Summary: The committee approved the April 8, 2026 minutes and then heard House File 3373, which was laid over. The bill sought trunk highway bond funding for preliminary and final design work at the 70th Street interchange in St. Paul Park. Representative Hansen, Mayor Keith Frankie, and Washington County Commissioner Karla Bigham described the interchange as undersized and increasingly unsafe because of refinery truck traffic, aggregate hauling, nearby growth, and changing traffic patterns. Members asked about prior study, cost, and greenhouse gas requirements, and the bill author said the request was about $500,000. Chair Cosgrove noted the bill would be laid over and suggested the issue could involve future statutory exemptions. The committee then took up House File 4449, also laid over, after adopting the A4 author’s amendment. Representative Jones presented the bill as a transit planning and accountability measure for the Twin Cities metro. It would set numeric transit goals, require better coordination between road projects and future transit projects, and give the Met Council more tools to support transit-oriented development, including property acquisition and development around transit corridors. Jones argued the bill would help avoid rebuilding roads twice and improve transit ridership, frequency, speed, and reliability. Representative Olson offered an amendment to exempt highway projects primarily addressing documented safety issues, arguing that safety projects should not be burdened by added transit requirements or costs. Jones said she supported the safety concern but opposed the amendment as written because the bill was aimed at major construction projects. After a roll call, the amendment failed on an 8-8 tie. The bill itself remained laid over for further work, with the chair noting there was still time to refine the proposal.

Summary: The joint Ways and Means and Consumer Protection meeting was a decision-making session on a series of House bills, with no oral testimony taken. The committees first acted on HB 2583, recommending passage on amended, and HB 1591, recommending passage with amendments related to health care. They also recommended passage on amended for HB 1749 on cesspools and HB 2423 on biodiesel, with each recommendation adopted by the members present. The committees then considered a second agenda block that included HB 2080, HB 1520, HB 1576, HB 1711, HB 1785, HB 1802, HB 1838, HB 1842, HB 1853, HB 1976, HB 2104, HB 2218, HB 2246, HB 2270, HB 2289, HB 2361, HB 2551, and HB 2606. Most were recommended for passage unamended and adopted without objection. HB 1520 was deferred because the Senate bill had already crossed over. HB 1711 was amended to replace the option period established by the corporation with a period of up to 10 years. HB 2289 was amended to remove repeal of a ceiling and set a $1 million expenditure ceiling for the automated victim information and notification system special fund. Several members noted reservations on HB 1842, which involved transfer of the Westridge parcel near a rail station; concerns were raised about the property’s value, the long-term lease status, and whether the city would actually accept or pursue the transfer. HB 1853 was passed unamended, with the committee noting the Lions Association had suggestions that could be addressed later in conference. HB 2218 was passed unamended while adopting DLNR testimony to clarify collaboration with community groups in stewarding public lands and recreational areas. In each case, the stated recommendations were adopted, often with members voting no with reservation rather than in opposition.

Summary: The committee heard a presentation from the University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix on its new tuition-free, three-year regional medical school branch in Yuma, which is intended to address Arizona’s primary care shortage by training students in a rural setting and linking them to rural residency opportunities. Members asked about who could apply, whether out-of-state applicants were eligible, and whether graduates would be required to remain in rural Arizona; the presenter said there is no post-graduation practice commitment, but the program is designed to encourage retention through rural training and residency placement. The committee then considered several child welfare and behavioral health bills. HB 2923 would expand judicial review procedures for court-ordered mental health treatment, adding timelines, notice, counsel protections, and a clear-and-convincing standard for continued treatment; the sponsor and a retired judge said it fills gaps in a 1974 statute. HB 2035 would expand kinship foster care to extended family members, require more notice and written findings when kin placement is denied, and strengthen presumptions favoring placement with relatives or other significant adults; DCS said the bill largely reflects current policy but raised a timing concern about a required report before preliminary protective hearings. HB 2611 would create a Youth Safety Rights and Mental Health Protection Act for foster youth and group homes, adding rights related to immediate and unbiased health care, anti-bullying protections, retaliation safeguards, drug screening, and safety rules; foster youth and former foster youth testified strongly in support, while DCS was neutral and noted possible implementation and fiscal impacts. The committee also heard HB 4004, which would require DCS to investigate credible abuse or neglect reports even when one parent is considered protective, and to take protective action when warranted. Several parents testified that DCS had previously closed or minimized cases because a protective parent existed, leaving children exposed to abuse; DCS did not testify against the bill, and members later said the agency should not use the presence of a safe parent as a reason not to investigate. The committee also considered pharmacy and AHCCCS-related bills: HB 2434 would revise the controlled substances prescription monitoring program and reporting requirements; HB 2732 would continue the State Board of Pharmacy; HB 2733 would make several pharmacy regulation changes including delivery, continuing education, and change-of-ownership rules; and HB 2932 would require AHCCCS contractors to reimburse noncontracting labs referred by contracting providers, which health plans opposed as undermining managed care tools while a lab provider argued it would improve fair payment and competition. On the floor, the committee also took up HB 2086, which would prohibit government and business mask and vaccination mandates, HB 2830, which would require instruction on fetal and prenatal development and bar abortion-related curriculum materials, and HB 2035, HB 2434, HB 2611, HB 2732, HB 2733, HB 2923, HB 2932, and HB 4004. Amendments were adopted on several bills, including HB 2086, HB 2611, HB 2830, and HB 2932. Final committee votes gave HB 2035, HB 2086, HB 2434, HB 2611, HB 2732, HB 2733, HB 2830, HB 2923, HB 2932, and HB 4004 do-pass recommendations, with HB 2086, HB 2611, HB 2830, and HB 2932 reported as amended.
