Summary: The committee heard Substitute Senate Bill 5520, which revises Washington’s wrongful conviction compensation law. Staff explained that the bill changes how claimants prove eligibility, extends the filing deadline from three to six years, adds a special deadline for certain Alford plea cases, expands compensation to include some civil detention time, provides an advance payment option, and changes attorney fee provisions. The prime sponsor and supporters from the Washington Innocence Project and exonerees testified that the bill would reduce confusing and costly relitigation, improve access to compensation, and help families, including by removing the age limit for tuition waivers for children of exonerees. One citizen testified in opposition, arguing the bill broadens eligibility and state costs and should be rejected. No vote was taken on this bill in the transcript. The committee then considered Senate Bill 5536 on property division in dissolution and legal separation cases. Staff said the bill directs courts to consider costs tied to selling real property, the risk of homelessness for a spouse and children when deciding whether to award the family home, and enforcement of real property orders against creditors. The sponsor said the measure is intended to make property division more equitable by accounting for mortgage affordability, sale costs, and related expenses that can leave the spouse with custody at risk of foreclosure or housing instability. There was little additional testimony, and the hearing concluded without a recorded vote. In executive session, the committee took up Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5925, authorizing the Attorney General to issue civil investigative demands. Members debated and voted on numerous amendments, with some adopted and others rejected. Adopted amendments included limiting CIDs from the Attorney General’s criminal justice division, requiring consultation with local law enforcement when criminal violations may be involved, and requiring county prosecutors to be able to investigate the Attorney General in certain circumstances; several proposed exemptions and procedural limits were rejected, including right-to-cure, a higher issuance standard, fee-shifting for successful CID challenges, and exemptions for small businesses, religious organizations, and nonprofits. The committee also rejected a striking amendment that would have replaced the bill with a special inquiry judge process. The bill was then reported out of committee on a 7-5 vote with a do pass as amended recommendation. The committee also considered Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 6002 on automated license plate readers. After adopting a striker and rejecting a line amendment, the committee approved a version that clarifies where ALPR data may not be collected, adds definitions for certain protected facilities, allows some parking-enforcement uses, and adjusts retention and deletion rules. Supporters said the bill fills a gap in state law and adds privacy guardrails while preserving public safety uses; some members supported the goals but remained concerned about privacy, retention, and scope. The bill was reported out on a 7-5 vote with a do pass as amended recommendation. The transcript then briefly shifted to public hearings on court security and judicial staffing bills, with testimony supporting expanded threat-assessment authority for court security personnel and noting rising threats against judges, but the discussion was cut off before any final action on those bills was shown.

Summary: The committee heard and laid out several natural resources and environmental bills, with testimony focused on balancing development, public health, wildlife protection, and regulatory authority. SB 3074 would allow the governor, lieutenant governor, and legislators to communicate in writing with TCEQ about matters before the commission, with safeguards requiring the communication to be part of the record and allowing other parties to respond; a committee substitute narrowed it to written communications about permits only, limited legislator communications to facilities in their districts, and adjusted conflict-of-interest rules. HB 3556, as substituted, would require notice to Texas Parks and Wildlife for certain very tall structures in specified coastal counties and give TPWD a limited right to seek injunctive relief if mitigation is insufficient to prevent material harm to migratory birds; supporters said it would address ignored wildlife recommendations and protect key flyways, while opponents argued the bill was too broad, singled out wind energy, and gave one agency unusually strong enforcement power. HB 49 would expand liability protections for produced-water recycling and beneficial use; supporters said it would encourage reuse of a large wastewater stream and reduce disposal pressures, while opponents warned it could shield operators from responsibility before the science and standards are mature. HB 4413 would authorize mass-balance accounting for renewable biomass feedstocks, and HB 3866 would regulate intermediate bulk container recycling facilities near homes, with a committee substitute adding a grandfather clause and making implementation contingent on funding. The committee also heard bills affecting air and energy regulation. HB 5033 would create a trigger to end vehicle emissions inspections if federal law changes to allow it; the substitute removed a Supreme Court-related trigger, and the lone public witness opposed the bill, warning it would worsen air quality and harm nonattainment areas. HB 4112 would clarify that on-site storage of high-level radioactive waste is allowed at current and future nuclear reactors and university research reactors only for waste generated at that site; the substitute clarified the language and removed an inoperative permit condition, and witnesses from environmental and nuclear groups said the clarification was needed to prevent unintended restrictions while avoiding off-site storage. HB 2440 would prohibit state agencies from using air-quality rules to ban or restrict vehicles based on energy source, including internal combustion vehicles, and no public testimony was offered. HB 4271 would require TCEQ to hold public meetings on request for composting facility authorizations; the substitute limited the requirement to future applications and was presented as a transparency measure after a denied local request and extensive public comments. Additional bills addressed landowner protections and Railroad Commission oversight. HB 3619 would require the Railroad Commission to restore surface land after plugging or replugging operations and indemnify landowners from damages tied to authorized entry; a witness supported the bill but urged fixing a separate statutory loophole that he said allowed operators to enter unrelated tracts without notice. HB 4042 would extend Railroad Commission pipeline safety and fee provisions to propane distribution systems by removing the word “natural” from the relevant definitions. HB 4426 would set a 10-year permit term for commercial surface disposal facilities, allow renewal based on compliance history, and require renewal applications 120 days before expiration. The committee took no votes because a quorum was not initially present, and each bill was left pending after testimony and discussion.
