Summary: The House convened with quorum, offered an invocation and pledges, and then moved through a series of memorials, recognitions, and announcements. House Memorial 49, declaring February 4, 2026 UNM Day, was taken from the Speaker’s table, explained, and debated at length. Members from both parties and several guests praised the University of New Mexico for its role in education, health care, research, public service, and workforce development, with special recognition of President Garnett Stokes, interim provost Barbara Rodriguez, and Health Sciences leaders and students. The memorial highlighted UNM’s enrollment, degrees awarded, scholarship support, patent activity, and the UNM Hospital and Health Sciences Center. It passed 70-0. House Memorial 48, declaring February 4, 2026 Valencia County Day, was also brought forward and passed unanimously. Supporters described Valencia County’s history, culture, economic growth, and traditions, including the annual matanza, Route 66 heritage, and major employers and development projects. Members from the county and local officials were recognized, and the memorial emphasized both historic communities and current business and infrastructure expansion. House Memorial 50, declaring Lincoln County Day, was introduced by title and placed on the Speaker’s table, but not taken up for final passage during this segment. The chamber also recognized the Artesia Bulldogs football team for winning another state championship, Del Norte High School’s class of 1966 on its 60th anniversary, and a number of guests tied to nursing, education, and local community service. Several members used announcements to highlight nurses, school programs, and local events, including a Legislative Sportsman’s Caucus invitation and a reminder that the day was the final day to file bills with the clerk. The session closed with continued announcements and guest introductions, reflecting a day focused heavily on community recognition and celebratory memorials rather than substantive legislation beyond the memorial votes.

Military and Veterans Affairs, Space, and Domestic Security

Bills: S1512, S1602, S1604, S1656
Summary: The Committee on Military Veterans Affairs, Space, and Domestic Security met with a quorum and considered several memorials and bills. It first passed Senate Memorial 1714, urging Congress to support the “No Tax Dollars for Terrorist Acts” measure to prevent U.S. funds from benefiting the Taliban in Afghanistan. The committee then favorably reported SB 1512, which expands tax exemptions and procurement flexibility for Space Florida, and SB 1656, which designates the SS American Victory as Florida’s official state flagship in place of the Western Union. The committee also favorably reported SM 1186, which urges Congress to increase the Florida National Guard’s force structure, with supporters citing Florida’s large population and disaster response needs. Senator Sharif voiced support for the effort. Next, the committee took up SB 1602, creating a Homes for Veterans Property Management Incentive Pilot Program in selected counties to help landlords house veterans through vacancy relief and risk mitigation funds; two amendments were adopted, and the bill was reported favorably as committee substitute. SB 1604, which creates the associated trust funds within the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, also received one technical amendment and was reported favorably as committee substitute. Throughout the meeting, several measures drew supportive testimony or comments, including representatives from Space Florida and the Florida Chamber on SB 1512 and a supporter on SB 1602. Multiple members offered to co-sponsor or support veterans-related measures. No bills were opposed in debate, all amendments were adopted without objection, and each item was reported favorably before the committee adjourned.

Education

Bills: HB1404
Summary: The Senate Education Committee met with six members present and first took up House Bill 1404, which would update North Dakota scholarship eligibility language by allowing the NDA Plus assessment to be used in place of ACT scores in certain pathways. The Department of Public Instruction explained that the bill does not eliminate the ACT entirely, but removes outdated references tied to ACT accountability testing that will no longer apply after this year’s seniors graduate. Members discussed how the change affects public and nonpublic schools, then voted 6-0 to give HB 1404 a do pass recommendation. The committee then returned to House Bill 1363, a bill dealing with school emergency response planning and automatic external defibrillators. Members adopted an amendment clarifying that the requirements apply to school-owned facilities and grounds, replacing language about school events and venues, and revising the planning language for school-based events not held on school-owned property. The committee also debated whether the bill should be mandatory or permissive; a motion to change “shall” to “may” failed, with members noting the bill’s liability protections. The committee then voted 5-1 to pass HB 1363 as amended, with Senator Gerhardt carrying the bill. Before recessing, the chair noted that House Bill 1533 would be taken up later in the day after additional information from DPI was received.

Consumer Protection & Business

Transcript Highlights:
  • I met with the travel insurance industry over the summer, and all stakeholders were involved in this.
  • that is being utilized by data brokers, and um... ...so I guess ultimately the view of this whole industry
Summary: The Consumer Protection and Business Committee met on February 4, 2026, and did not hold public hearings. House Bill 2629 was removed from consideration and not advanced. The committee was briefed on House Bill 2428, which would require insurers to give 30 days’ written notice before an individual life insurance policy lapses for nonpayment and to notify applicants of the right to designate a third party for lapse notices; the committee adopted Representative Ryu’s amendment clarifying the notice applies to nonpayment lapses, adjusting proof-of-delivery language, and adding a January 1, 2027 effective date. The committee also considered House Bill 2399, which would prohibit assignment of post-loss property insurance benefits. Supporters described it as a way to curb predatory assignments that transfer policyholder rights to contractors, while opponents argued it can help homeowners get repairs completed and return home, especially after flooding or other losses. The bill was reported out on a narrow 8-7 vote, with members noting the issue may need further work. House Bill 2087, creating the Washington Travel Insurance Act, was also advanced after a proposed substitute made changes to conflict-of-law language, attorney exclusions, child support-related license suspension, supervision liability, and rate-setting provisions; it passed 12-3. The committee then took up House Bill 2483 on data brokers and a public registry. Members adopted three amendments: one narrowing exemptions for entities with customer or business relationships, one delaying penalties until notice of noncompliance and making the registry public, and one exempting publicly available or already published information. Supporters said the bill would make hidden data practices visible and improve transparency, while opponents warned it was still too broad and could sweep in retailers, public entities, or other unintended actors. The amended bill passed 8-7. Finally, House Bill 2477, with an amendment limiting appraiser liability to clients and named intended users and clarifying appraisal reports, was unanimously reported out of committee. The committee then adjourned after thanking staff on cutoff day.
