Summary: The Senate convened with an opening prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and introductions recognizing the YMCA’s 175th anniversary, the Senate’s doctor of the day, and visiting guests. The chamber then moved to the special order calendar after confirming there were no committee reports, executive messages, House messages, or other pending motions. The Senate passed several bills unanimously: SB 100, adopting the 2026 Florida Statutes and the 2025 session laws; SB 102, deleting statutory provisions that had already been repealed or expired; and SB 104, the general reviser’s bill, which removes obsolete language, updates cross-references, and corrects drafting errors. Senators briefly joked during debate on SB 104, but there was no substantive opposition. The Senate also passed SB 320 on administrative efficiency in public schools, which reduces district-level requirements, expands teacher apprenticeship and certification flexibility, streamlines assessment and budgeting rules, and adjusts VPK oversight and facility planning requirements. The chamber also approved SB 7010, allowing state and local deferred compensation plans to offer Roth post-tax contributions in addition to pre-tax options. In addition, SB 1720 on public school personnel compensation was withdrawn from further consideration. After passage of the day’s bills, the Senate adopted a motion to immediately certify the passed bills to the House, then adjourned until the next scheduled meeting.

Summary: The House convened with a quorum, approved the journal, and received multiple messages from the Senate and governor on enrolled bills and signed measures. Several Senate amendments were concurred in without objection, including House Bills 494, 728, and 703, and the chamber also handled committee reports, printing referrals, and announcements before recessing and later returning to floor action. On the floor, the House passed Senate Bill 1266, which made technical corrections to foster care-related language, removed extended foster care provisions for older youth, and expanded expedited placement to include kinship caregivers. It also passed Senate Bill 1316, which updates newborn screening consent language so parents may simply decline certain screenings or treatments without stating a religious or medical reason. Senate Bill 1339 passed as well, replacing the continuous improvement process for public schools with a longer-term strategic performance planning model and reducing certain reporting requirements. The House then debated and passed Senate Bill 1288, a funding bill for high-need students with disabilities that uses driver’s education funds and interest from the Idaho Career Readiness Fund; supporters framed it as necessary to meet federal special education obligations and relieve local districts, while opponents argued it creates an ongoing state obligation during a budget shortfall. The chamber also passed House Bill 939 on hunting technology restrictions with exemptions for predator control, agriculture, wounded-animal retrieval, property monitoring, and trap monitoring; House Bill 936, a trailer bill removing federal government agents from a private-property protection measure; House Bill 888, expanding state IT procurement oversight; House Bill 894, a transparency/open-meetings bill allowing recording and photography with safety-related exceptions; House Bill 927, restoring consequences for unpaid traffic infractions; House Resolution 29, changing call-of-the-House procedures; House Joint Memorial 21, urging faster permitting for a tungsten mine; and House Bill 706, allowing single-stairwell apartment/condo buildings under specified safety conditions. Senate Bill 1300, which would shift appointment of certain agency directors to gubernatorial nomination and Senate confirmation, was under debate at the end of the transcript, with supporters citing transparency and opponents warning about conflicts with the Harriman State Park agreement and board governance.

Summary: The committee first approved the minutes and then approved an agency amendment to a health and family services regulation. The amendment reversed a prior change so that neonatal ICU beds would remain subject to regular review rather than nonsubstantive review. The remaining administrative regulations were then reviewed without objection. The main presentation was from State Auditor Allison Ball on a report finding $836 million in concurrent Medicaid capitation payments from 2019 through 2022, involving individuals enrolled in Kentucky and at least one other state. Ball said Kentucky relied on the PARIS system, which has limitations because it is updated quarterly and depends on voluntary state participation, while a better federal data source, T-MSIS, was not fully available to the state. She said the audit found weak internal controls, siloed processes, outdated guidance, and a low-priority attitude toward residency checks, all of which contributed to missed alerts and improper payments. She also said the report identified additional problems, including payments made after beneficiaries died and cases involving multiple states paying for the same person. Ball recommended better access to federal data, stronger MCO contract provisions, and more active oversight by the Department for Medicaid Services and managed care organizations. She said the contracts reviewed did not provide a clear way to recoup the improper payments, though she and her counsel suggested possible equitable legal theories might be explored. Members expressed concern about the scale of the waste and the lack of contract enforcement, and asked whether any money could be recovered. Ball said the audit did not identify a clear contractual path to recoup the funds.

Summary: The joint hearing covered House Bill 251, which would require hospitals to report costs associated with Medicare and uninsured patients, and House Bill 1875, which would expand protections for gender-affirming health care services. On HB 251, the Department of Health said it supported the intent but described the bill as complicated and potentially impractical as drafted because the department lacks the expertise to produce the required analyses without outside help. Hawaii Health Systems Corporation echoed those concerns, while the Queen’s Health System said it was willing to work with the department to provide the information. In committee discussion, officials explained that hospital support in Hawaii includes public hospital appropriations and the provider tax program, which uses hospital and nursing home contributions to draw federal matching funds; a department witness estimated the net benefit at about $150 million for hospitals and $20 million for nursing facilities, though exact figures would be provided later. On HB 1875, the Insurance Division testified with concerns that the bill’s language on prohibited actions by malpractice insurers was broad and vague, and that a rate-increase prohibition could conflict with actuarially based insurance pricing. The division also noted it was not the primary enforcement agency for the statute. In contrast, many testifiers strongly supported the bill, including the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women, the Hawaii State LGBTQ+ Commission, the Hawaii Public Health Institute, PFLAG Oahu, the ACLU of Hawaii, the Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii, the Hawaii County Democratic Party, and others. Supporters argued that gender-affirming care is medically necessary, evidence-based, and protected by privacy and bodily autonomy principles, and that the bill would protect patients and providers from outside political interference. No votes or final committee actions were taken during the portion of the hearing provided.

Summary: The committee first heard House Bill 742, which would modernize Idaho’s vehicle titling system by expanding secure electronic records, allowing the Transportation Department to accept electronic ownership documents and digital titles from other states, and shortening the lien-release timeline to up to 10 days after verified funds are received. Representative Mitchell said the bill was developed with input from auto dealers and banks and was intended to reduce paperwork and speed up title processing. With no opposition or further testimony, the committee voted to send HB 742 to the floor with a due pass recommendation. At the sponsor’s request, House Bill 508 was held at the call of the chair while remaining issues are worked out. The committee then took up House Bill 507, a lengthy update to the Idaho Code of Military Justice. Representative Brown and Lieutenant Colonel Lauren Chappell explained that the bill would remove outdated language, improve compatibility with the Idaho National Guard’s Title 32 status, and strengthen commanders’ ability to maintain good order and discipline. Chappell focused on two main changes: separating reduction-in-rank authority from promotion authority so lower-level commanders can impose non-judicial punishment more effectively, and limiting the absolute right of service members to refuse non-judicial punishment and demand court-martial for minor offenses. She said the changes would preserve due process while making discipline more efficient and keeping senior officers available as appellate authorities. After questions from members and no negative testimony, the committee voted to send HB 507 to the floor with a due pass recommendation, then adjourned.

Summary: The committee met with a quorum and first took up House Bill 742, sponsored by Representative Mitchell. The bill was described as a modernization of Idaho’s vehicle titling system, expanding secure electronic records, allowing the Transportation Department to accept electronic ownership documents and digital titles from other states, and shortening the timeline for lien releases to 10 days after verified funds are received. The sponsor said he had worked with auto dealers and banks and had not heard opposition. The committee moved HB 742 to the floor with a due pass recommendation by voice vote. The committee then agreed by unanimous consent to hold House Bill 508 at the call of the chair while some issues are worked out. After that, it heard House Bill 507, presented by Representative Brown on behalf of Representative Ted Hill. The bill updates the Idaho Code of Military Justice, with testimony from Lieutenant Colonel Lauren Chappell of the Idaho Military Division explaining that many changes are administrative, but the main policy changes would improve commanders’ ability to impose non-judicial punishment, including reduction in rank, and would limit the absolute right of service members to refuse NJP and demand court-martial for minor offenses. She said the changes would better align Idaho’s system with active-duty practice and other states, while preserving appellate review and due process for more serious punishment. Members asked several questions about how the current system works and how the bill would change the chain of command for discipline and appeals. No negative testimony was offered. The committee then moved HB 507 to the floor with a due pass recommendation by voice vote and adjourned.
