Summary: The committee took up several pending business items and reported a series of House bills out of committee, including HB 2467, HB 2468, HB 2518, HB 4310, HB 4386, HB 4490, HB 5323, and HB 149. Most of these were advanced on committee substitute motions and sent to the local and uncontested calendar or reported favorably to the full Senate. HB 2467 drew one nay vote, while the others were approved without opposition. HB 4310 and HB 4386 were described as committee-substitute versions with changes narrowing disclosure requirements and preserving attorney-client privilege in certain circumstances. A major portion of the meeting focused on HB 149, an AI governance bill. The substitute was explained as addressing biometric identifier capture and storage, exempting certain AI uses for security and fraud prevention, clarifying definitions, restricting AI systems that simulate explicit child sexual content, adjusting Attorney General investigative authority, refining sandbox program waivers, reducing Texas AI Council powers and membership, and adding DIR coordination provisions. The committee adopted the substitute and reported the bill favorably. The committee then heard extensive testimony on HB 1500, the DIR sunset bill. The author said the bill would continue DIR for 12 years, restructure its board, update advisory committees, require regular cybersecurity assessments and penetration testing for state agencies, improve IT procurement training, and transfer the e-grants program to the Comptroller. A Texas 2036 witness supported the bill as a way to strengthen governance, procurement, and cybersecurity. Members asked detailed questions about the bill’s structure and then left HB 1500 pending. The committee also heard a lengthy presentation on HB 150, which would create the Texas Cyber Command as a component of the University of Texas System, administratively attached to UTSA and located in San Antonio. The author argued the command would centralize cyber threat intelligence, incident response, and digital forensics, and would be able to support state and local entities, with optional services for local governments. Members raised concerns about university mission drift, governance, security, chain of command, procurement authority, gifts and donations, and civil liberties implications of proactive cyber monitoring. Witnesses from UTSA/NSCC and SecurityScorecard testified in support, emphasizing the security of the downtown San Antonio facility, the existing cyber ecosystem there, and the need for a dedicated cyber capability. The bill remained under discussion with no final committee action announced in the excerpt.

Summary: The Joint Committee on Transportation held a hearing on five bills, centered on the governor’s Ride Safe Act and related micromobility legislation. Administration officials from MassDOT and the MBTA described the bill as a first-in-the-nation, speed-based framework for e-bikes, scooters, mopeds, and similar devices, replacing outdated device categories with statewide rules on age, helmets, equipment, operating locations, registration/insurance for higher-speed devices, crash-data reporting, and battery safety standards. They said the goal was to improve safety and consistency without discouraging affordable, multimodal transportation or first-mile/last-mile transit connections. Committee members and several legislators asked about enforcement, data collection, battery fire risks, commuter rail accommodations, and how the bill would apply to shared-use paths. Some members supported the speed-based approach but raised concerns that the bill may need clearer path-speed limits, better education and enforcement tools, and more work on future regulations. Representatives and senators from affected districts testified in support, emphasizing rising complaints, youth injuries, and the need for uniform statewide rules. One senator urged quick action before summer, citing recent local incidents and the rapid growth of e-bike use. The micromobility commission panel, including bicycle, pedestrian, retail, and police representatives, largely supported the bill’s classification framework and crash-data provisions, but urged additional work on default path speed limits, automated enforcement, and funding for safer infrastructure. A police chief stressed the need for education, meaningful penalties, and training for officers. Two pediatric physicians strongly supported the bill but argued it should go further by adding a minimum age for faster devices and a universal helmet requirement, citing severe and increasing child injuries. UL Standards representatives endorsed the battery safety provisions and recommended tighter language requiring certification to recognized standards. Two members of the public who commute on vintage mopeds opposed the bill as written, arguing it unfairly excludes mopeds from micromobility protections and creates inconsistent treatment for similar low-speed vehicles. No votes were taken during the hearing.
