Summary: The committee heard several AI- and consumer-protection-related bills, with extensive testimony from authors, supporters, and industry opponents. SB 53 by Senator Wiener would create transparency requirements for large AI developers, including disclosure of safety and security protocols, reporting of critical safety incidents, whistleblower protections, and the CalCompute public cloud. Supporters said it is a narrower, transparency-based follow-up to last year’s vetoed AI safety bill, while opponents argued it still relies too much on company size, could expose trade secrets, and should be narrowed further. The committee approved SB 53 on a do-pass-as-amended vote to Appropriations, with the roll held open for absent members. SB 766 by Senator Allen would codify the FTC’s Cars Rule and create a three-day cooling-off period for certain used-car purchases, along with stronger disclosure rules on pricing, add-ons, and government affiliation claims. Supporters said it would save consumers money and time and help buyers avoid bad deals, while dealer and industry groups said amendments addressed many of their concerns. Several former opponents moved to neutral, and the committee passed SB 766 unanimously as amended to Appropriations. SB 7 by Senator McNerney would regulate automated decision-making systems in employment by requiring notice, human review for discipline and termination, and limits on predictive behavior analysis. Labor and consumer advocates supported the bill as a safeguard against biased or overly automated workplace decisions, while employer and industry groups raised concerns about scope, notice burdens, and the predictive-analysis ban. The committee passed SB 7 to Appropriations on a 4-2 vote, with the roll held open. SB 833, also by Senator McNerney, would require human oversight of AI used in critical infrastructure, along with training and system assessments; it drew limited opposition focused on scope, and the committee passed it as amended to Appropriations on a 5-0 vote, also holding the roll open. Later, the committee took up SB 11, which would address AI-generated voice, image, and video cloning and deepfakes by clarifying likeness protections, requiring consumer warnings, and addressing misuse and evidence tampering. Supporters framed it as a targeted response to nonconsensual deepfakes, while industry groups said recent amendments improved the bill but still had concerns about penalties and warning language. The committee also heard SB 720, the Safer Streets Act, which would let cities opt into a revised red-light camera system that shifts from driver to owner liability, removes facial identification, makes violations civil rather than criminal, and directs revenue toward transportation safety projects; the author presented the bill, but the transcript ends before any final action on SB 720.

Summary: The House began by noting the absence of a quorum and then established one by vote. The chamber then took up House Committee Substitute for House Bill 1788, which was described as a campaign finance measure responding to a reported case of deceptive recurring political donations. The sponsor said the bill requires affirmative opt-in consent for recurring contributions, clear receipt and cancellation information, and that recurring donations tied to elections end at the election unless they are ongoing party contributions. Members discussed a House Amendment 1 that was characterized as cleanup language from the Missouri Ethics Commission and not a substantive change. Several members asked about how the bill would affect recurring donations to political parties versus issue-based campaigns, and the sponsor said party donations would not be affected by election timing, while election-related solicitations would end at the election. The amendment was adopted, and members then spoke in support of the bill as a consumer-protection and transparency measure. The House adopted the committee substitute as amended and ordered it perfected and printed. After the bill action, the House moved to announcements, including a Bible study invitation, a reminder to wear red for Heart Month, a Future Caucus AI meeting, and a Special Committee on Rural Issues meeting. The House then adjourned until 10 a.m. Thursday, February 5, 2026, and members were told to be prepared to consider House Committee Substitute for House Bills 1667 and 2294 upon return.

Summary: The Senate Education Committee considered a long agenda of education-related bills, including school calendar changes, scholarship and tax credit cleanup, charter school facilities, apprenticeship expansion, testing windows, and teacher staffing rules. Several measures were framed as technical or clarifying changes, while others drew more substantial debate over accountability, eligibility, and funding. The committee also heard a bill to extend the sunset of the Oklahoma Advisory Council on Indian Education and another to allow certain military dependents to start kindergarten based on their home-country age rules. Among the more debated bills, House Bill 3590 updated the Opportunity Scholarship Fund Act by changing reporting and income-verification language; senators questioned whether the bill effectively expanded eligibility or added accountability, but the author said it was a cleanup measure and the title was struck before passage. House Bill 3151 would raise the minimum school year from 166 to 173 days beginning in 2027-28, contingent on an additional $175 million in common education funding; supporters argued Oklahoma students need more time in front of teachers, while opponents questioned the evidence and fiscal impact. House Bill 4359 moved statewide assessments to the last four weeks of the school year, with an amendment changing the window from three to four weeks, and House Bill 4427, as amended, continued limits on adjunct teachers in early grades while clarifying qualifications and timelines for existing adjuncts. The committee also advanced House Bill 2398, which would create “credentials of value” to help students and families evaluate postsecondary programs based on workforce demand and economic return, and House Bill 3372, which would create a charter school facilities fund and loan/collateral mechanisms; the latter passed on a narrower vote after questions about asset disposition and state control. Other bills passed with little or no opposition, including a 24-hour reporting requirement for school abuse to outside law enforcement, an expansion of youth apprenticeship eligibility, adoption-related maternity leave, and a pilot for teacher growth metrics and NBCT funding. Most measures were reported out favorably, with several title-stricken amendments adopted along the way.

Summary: The House began by noting the absence of a quorum and then establishing one by roll call. The chamber then took up House Bill 1788, with the sponsor moving the bill be perfected and printed and moving adoption of a House Committee Substitute and its title. The bill was described as a campaign finance measure prompted by reports of deceptive recurring donation solicitations during a prior governor’s race, including a case involving a Nebraska veteran who unknowingly continued making contributions. The core of HB 1788 requires affirmative opt-in consent for recurring political donations, rather than an opt-out checkbox, and requires clear cancellation information and receipts. A House Amendment was adopted after the sponsor explained it was mostly language cleanup requested by the Missouri Ethics Commission and did not change the bill’s substance. Members from Clay and Boone Counties asked about how the bill would apply to political parties versus issue-based fundraising, and the sponsor said recurring gifts to parties could continue because there is no election end date, while recurring solicitations tied to a candidate or specific ballot issue would end when the election concludes. Supporters argued the bill would protect donors from deceptive practices and align campaign finance rules with broader consent standards used in privacy and finance. After discussion, the House adopted the committee substitute as amended and ordered it perfected and printed. The remainder of the session consisted of announcements, including a Bible study invitation, Wear Red Day, a Future Caucus AI meeting, and a meeting notice for the Special Committee on Rural Issues, before the House adjourned until February 5, 2026.

Summary: The committee heard and advanced a large number of health-related bills, with much of the agenda focused on pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) regulation, Medicaid administration, and health-system cleanup measures. Bills passed included HB 1344 on insulin affordability and state support for low-cost biosimilar insulin manufacturing; HB 1380 requiring the Health Care Authority to check death records to disenroll deceased Medicaid recipients; SB 2007 and SB 2074, both PBM-related measures addressing pharmacist reimbursement, dispensing fees, appeals, and penalties; SB 1572 creating a feasibility study on reorganizing the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and temporarily allowing the Health Commissioner to serve in a dual role; and SB 1555 updating the definition of intellectual disability to match the federal definition. Members also approved several bills eliminating or repealing outdated councils and programs, including SB 1423 ending the Hospital Advisory Council, SB 1425 repealing the Health Care Workers and Educators’ Assistance Program and Health Care Workforce Resources Center, and SB 1502 eliminating the Alzheimer Dementia Disclosure Act Advisory Council. Other measures passed included SB 1561 changing EMS discipline to a progressive system, SB 244 and SB 667 making chiropractic language and training cleanup changes, SB 1749 on LP gas inspections for food trailers, SB 1484 requiring more detailed medical information for infant and child death investigations, SB 1562 clarifying hospice patient protections, and SB 1644 creating reporting related to alpha-gal to support possible research funding. The most debated bill was SB 1503, which would expand the Choosing Childbirth Act so nonprofits without an Oklahoma physical address could receive grants to connect women seeking abortions with pregnancy resources. Members questioned whether grant dollars and salaries would stay in Oklahoma, whether reporting and accountability would be sufficient, and whether Oklahoma-based providers could do the work instead. The bill passed 5-2 after the sponsor said he was open to amendments and oversight. SB 1833, codifying a SNAP waiver restricting candy and soft drink purchases, and SB 904, modifying the use of certain state funds and facilities for medical procedures, also drew questions and passed on divided votes. The meeting ended after all listed bills were heard and voted on, with most measures passing unanimously or by wide margins.

Summary: The House Government, Elections and Indian Affairs Committee met and first heard House Bill 30, which would update New Mexico’s teacher residency program. The sponsor and supporters said the bill would raise and index residency stipends to a percentage of a level-one teacher salary, better align pay with teacher compensation over time, and loosen post-residency service rules so residents could teach anywhere in New Mexico rather than being tied to one district. Testimony from educators, school boards, unions, and teacher-preparation groups emphasized that year-long residencies improve classroom readiness, help recruit career changers and special education teachers, and increase retention, especially in rural areas. Members asked about the stipend calculation and funding impacts; the bill was described as using existing grow funding and possibly requiring tradeoffs in future years. The committee approved HB 30 on a do-pass vote. The committee then considered House Bill 43, a PERA cleanup bill. PERA staff explained that the measure makes technical corrections, resolves ambiguities, and aligns the statute with current administrative practice without making major policy changes. Supporters from AFSCME and the Educational Retirement Board said the bill would help administer retirement benefits more clearly, reduce litigation risk, and improve reciprocity for members with both PERA and ERB service credit. Committee questions focused on liability for overpayments, disability-retiree earnings limits, and survivor benefits for volunteer firefighters; staff said the changes were intended to broaden and modernize the language and mirror other retirement plans. HB 43 also received a do-pass recommendation. Finally, the committee heard House Bill 255, which would consolidate separate public safety workforce funding streams into a single nonreverting public safety workforce capacity building fund. The sponsor and Department of Finance and Administration witnesses said the new fund would create a more durable, flexible way to support recruitment, retention, relocation assistance, training, equipment, and other workforce needs for police, corrections, firefighters, and related public safety personnel. Supporters from the State Police, counties, labor, and the Greater Albuquerque Chamber said vacancies and short staffing are severe and that a stable grant program would help fill positions and improve public safety and economic stability. After brief questions about the fund structure and uses, the committee passed HB 255 on a do-pass vote.

Summary: The Senate Health and Welfare Committee considered several RS drafts for introduction. RS 331-128, brought by Sen. Kelly Anthon, would amend Idaho law so chiropractors can prescribe certain vitamins, minerals, and fluids they are already authorized to administer, allowing them to purchase those items from pharmacies or distributors; it was moved to print. RS 33023, introduced by Sen. Mark Harris, would amend involuntary commitment law to include tribal health care facilities as acceptable holding sites and tribal police officers as peace officers for initial mental health crisis evaluations; it was also moved to print without opposition. RS 32893, introduced by Sen. Carl Birke, was described as a code cleanup bill removing outdated language from the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired statutes; the committee voted to print it. RS 32994, brought by Sen. Melissa Wintrow, would codify child visitation protections in cases of substantiated physical or sexual abuse and clarify that courts may consider a parent’s incarceration when termination of parental rights is sought; after a question about judicial feedback, it was moved to print and approved. The committee also heard RS 33184 from Sen. Julie Van Orden, which would establish the Idaho Rural Health Transformation Program and a legislative oversight committee to monitor use of anticipated federal rural health funds, including recommendations on subgrants and spending. Van Orden said the committee would ensure legislative oversight of how the money is distributed, with rural representation built into the membership. A senator asked whether this was the same as a governor-led task force referenced in budget language; Van Orden clarified that the bill creates a separate legislative oversight body, distinct from the governor’s application-related committee. The motion to introduce and print RS 33184 passed on a voice vote with one nay. The committee then adjourned, noting no meeting the next day, a Thursday meeting, and an upcoming hearing on the Department of Health and Welfare budget and programs.
