with existing attorney-fee rules and should be aligned with compromise language from other legislation. The hearing ended without a vote or committee action, with the sponsor and witnesses indicating further negotiations and possible revisions were expected.

Summary:
The House Committee on Transportation met on March 20, 2025, first on two bills and then on a series of resolutions. On SB 597, relating to administrative driver’s license revocation, the Department of the Attorney General and other agencies supported extending the deadlines for written review decisions because chemical testing results, especially from neighbor islands, can take longer to return. One individual testified in opposition. The committee amended the bill to set the review-decision deadlines at 14 and 28 days, deferred the effective date to July 1, 3000, and recommended passage with amendments by vote.
The committee then heard SB 1285 SD2, a highway safety measure that would create an impaired-driving offense, establish automatic license suspension procedures, and amend related administrative processes. The Attorney General’s office raised concerns about the new infraction structure and recommended deleting that section, while the Public Defender opposed the bill, arguing it could create due process problems and unnecessary burdens on the courts. DOT and several advocacy groups supported the measure, and one individual testified in support of lowering the BAC limit to 0.05. The committee adopted extensive amendments, including deleting several sections, revising revocation language for refusals to test, and deferring the effective date to July 1, 3000, then passed the bill with amendments.
In the later resolution hearing, the committee heard measures on Maui road projects, the Kulani Hako Bridge replacement, enforcement against improperly registered out-of-state vehicles, a proposed extension of the Skyline rail to West Oahu, a proposal to transfer airport regulatory authority to DOT, a golf-ball safety resolution, and a restricted parking pilot program in West Oahu neighborhoods. Testimony was generally supportive on the Maui road, bridge, vehicle-registration, and golf-ball measures, while DOT opposed the airport-corporation task force resolution and several groups offered mixed views, including calls for public-sector union representation if a task force were created. The committee also heard support and concern on the Skyline extension resolution, with members noting the need for transit options that better serve West Oahu. At the end of the meeting, the committee adopted the resolutions it took up in decision-making, including the Maui road measures, the bridge resolution, the vehicle-registration resolution, and the Skyline-related resolution, with the airport-corporation and parking-zone measures also heard before adjournment.
