Summary:
The Capital Budget Committee heard several bills. Substitute House Bill 2281 would require state agencies to consult with tribes before actions affecting tribal traditional cultural places and, under the substitute, would prohibit undue burdens on tribal traditional cultural practices unless justified by a compelling state interest and least restrictive means. Supporters, including tribal representatives, said the bill would better protect sacred sites and give tribes an enforceable remedy; an industry representative asked for narrower, clearer language. House Bill 2514 would create a work group to plan a Global War on Terror memorial on the Capitol campus, including names to honor, site options, design, and funding; the sponsor said it would help turn an existing authorization into a concrete plan and fundraising path.
House Bill 2551 would let school districts with ending fund balances at or below 3% seek OSPI approval to sell real property to restore financial stability and avoid binding conditions, with rules to ensure transparency and limit use to once every five years. The Tacoma School District supported the bill as a tool to manage severe budget pressure, while a committee member raised concerns about possible effects on local land use and gentrification. Substitute House Bill 2668 would direct Fish and Wildlife to identify alternate locations for the Bob Oake Game Farm and seek future capital funding to relocate and remediate the current site because of nitrate contamination affecting the Centralia area aquifer. Centralia officials, county public health, and tribal representatives said relocation is needed to protect drinking water and avoid much larger future treatment costs, while noting the farm should continue operating elsewhere.
The committee also took executive action on the proposed substitute for House Bill 2470, which would increase school construction assistance for projects on military bases by adding 15% to the state match. Supporters said military families need safe, quality school facilities; one member voted no, citing concerns about federal responsibility and the bill’s relationship to school district financial pressures. The substitute passed the committee 15-1, with three excused.

Summary:
The committee opened with prayer and then took up several bills, beginning with HB 3057, a government efficiency cleanup measure that removes more than 50 obsolete statutory report requirements. A member raised a concern that the bill might inadvertently remove language related to a child abuse response team, and the sponsor said that would be corrected before floor consideration. HB 3057 was then approved 14-0 and sent to the floor.
Members then debated HB 313, which prohibits state funds from being used for gender reassignment surgeries. The sponsor said the bill is intended to ensure taxpayer dollars are not used for such procedures, while opponents argued it goes beyond funding restrictions and could affect adults, referrals, private conversations, and medical judgment. Supporters framed it as protecting children and public funds. After debate, the bill passed 16-3. The committee also approved HB 4113, clarifying that people with felony convictions regain voting rights after completing incarceration, parole, supervision, and probation, and HB 3310, the Agency Accountability and Budget Transparency Act, both by 15-0 votes.
The committee next considered HB 3314, a county-option marijuana public safety impact fee allowing a 15% tax on retail marijuana sales. Questions focused on the 5% petition threshold and who should initiate the tax request, and the sponsor said he was open to changes. The bill passed 12-3. Members then debated HB 3985, which would create a private cause of action against certain large municipalities, mainly in the two largest metro areas, for failing to enforce laws related to issues such as camping, loitering, and panhandling. Opponents said it intrudes on municipal home rule and could raise constitutional issues; supporters said it would encourage cities to enforce their own laws. It also passed 12-3.
Finally, the committee approved HB 4486, authorizing a Gold Star Family Memorial Monument funded by the Woody Williams Foundation, after discussion about how it fits with existing veterans memorials at the Capitol. The bill passed 14-0. The chair announced the committee would meet again on Tuesday and then adjourned.

Summary:
The Senate Aeronautics and Transportation Committee heard several memorial highway and bridge designation bills and one substantive aviation/tax bill. The committee advanced SB 1323 (Marty Grisham memorial signage), SB 1863 (John Skelly Memorial Highway), SB 1932 (allowing a trucking company owner or other designated representative to appear without a lawyer in certain Corporation Commission administrative hearings), SB 1956 (Captain David Ward Neely Memorial Highway), SB 1970 (Private Earl Maggerton Memorial Bridge), and SB 1599 (Arlen Francis Wetzel Memorial Bridge). These measures were generally presented as honorary designations or procedural changes, with brief questions mainly about mileage or fiscal impact, and they all passed committee by voice or roll-call votes.
The most extensive discussion centered on SB 1950, which would prohibit government entities or private vendors from using ADS-B aircraft tracking data to calculate, generate, or collect fees. Supporters argued that using the federally required safety system for fee collection encourages pilots to turn off ADS-B, undermining air safety, and said airports can collect fees through other methods. Opponents and committee members raised concerns that the bill could hinder lawful tax and fee collection, including aircraft excise taxes and landing fees, and that it might reduce revenue for airports and the state. After testimony from the bill author, an aviation association representative, and the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics director, the committee laid the bill over at the author’s request.
The committee also heard SB 1312, which would have allowed owners of electric and hybrid vehicles to prepay the annual road-use fee over time rather than paying it in one lump sum. The author said the goal was to reduce the burden on low-income drivers and small businesses, but concerns were raised about fiscal impact and implementation. After title was stricken to allow further work, the bill failed on a 5-6 vote. The chair also announced that some items would be laid over and that the committee would not meet the following week.
