Summary: The Senate Committee on Transportation met and considered several bills, beginning with CS/SB 86 on commercial motor vehicles operated by unauthorized aliens. The sponsor described the bill as a highway safety measure requiring commercial drivers to be lawfully present, hold a valid CDL, read English, and communicate with law enforcement, with vehicle impoundment, civil penalties, and out-of-service orders for violations. After questions about impacts on carriers and interstate operations, the committee adopted an amendment and reported the bill favorably, with one no vote. The committee then heard CS/SB 706, which would preempt naming of major commercial service airports to the state and rename Palm Beach International Airport as Donald J. Trump International Airport. An amendment added FAA approval, trademark authorization, and a flexible implementation period for Palm Beach County; county representatives supported the amendment and bill. The committee also approved CS/SB 1670 on the Outsider specialty license plate after an amendment reduced the Huber Brothers Foundation’s share of proceeds from 25% to 10%. Next, the committee considered CS/SB 1054, dealing with traffic infractions resulting in crashes with another vehicle. The bill would impose escalating fines and license suspensions for crashes caused by running red lights or stop signs, and require bodily injury insurance for a year when injury results. A clarifying amendment limited the insurance requirement to one year, and the bill was reported favorably after supportive testimony from law enforcement and advocacy groups. The final major bill was CS/SB 422 on automated dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) data; it would bar use of ADS-B information to calculate or collect certain landing-related fees. Supporters argued the technology should remain focused on aviation safety and warned against false invoices and discouraging pilot training, while airport representatives said they currently use the data for fee collection and wanted further discussion. After an amendment narrowing the bill’s application, the committee reported CS/SB 422 favorably. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary: The House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee heard several public hearings on bills and a joint memorial. SB 5838 would add tribal representation to the Board of Natural Resources; the staff explained the bill would add two tribal members, one from each side of the Cascades, and the sponsor said it would strengthen stewardship and partnership without changing government-to-government consultation. Tribal leaders from the Colville, Yakama, and Quinault nations and DNR supported the bill, while county representatives and a policy group raised concerns about fiduciary duties to trust beneficiaries, lack of consultation with counties, and possible changes to board decision-making. Public testimony on the bill was mixed, with the sign-in record showing more support than opposition. SB 5816 would add juice grapes to the state Agricultural Marketing and Fair Practices Act, allowing juice grape producers to use the same negotiated marketing framework already available to pear, sweet corn, and potato growers. The sponsor said the bill would help juice grape growers get fairer prices from processors, and there was little discussion beyond that. SJM 8015 urged Congress to ensure federal wildfire response agencies have enough capacity to protect communities, watersheds, and firefighter safety during the federal consolidation of wildland fire programs. The sponsor and multiple testifiers from conservation, industry, labor, and fire-related groups supported the memorial, emphasizing wildfire risk, smoke impacts, and the need for strong federal-state coordination. The committee also heard HB 2737, which would cap shellfish regulatory fees, exempt the program from full fee-supported status, and make the caps retroactive. The sponsor and shellfish growers said Department of Health fee increases were too steep and could force small businesses out, while DOH explained it was required to move toward full cost recovery absent legislative general-fund support and that the program’s public-health role justified the fees. The agency said it had reopened rulemaking to reconsider fee categories, and growers described large projected increases that would threaten family businesses. The chair noted HB 2737 could not advance because policy cutoff had passed, but the hearing was held for public discussion. The committee also briefly heard SB 5919, which would encourage voluntary wildfire-mitigation incentives between fire districts and insurers; the sponsor said it would help rural landowners and fire districts work together, and the bill was described as optional and additive. No votes were taken on the bills in this transcript, and the chair announced the committee would adjourn after reminding members to work on possible amendments before the executive session next week.

Summary: The House Committee on Transportation met on April 22, 2026, with a quorum present and heard several transportation-related bills, many involving license plates, toll exemptions, and administrative changes. The committee first advanced HB 988 by Rep. Bagley, which changes the fee distribution for current and retired legislators’ special prestige license plates so the proceeds support repairs at the Pentagon/first LSU building rather than going to the state. It then heard HB 1001 by Rep. Marcel, designating a portion of U.S. Highway 190 as the Jesse Jackson Memorial Highway; the bill was supported with remarks honoring Jackson’s civil rights legacy, and the committee observed a moment of silence before reporting it favorably without objection. The committee next considered HB 989 by Rep. Boyer, which updates and clarifies fees charged by public license tag agents. Rep. Phelps offered an amendment to exempt Shreveport from the fee increase, but it failed on a roll call vote, and the bill was then reported favorably by a 13-2 vote. HB 1192, also by Rep. Boyer, creating a Louisiana Dental Hygienist Association specialty license plate, was amended to remove a restriction limiting issuance to association members and then passed favorably without objection. HB 1032 by Rep. Wiley, which clarifies the substances referenced in DUI-related motor vehicle statutes, received technical amendments and was reported favorably without objection. The committee also advanced HB 748 by Rep. Brough, exempting Louisiana school board-owned and leased vehicles from tolls on bridges and highways, including the Bell Chasse toll bridge area, after testimony from Plaquemines Parish school officials and the district attorney describing toll costs and operational burdens; the bill was amended to include leased vehicles and then reported favorably without objection. HB 1108 by Rep. Omade creating a homeschool pride specialty plate was also reported favorably without objection after discussion of the plate design and proceeds going to Homeschool Louisiana. Finally, HB 1081 by Chairman Wright, restructuring the Louisiana Ports and Waterways Investment Commission under the Office of Multimodal Commerce and DOTD for administrative support, was amended at the request of the Governor’s Office and reported favorably without objection. The committee adjourned after completing its agenda.

Representative Townley then presented SB 269, which would prohibit taking migratory birds through baiting and align Oklahoma law with federal law.

Townley also presented SB 2095, which sets fees and fines for hunting guides, with higher fees for nonresidents and a licensing exemption for certain helpers. He said the bill was intended to protect landowners and hunters and support Oklahoma’s reputation as a hunting destination. Members asked about the scope and fee amounts, and were told the fees would be $1,000 for residents and $2,000 for nonresidents. The committee voted 6-0 to do pass. The chair then noted this would likely be the final meeting of the year.
