Committee:
House General Laws
Summary:
The House Committee on General Laws met with a quorum and first took up executive session on Senate Substitute No. 3 for Senate Bill 1062. The committee adopted two House amendments: one that renamed and reframed the bill as the “Inspiration Act” and added a task force, and another that removed a $300,000 cap on grants for blind and deaf services so additional funds could be sought. The amendments were rolled into a House Committee substitute, which the committee then voted do pass by a roll call of 12 ayes and 2 noes.
The committee then held a public hearing on Senate Bill 1119, the Convention of States implementing legislation. Senator Curtis Trent explained that the bill would establish neutral procedures and guardrails for selecting and controlling Missouri’s delegates if a convention of states is called, including qualifications, selection by legislative leaders, and recall procedures. Supporters said the bill would let Missouri prepare in advance and ensure the state’s delegation stays within the scope of the convention call.
Public testimony included support from a volunteer with Convention of States Missouri and the state director for Convention of States Action, both of whom described the bill as a way to organize delegate selection and oversight. One witness opposed the bill, arguing that delegates should be elected directly by voters rather than appointed by the General Assembly. No committee vote was taken on SB 1119, and the hearing concluded with adjournment.

Senate State Affairs
Summary:
The committee heard several print hearings and one bill hearing. Senator Nichols presented RS 33432, which would update Idaho’s contract requirements for state-supported veterinary school slots beginning with the 2027 class, requiring graduates to practice in Idaho with a focus on mixed agricultural animal medicine and at least 600 hours per year serving agricultural animals. She said it aligns veterinary obligations with existing WHAMI requirements, strengthens Idaho’s return on investment, and has no additional cost. The committee asked about current hour requirements and learned there is no existing veterinary hour requirement; the motion to introduce RS 33432 passed unanimously.
Senator Adams presented RS 33440, a resolution urging Congress to exercise its war powers before deploying the Idaho National Guard into conflict, citing prior deployments and the 2001 AUMF. Members praised his effort, and the committee voted to introduce the RS. Senator Ruchti then presented RS 33426, which would create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency kiosks or Bitcoin ATMs to reduce fraud, money laundering, and scams, especially against seniors and vulnerable Idahoans. He cited rising losses from crypto scams and said the proposal was developed with stakeholder input; the committee voted to introduce that RS as well.
The committee then heard Senate Bill 1297, the Conversational AI Safety Act, from Senator Taves. The bill would require AI chat services to disclose when users are interacting with AI, adopt protocols for suicidal ideation, restrict sexually explicit content and gamification for minors, provide parental tools, and create civil penalties and injunction enforcement without a private right of action. Google testified in support, saying it already uses similar safety-by-design measures and that the bill would set a consistent industry floor. After discussion, the committee voted to send SB 1297 to the floor with a do pass recommendation, and the meeting adjourned.

Summary:
The Assembly Labor and Employment Committee heard several workplace-related bills. AB 1803 would require anti-hate speech training as part of existing harassment prevention training for employers with five or more employees; supporters said it would help workers recognize and report workplace hate, while opponents raised First Amendment and definitional concerns. The bill passed on a do pass motion and was re-referred to Judiciary, with the roll left open for absent members. AB 1940 would add perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause to FEHA’s sex protections and clarify related workplace protections; supporters emphasized workplace equity and retention, while business groups said existing accommodation laws already cover many issues and raised concerns about expanding protected classifications. It also passed and was re-referred to Judiciary with the roll open. AB 1838 would require bidders on public works projects to disclose recent wage-and-hour violations and how they were addressed; labor groups supported the transparency measure, while contractors and business groups questioned definitions and disclosure scope. It passed and was re-referred to Judiciary. AB 1859 would give joint labor-management committees access to public works job sites to help identify labor-law violations; supporters said it would improve enforcement of wage theft laws, while opponents raised due process, property access, and constitutional concerns. It passed and was re-referred to Judiciary.
The committee also considered two workplace AI and surveillance bills. AB 1883 would prohibit certain invasive surveillance technologies in the workplace, including facial, gait, and emotion recognition, while placing limits on some facial recognition uses; supporters argued these tools are discriminatory and unreliable, and opponents said a ban was too broad and could eliminate useful safety and operational tools. The bill passed and was re-referred to Privacy and Consumer Protection. AB 1898 would require employers to give workers advance notice before using AI tools to surveil or manage workers, including disclosure of the tool’s purpose, data collected, and affected decisions; supporters framed it as a basic transparency measure, while opponents objected to the breadth of notice requirements, possible veto power over deployment, and enforcement language. It also passed and was re-referred to Privacy and Consumer Protection. The committee additionally took up AB 1707, which passed and was re-referred to Appropriations with a consent-calendar recommendation, though the transcript does not provide the bill’s subject matter.

Summary:
The committee first took up House Bill 3111, which concerns bail bonds oversight. Representative Phelps offered a committee substitute that moved bail bondsmen into the existing Board of Private Investigators, Private Fire Investigators, and Professional Surety Bail Bonds to avoid a fiscal note. An amendment was adopted to remove fee caps in the substitute, and the committee then adopted the revised substitute and voted it do pass 21-0.
The committee then heard Senate Substitute No. 2 for Senate Bill 1233, the CPA licensure bill, along with related provisions for social work supervisors and speech pathologists. Senator Trent and supporters from the Missouri Society of CPAs, the speech-language association, the social work community, and the State Auditor’s Office said the bill would address CPA shortages by creating a new licensure path based more on experience, while preserving exam standards and adding reciprocity. No opposition was offered, and the hearing concluded without a vote.
House Bill 2999 on optometry scope of practice drew extensive testimony and debate. The sponsor and ophthalmology witnesses described the bill as a negotiated compromise that would codify specific procedures optometrists may perform, while opponents from optometry argued it would freeze scope in statute, limit modernization, and require repeated legislative action as standards change. Witnesses disagreed sharply over whether the bill improved patient safety and access, whether the procedures were already within current practice, and whether surgical procedures such as lasers should be included. The bill was heard but no committee action was taken in the transcript.
Finally, the committee heard House Bill 2957 on respiratory therapist licensure. Representative Castile and respiratory care witnesses said the bill would phase out the CRT as the entry credential for new applicants in favor of the higher RRT standard, while grandfathering current CRTs and adding renewal audits to confirm active credentials. Supporters said the change reflects current training standards and would raise patient-care quality without reducing workforce numbers. No opposition testimony was presented, and the hearing adjourned without a vote.

Summary:
The committee first took up SB 1114, which would appropriate $1 million to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office to investigate patient brokering in behavioral health and substance abuse treatment. Sponsor Sen. Werner described patient brokering as a continuing abuse tied to the state’s Medicaid fraud crisis, especially affecting Native Americans, and said the county attorney had the capacity to handle statewide oversight. The bill was moved and received a do pass recommendation on a 9-0-1 vote.
The committee then considered SB 1111, as amended by a strike-everything amendment, to create statewide rules for automated license plate readers. Supporters from law enforcement said ALPRs are important for investigations, missing persons, stolen vehicles, and violent crimes, and argued the bill adds needed guardrails and training requirements. Opponents, including the ACLU, Institute for Justice, and private citizens, warned the systems enable mass surveillance, can be inaccurate, and raise Fourth Amendment and privacy concerns; they also objected to broad terms like “legitimate” law enforcement purposes and the lack of a clear retention limit. The committee adopted the amendment and then gave SB 1111, as amended, a do pass recommendation by a 7-2-1 vote.
Next, SB 1116, as amended, was heard to require behavioral health claim denials and appeals at AHCCCS to be reviewed by someone with relevant clinical experience. Sen. Werner said the bill responds to improper denials and appeals handled by staff without behavioral health expertise; AHCCCS was neutral but said the bill could create compliance and staffing issues because “relevant clinical experience” is not well defined. The committee adopted the amendment and passed the bill 10-0. SB 1122, also as amended, would bar AHCCCS from requiring prior authorization or 100% prepayment review for certain behavioral health services under the American Indian Health Plan unless a provider is on a corrective action plan; Werner said it was aimed at ensuring providers are paid and reducing patient brokering. The committee adopted the amendment and passed SB 1122 10-0.
Finally, the committee heard SB 1072, which would appropriate ongoing state and Medicaid funds to DES for rate increases for home- and community-based services and room-and-board services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with reporting on workforce outcomes. Supporters from APAD and providers said the direct care workforce is in crisis, with large numbers of vacancies, overtime costs, and unassigned authorizations, and argued the funding is needed to retain staff and maintain care. Members discussed wage disparities, whether funds would reach caregivers, and the limits of legislative control over private provider pay, but no vote on SB 1072 was reached before the transcript ended.

Summary:
The House met with several welcoming and ceremonial items at the start, including recognition of visiting school groups and a special order to escort Representative-elect Hannah L. Bowen to the Governor’s Office to be qualified. Members also observed moments of silence honoring former Senator Louis P. Bertinazzi and former Representative Evelyn B. Chesky, and the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s notice of the 6th Essex District special election results was placed on file, with congratulations extended to Representative Owen of Beverly.
The main business was consideration of House 4150, a fiscal year 2025 supplemental appropriations bill totaling about $529.8 million. The House suspended rules, advanced the bill through second and third reading, and later passed it to be engrossed. A consolidated amendment was adopted by a vote of 149-1, and the bill itself passed to be engrossed by 149-1. The House also took up Senate 2508, establishing a sick leave bank for Andrew Cetra of the trial court, and ordered it to a third reading.
Two floor amendments drew debate and were adopted by roll call. Amendment 61, offered by Representatives Peisch and Moran, codified protections and practices for English language learners and students with disabilities, including district responsibilities for identification, services, assessments, and nondiscrimination; it passed 148-1. Amendment 27, offered by Representative Rogers, clarified that post-certified law enforcement officers at private colleges and universities are included in firearms-related exemptions under the state’s firearms modernization law; it passed 151-0. The House then adopted an order to meet the next day at 11 a.m. and adjourned in memory of Representative Chesky.

Summary:
The House Health and Welfare Committee first briefly took up RS 33-691, a proposal related to the SNAP soda and candy restrictions passed the prior year. Sponsor Rep. Jordan Redman said the measure would refine the earlier law so more nutritious foods remain eligible while still excluding traditional soda and candy. The committee moved to introduce the RS and the motion carried.
The committee then heard House Bill 818, sponsored by Rep. Brooke Green, which would require insurance coverage for fertility preservation for cancer patients facing treatment-related infertility. Green, Dr. Rihanna Menon, and Dr. Kristen Slater testified that cancer treatment can quickly threaten fertility, that decisions must often be made within days, and that the procedures can cost thousands of dollars up front. They described the bill as medically necessary, time-sensitive, and especially important for younger patients, including those with breast cancer, leukemia, and testicular cancer. Several patients and survivors also testified about their own experiences, emphasizing the emotional strain, the short decision window, and the financial burden when insurance did not cover the treatment.
An insurance representative, Norm Varian of PacificSource, explained that the bill would create a new mandated benefit for non-self-funded plans and could trigger state reimbursement under federal benefit-deferral rules, with a fiscal note attached. Some members raised concerns about whether the bill should be limited to cancer patients when other conditions also cause infertility, while others supported the measure as a pro-family, pro-life policy. Rep. Green said she would refine the bill and return it next year, and the committee voted to hold House Bill 818 in committee.

Summary:
The committee first approved the minutes from February 12, 16, and 17, 2026. It then heard House Bill 593, a Department of Environmental Quality cleanup bill tied to the DOGE Task Force review. Senator Semmelroth explained that the bill removes obsolete references and repeals outdated provisions related to the state hazardous waste management planning committee and the Big Payette Lake Water Quality Act council. After brief support from a Republic Services representative and DEQ’s hazardous waste bureau chief, the committee voted to send HB 593 to the floor with a do pass recommendation.
Next, the committee heard House Bill 714, which repeals the Hazardous Waste Siting Act and consolidates hazardous waste siting provisions into the Hazardous Waste Management Act. Senator Burkey said the bill streamlines Idaho’s hazardous waste laws while preserving safety, public notice, hearings, and expert review. Republic Services and DEQ testified in support, describing the measure as protective, efficient, and the product of stakeholder review. The committee then voted to send HB 714 to the floor with a do pass recommendation.
The committee also considered House Bill 788, a pilot program intended to reduce Medicaid prior authorization burdens for certain medical professionals who precept medical students in high-need specialties. Representative Wheeler said the goal is to increase preceptorships by giving eligible providers a temporary “gold card” exemption, and he asked for a sunset date of July 1, 2030. The Idaho Freedom Foundation testified in opposition, arguing prior authorization is a cost-control tool and that the bill could raise Medicaid costs. The committee voted to send HB 788 to amending orders, with several senators recorded as no.
Finally, the committee heard House Bill 724, which would establish foster child safety rights, require written notice of those rights, and direct courts and the Department of Health and Welfare to consider safety in placement and visitation decisions. Representative Wheeler said the bill responds to concerns from foster parents and aims to ensure children in state custody have clear protections. Multiple foster parents, a child psychologist, and a former foster youth testified in support, describing serious safety failures and arguing that children need clearer rights and more complete information before reunification or placement decisions. The committee voted to send HB 724 to the floor with a do pass recommendation, and the meeting adjourned.
