Summary:
The committee first took up House Bill 216, which Representative Carol Maguire described as a fix to a workers’ compensation/retirement “glitch.” The bill would remove the current limit that only one year of workers’ compensation time can be credited as retirement service time. Maguire argued the limit is arbitrary and affects only a very small number of grievously injured workers, while committee members asked about the fiscal impact, available data, and whether the change could affect workers’ compensation rates or incentives. Mark Kavar of the New Hampshire Retirement System said Labor could not provide data on how many people exceed a year on weekly indemnity benefits, so the fiscal note used a conservative estimate that could be scaled down; he also explained that workers’ comp is not earnable compensation, which is why service credit stops after a year, and noted that many long-term cases move into disability retirement or lump-sum settlements. The committee closed the hearing, entered executive session, and voted ought to pass on HB 216 by a 13-0 roll call, sending it to consent and noting it would also go to Finance.
The committee then acted on House Bill 85, adopting Amendment 0037 and then voting ought to pass as amended by another 13-0 roll call. The bill was described as allowing second-year respiratory therapy students to work under supervision using the skills they have already learned, with support from the Hospital Association and no opposition noted.
Finally, the committee took up House Bill 267, the animal chiropractors bill. Members said the bill had been approved previously but was vetoed because of a defect; the problem has now been corrected, and the bill is intended to reduce delays caused by requiring veterinary referrals before chiropractors can treat animals. The committee voted ought to pass 13-0 and placed the bill on consent.

Summary:
The committee met to hear a series of presentations on advanced nuclear economics, workforce, community impacts, and financing. Nucleon Energy’s William Bridge presented a report estimating the economic impacts of hypothetical 200-megawatt and 600-megawatt SMRs, including construction and operating jobs, local spending, tax revenue, and the private-sector conditions needed to attract investment. He said the report used nth-of-a-kind cost assumptions, discussed security and water siting considerations, and argued that early community engagement and permitting work should be timed to when projects are closer to being economic. Committee members questioned cost assumptions, security staffing, transmission and water siting, and whether large reactors or SMRs are more likely to be financed in the near term.
Lori Brady of the Nuclear Energy Institute then outlined national nuclear workforce needs and NEI’s strategic workforce planning. She described declining labor-force demographics, the need for hundreds of thousands of new energy workers by 2050, and six workforce priorities: career awareness, pipelines, training and qualification, policy support, retention, and non-traditional pipelines. She highlighted the Nuclear Works career website, the Nuclear Energy Academic Roadmap, the new federal Energy and Natural Resources career cluster, and the Nuclear Uniform Curriculum Program for community colleges. Members asked about AI, robotics, and when training should begin relative to future plant construction; Brady said AI is not expected to replace workers broadly and that training timelines depend on the specific project and staffing plan.
Red Wing, Minnesota Mayor Gary Yako described hosting the Prairie Island nuclear generating facility. He said the plant provides a large share of the city’s property tax base, supports well-paid jobs, contributes to local emergency preparedness, and is a strong community partner through donations and employee involvement. He said the city supports relicensing, has regular emergency drills, and has had no issues with dry cask storage. The committee also heard from NEI’s Benton Arnett, who reviewed the current financing landscape, including federal tax credits, DOE loan authority, offtake agreements, and the shift toward project developers and special-purpose vehicles. He said early projects face high first-of-a-kind costs, but federal support and long-term power purchase agreements are helping make projects financeable. Finally, DOE’s Julie Kazeraki described the Office of Energy Dominance Financing and its role in supporting new nuclear, restarts, uprates, and supply chain investments, emphasizing that federal loan and tax-credit tools are intended to reduce upfront risk and improve project affordability.

Summary:
The Senate Commerce Committee approved the March 3 and March 5, 2026 minutes, then heard House Bill 750 as amended on programmable money protections. Rep. Heather Scott described the bill as a consumer protection measure aimed at preventing programmable money from being used to deny transactions based on characteristics such as sex, race, political opinion, medical history, geography, or profession, while still allowing denials for criminal activity. Testimony and questions focused on whether programmable money is already operational, how it differs from ordinary digital payments, and whether the bill would conflict with the Uniform Commercial Code. After debate, the committee voted 5-3 against the motion to send HB 750 to the floor, and the bill was held in committee.
The committee then heard House Bill 585, which would extend the inspection “shot clock” concept to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing inspections. Rep. Josh Wheeler said the bill would let applicants use a private inspector and receive a refund if a local government could not complete an inspection within 48 hours, with private inspectors required to meet the same certification standards as public inspectors. With no opposition testimony, the committee unanimously moved HB 585 to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
House Bill 562, as amended, was next and would increase notice periods for nonrenewal or discontinuation of homeowners and fire loss policies from 30 to 60 days, and for commercial policies from 45 to 60 days. Sen. James Ruchti said the change would give policyholders more time to find replacement coverage amid wildfire-related insurance disruptions. The committee approved HB 562 unanimously and sent it to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
The committee then took up House Bill 545, a contested bill concerning military chaplains and counseling licensure. Supporters, including Rep. Barbara Hart, chaplains Jared Gifford and Robert Morris, and others, argued that military chaplains receive extensive counseling training and should be able to use their experience toward civilian licensure without being required to take the standard national exam, citing Idaho Code provisions that they said already exempt certain military applicants from testing. Opponents, including licensed counselors and chaplain/clinician witnesses, argued that chaplain counseling is not equivalent to clinical mental health counseling, that the bill would lower licensure standards, and that diagnosis and treatment training should remain required. After a failed substitute motion to hold the bill in committee, the committee voted on the original motion to send HB 545 to the floor; that motion also failed on a 4-4 tie, so HB 545 was held in committee.

- The highlights from the 2026 edition are that there's greater national uniformity in labeling.
- And we do have places in code where some specific pests are called out.
- So we have relatively broad authority within this particular part of the code.
- An example of one of those pests that we deal with under this section of code is Japanese beetle.
Summary:
The Senate Agricultural Committee first approved the January 27, 2026 minutes and then reviewed several Idaho State Department of Agriculture rule dockets. Andrea Thompson presented updates to seed production and distribution rules, commercial feed/fertilizer/soil amendment registration and licensing rules, bean planting rules, and invasive species/noxious weed rules. The seed and feed/fertilizer rules mainly updated incorporated-by-reference standards and cleaned up redundant language; the bean rule clarified acceptable tags for edible-harvest planting; and the invasive species rule added golden mussel to the emergency response list while maintaining Snake River quarantine and decontamination measures tied to quagga mussel treatment. Committee members asked about the use of outside standards without fixed publication dates, and agency staff explained that seed standards and related publications are rolling, frequently updated industry standards. The committee said it would vote on the rules on Thursday.
The committee then heard a presentation from Deputy Director Lloyd Knight on Idaho’s authority to respond to pests and invasive species, prompted by concerns about rats. He explained that the Plant Pest Act, invasive species statutes, and noxious weed laws give the department broad tools to address pests such as Japanese beetle, grasshoppers, Mormon crickets, quagga/zebra mussels, and red-eared sliders, but that some issues may also fit county abatement district authority. Senators asked about Mormon cricket response in rural counties, federal land coordination, and whether rats might be better handled through abatement districts; Knight said the department could support whatever framework the legislature chooses, but any state-led response would require funding and clear direction. He also said the department could quickly build GIS-based public reporting tools for rat sightings if requested.
Finally, University of Idaho extension educator Brett Wilder gave an overview of the financial condition of Idaho agriculture. He said agriculture and agribusiness account for a significant share of Idaho’s economy, with livestock performing relatively well while crop producers face major pressure from low prices, high input costs, and weak repayment conditions. He noted record cash receipts overall, but warned that sugar beets are especially stressed, exports remain important, and farm credit conditions are deteriorating. Senators asked about sugar beet imports and market distortions, possible federal policy changes, the outlook for demand, and the likely impact of federal bridge payments; Wilder said the payments would help some producers but would not solve the underlying structural problems, and he predicted continued consolidation if current conditions persist.

Summary:
The joint committees heard several housing, land use, and infrastructure bills. HB 6019 HD2 on electric vehicle infrastructure and HB 1728 HD1 on rainwater catchment systems both drew limited testimony and were advanced. For HB 1728, the chairs said they would designate the Department of Health as the regulator and incorporate suggested technical amendments from plumbing and rainwater industry groups. Both measures were reported out with recommendations to pass, with HB 6019 passed unamended and HB 1728 passed with amendments.
HB 1844, which would have required the Land Use Commission to reclassify lands designated for urban growth, drew significant opposition from the Hawaii Farm Bureau and Sierra Club, who argued it would bypass land-use review and threaten agricultural land, water planning, and long-term resilience. Grassroot Institute supported the bill, and the Land Use Commission said the bill raised concerns. After discussion, the chairs deferred the measure in one committee and later the recommendation to pass it with amendments was not adopted in the other committee.
HB 1990 on penalties and liens for unresolved residential zoning violations was advanced with amendments. The chairs adopted Grassroot Institute’s suggested changes requiring any county sale of such property to be at no less than fair market value and requiring excess proceeds to be returned to the owner. HB 2424, which would allow county planning agencies to petition for temporary reclassification of certain agricultural lands to rural, also drew mixed testimony; the Land Use Commission raised due process concerns, and agriculture interests opposed it. One committee advanced it with amendments, but in the other committee the recommendation failed after members cited lack of county support.
The later portion of the hearing began on HB 1738 and HB 1739. HB 1738 would expand county authority to amend district boundaries for housing on parcels over 15 acres; OHA, Sierra Club, and the Hawaii Farm Bureau opposed it, while Grassroot Institute supported it. HB 1739 would require transit-supportive densities in county TOD areas and limit local restrictions; DPP raised concerns about timing, permitting, and conflicts with existing TOD frameworks, while OPSD and Grassroot supported it. The transcript cuts off before final action on these later bills.
