Summary:
The Senate Standing Committee on Licensing and Occupations met on March 4, 2025, with a quorum present and several members absent or marked not voting during roll calls. The committee first heard Senate Bill 133, sponsored by Senator David Yates, which makes a small wording change to clarify sanctioning bodies for boxing and wrestling exhibitions. Yates said the bill is intended to close a legal gap affecting amateur boxing and wrestling clubs, especially those not affiliated with schools, and to ensure charitable and exhibition events remain properly sanctioned and safe for youth participants. The bill received a favorable recommendation after a roll-call vote.
The committee then considered Senate Bill 190, sponsored by Senator Mike Nemes, on charitable gaming. Nemes explained that the bill would allow certain groups to run three bingo sessions per week instead of two and increase volunteer participation limits from four to six times per week; he emphasized that the measure does not involve horses or casinos. The committee approved the bill favorably after a brief question from Senator Berg about why volunteer limits exist.
Finally, the committee took up House Bills 261 and 262, both related to certified public accountants. HB 261 would allow retired CPAs to provide certain uncompensated public or nonprofit services, provided they complete a retirement-based continuing education waiver; members asked for clarification that the authority applies after retirement, not while active. HB 262 would let a CPA firm keep its name when the last remaining owner is left after another owner’s death or retirement, rather than requiring a name change; Senator Meredith asked about protections if an estate objects or if the prior name is associated with misconduct, and the board representative said remedies remain available and there is no time limit on enforcement. Both bills passed with favorable expression, and the committee then adjourned.

How will federal law affect Medicaid in Minnesota? 2/24/26

Summary:
The Department of Human Services briefed the committee on how the federal HR1 law will affect Minnesota Medicaid and related programs. Budget Director Elise Bailey said the 900-page bill makes sweeping changes that will reduce coverage, increase administrative complexity for counties and tribal governments, raise uncompensated care for providers, and reduce federal funding. She reviewed current Medicaid spending and enrollment, emphasizing that the largest impacts will fall on the adult expansion group (adults ages 21-64 without children), which currently receives a 90% federal match.
Bailey walked through several major provisions: work and community engagement requirements for the adult expansion group beginning January 1, 2027; six-month renewals for that same group; shorter retroactive coverage periods; new cost-sharing requirements for expansion enrollees above 100% of poverty; narrower Medicaid eligibility for certain lawful noncitizens; limits on provider taxes and state-directed payments; a reduced federal match for emergency medical assistance; and tighter federal rules on payment error penalties. She said many provisions require state law changes and additional federal guidance, and she cited research from Georgia suggesting work requirements increased administrative burden and caused coverage losses without increasing employment.
The department estimated fiscal effects including reduced Medicaid spending in some areas but higher state costs in others, such as MinnesotaCare, emergency medical assistance, administrative systems, and provider uncompensated care. Bailey said the immigration-status changes would shift some people from Medical Assistance to MinnesotaCare, and that provider-tax and state-directed-payment changes could reduce future funding to hospitals and other providers. No votes or formal committee actions were taken in the portion provided; the presentation was informational and the department indicated it would return with proposed state-law language as needed.

Summary:
The committee heard testimony on HB 1604, which would create an agricultural workforce housing group within the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity to address shortages of farmworker housing. The department said it supported the bill’s intent but emphasized that the group’s early work should focus on gathering data and surveying farm operators to assess actual demand, to avoid “mission creep.” Testimony from the City and County of Honolulu Office of Economic Revitalization, Hawaii Farmers Union, Hawaii Farm Bureau, Housing Hawaii’s Future, and the Maui Chamber of Commerce was in support, with one witness suggesting a housing advocacy nonprofit be added to the working group for balance.
The committee then discussed HB 1713 on school impact fees, which would clarify exemptions for certain affordable housing projects and exempt new residential developments of fewer than 100 units. The Attorney General’s office said the bill should define “low to moderate income households” because that term is not defined in chapter 302A. HHFDC, the School Facilities Authority, Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, and others supported the measure, arguing it would reduce administrative burden and remove barriers to housing. Members questioned whether the bill should instead repeal the school impact fee entirely; supporters said they also favored full repeal but viewed this bill as a more feasible step. The School Facilities Authority also explained that about $28 million in school impact fees had been collected across four districts and none had yet been spent, and discussed how recent nexus requirements limit how the funds can be used.
HB 1722, relating to residential condominiums, drew extensive testimony and questioning. HCDA supported the bill and explained that it amends the 99-year leasehold pilot program created by Act 97 of 2023 by reducing owner-occupancy restrictions from 100% of units to 60%, allowing some rental or subleasing flexibility for the owner-occupied units, and permitting up to 40% of units to be sold to qualified residents after being on the market for more than 60 days. HCDA said the original restrictions, combined with rising construction costs, higher interest rates, and competition from nearby projects, made the pilot project difficult to market and finance; it said the changes are needed to make the project feasible and competitive. Supporters including AP Hawaii, Kila LLC, and project representatives said the amendments would help make the demonstration project in Kakaʻako viable. Some members raised concerns that the changes could weaken long-term affordability and questioned why certain ownership language was being deleted if rentals would still be restricted. No votes or final committee actions were taken in the portion of the hearing provided.
