Bills: S0754, S0796

Keywords: heated tobacco products, tobacco regulation, vaping, definition changes, Florida statutes, veterinary medicine, telehealth, veterinary professional associate, animal health, public safety, access to veterinary services

Summary: The Committee on Regulated Industries met with a quorum and took up two bills. First, it heard SB 754 on heated tobacco products. The bill would statutorily define heated tobacco products and exempt them from the cigarette tax. Senator Davis questioned why the exemption was needed, and Senator Bernard asked about youth access; the sponsor said the bill was limited to taxation and would look into age and regulatory issues. A Florida Retail Federation representative appeared in support. The committee voted the bill favorably, and Senator Bracey Davis later asked to be recorded as voting in the affirmative on tab 1. The committee then considered SB 796 on veterinary medicine, after adopting a delete-everything amendment. The amended bill would create a Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA) role for individuals with a master’s degree in veterinary clinical care to perform delegated tasks under a licensed veterinarian’s responsible supervision. It also would extend the time period for telehealth prescriptions for flea and tick products from one month to six months and for other medications from 14 days to 30 days. Senator Boyd raised liability concerns, and the sponsor said existing statute already places liability on the supervising veterinarian. The Florida Veterinary Medical Association testified against the bill, arguing Florida should expand and better utilize existing veterinary technicians rather than create a new mid-level role, and warning about federal prescribing restrictions and animal safety. Supporters, including the Animal Legal Defense Fund and Dr. Wayne Jensen, argued the bill would expand access to care, reduce costs, and provide a well-trained supervised workforce. Several senators said the bill balanced access and safety, and the committee reported SB 796 favorably. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary: The Committee on Regulated Industries met with a quorum and took up two bills. SB 754, by Senator DeSantis, would define heated tobacco products in statute and exempt them from the cigarette tax. Senator Davis and Senator Bernard asked about the bill’s purpose and youth access; the sponsor said it was intended to recognize a less harmful alternative to cigarettes and would not itself address age restrictions, which he said he would research further. A representative of the Florida Retail Federation appeared in support, and the committee reported the bill favorably. The committee then considered SB 796 on veterinary medicine, which was substantially rewritten by a delete-everything amendment creating a Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA) role. The amendment would allow people with a master’s degree in veterinary clinical care and a national competency exam to perform certain delegated tasks under a veterinarian’s responsible supervision, while barring them from prescribing certain drugs or controlled substances and from most surgery. It also extended telehealth prescription timeframes for flea and tick products and other medications. Senators Boyd and others raised concerns about liability, supervision, and whether the proposal could conflict with federal prescribing rules; Senator Bradley said veterinarian liability remains in existing statute and the bill is meant to expand access and reduce costs. The Florida Veterinary Medical Association opposed the measure, arguing that existing veterinary technicians are already trained for a mid-level role, that the VPA concept is unsafe and unnecessary, and that access problems are better addressed through other proposals such as loan repayment programs and expanded technician roles. Supporters, including the Animal Legal Defense Fund and Dr. Wayne Jensen, argued the bill would help address shortages, improve affordability, and keep care under veterinarian control. After debate, the amendment was adopted and SB 796, as amended, was reported favorably. Senator Calatayud later asked to be recorded as voting yes on tab 1, and the committee adjourned.

Summary: The committee heard staff briefings, public testimony, and no final votes on a series of bills. On Substitute House Bill 1128, staff described a proposed second substitute creating a Child Care Workforce Standards Board at L&I with an advisory role only, along with estimated staffing and board costs; supporters said child care workers need a forum to address understaffing and wages, while opponents called the bill duplicative and costly. The committee also heard support for Second Substitute House Bill 1634, which would have OSPI and ESDs develop a technical assistance and training framework for school behavioral health supports, and Substitute House Bill 2636, which would create a public education review advisory council to recommend K-12 policies for JLARC review; staff outlined fiscal impacts for both, and no one testified on 2636. Members then heard House Bill 1316 on expanding the Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness program so multiple campuses within an institution could apply, with testimony that the current language unintentionally limits access to already appropriated funds. Substitute House Bill 2474 would expand use of the Student Achievement Council Tuition Recovery Trust Fund to cover consumer protection violations tied to private college closures and teach-out obligations, with staff noting no expected fiscal impact from the fund itself. Substitute House Bill 2365 would broaden the State Broadband Office’s digital equity duties and rename the grant program, with supporters emphasizing rural access and the loss of federal digital equity funding; staff said Commerce would bear most ongoing costs. The committee also heard House Bill 2401, creating a Washington State Boys and Men’s Commission contingent on non-state funding, with supporters saying boys and men face worsening mental health, education, and social outcomes. Substitute House Bill 2475 would require the Office of Equity to develop statewide language-access guidelines and a plan to address interpreter shortages, with staff saying the office could absorb the work but other agencies’ costs were uncertain. Substitute House Bill 2517 would give regional transit authorities more flexibility to seek permits before acquiring property for high-capacity transit projects, and Substitute House Bill 2145 would restrict manufacturers from blocking 340B drug access through contract pharmacies and add reporting requirements; testimony was sharply divided over whether the bill protects safety-net providers or increases health care costs. Finally, Second Substitute House Bill 1420 would require a textile and apparel coordinating organization and a needs assessment for a future producer responsibility program, with supporters urging a careful first step and opponents warning it presumes the outcome and adds complexity and cost.

Summary: The Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee met on February 4 and took executive action on five bills. House Bill 2255 on litigation finance would require disclosures and prohibit certain acts by third-party litigation funders; members described it as a transparency measure rather than a ban, and it was reported out 12-1. House Bill 2354 on WUCIOA and small common interest communities would exempt smaller communities from many WUCIOA requirements, adjust reserve study and audit rules, and was reported out unanimously 13-0. The committee also advanced House Bill 2595, which extends the deadline for post-conviction collateral attacks from one year to three years and allows the Office of Public Defense to represent eligible indigent offenders in those proceedings. Supporters framed it as an access-to-justice measure, while opponents warned of added strain on the courts; it passed 8-5. Before voting, the committee heard staff summaries of House Bill 2320 on restricting manufacture and distribution of certain firearms made with 3D printers or CNC machines, and House Bill 2597 on civil remedies for constitutional violations during immigration enforcement. For House Bill 2320, the committee adopted Representative Walsh’s amendment removing a rebuttable presumption about intent tied to digital firearm manufacturing code, then reported the substitute bill out 8-5. Supporters said the substitute was narrowed after stakeholder input to target untraceable firearms without unduly affecting hobbyists or industry, while opponents argued it remained too broad and could chill lawful 3D printing. House Bill 2597, as amended by substitute, would create a civil cause of action for constitutional violations during civil immigration enforcement, align some defenses with Section 1983 practice, and shorten the limitations period to two years; it was also reported out 8-5 after supporters emphasized remedies for rights violations and opponents questioned its necessity and scope.

Bills: HB2146, HB2349, HB2430, HB2457, HB2510, HB2532

Keywords: sexual exploitation, minors, human trafficking, child safety, law enforcement, victim support, sexually violent predator, SVP, civil commitment, community notification, release notification, conditional release, unconditional discharge, escape notification, victim notification, witness notification, prosecuting attorney, Department of Social and Health Services, DSHS, Department of Corrections

Summary: The committee heard public hearings on several public safety bills. House Bill 2146 would expand the sexual exploitation of a minor statute to cover causing a minor to view sexually explicit conduct when that conduct is photographed or performed live. The prime sponsor, Olympia police, and Pierce County prosecutors described cases involving adults masturbating in front of children and said current law often leaves only misdemeanor charges such as indecent exposure or communication with a minor for immoral purposes. They argued the bill would better address grooming behavior, allow felony-level investigation and forensic interviews, and provide stronger sentencing and no-contact consequences. No vote was taken. House Bill 2349 would expand notice requirements for sexually violent predator releases, conditional releases, address changes, discharges, and escapes to include local elected officials such as legislators, county leaders, and city officials. The sponsor said the bill would codify and standardize a practice that had been occurring inconsistently and would help officials respond to community questions with accurate information. Cities and DSHS supported the bill with technical amendments, while defense attorneys opposed it, warning that broader notice could undermine law enforcement’s role, fuel public pressure against releases, and create constitutional and safety concerns. The hearing was left open. The committee also heard House Bills 2430 and 2457 together on the crime victim penalty assessment. HB 2430 would restore the assessment for certain offenses, while HB 2457 would increase the assessment and add a surcharge for defendants with substantial financial resources. Sponsors and victim advocates said the 2023 changes left victim services underfunded and caused severe staffing cuts, while prosecutors said the bills would help restore constitutionally required victim services. Defense and legal aid groups opposed both bills, arguing they would reimpose burdensome fees on people who cannot pay and worsen reentry barriers. The chair directed the two sponsors to work together on a single proposal before executive action. House Bill 2532 would make it a gross misdemeanor to sell or distribute nitrous oxide devices or canisters, while exempting medical, dental, food, industrial, and automotive uses. The sponsor and supporters, including tribal representatives, the Attorney General’s office, public health officials, and the Washington Poison Center, described rising misuse, youth-targeted marketing, serious injuries, and deaths, and said the bill would reduce access and protect public health. A veterinary group asked for clarification on animal care uses. The hearing was held open. Finally, House Bill 2510 would require DOC supervision for people convicted of stalking who are sentenced to community custody. The sponsor said stalking is a serious crime against persons and that supervision is needed to hold offenders accountable and protect victims; the hearing began but no action was taken in the portion provided.

Summary: The committee first heard Senate Bill 101, which would repeal the July 1, 2030 sunset on the Health Care Delivery and Access Act and make the hospital provider-tax program permanent. The sponsor, the Health Care Authority secretary, and the New Mexico Hospital Association said the program has generated substantial federal Medicaid matching funds and has supported hospital workforce, quality, and infrastructure investments, especially in rural areas. Members asked why the sunset existed originally and whether federal changes under H.R. 1 would phase the program down; the secretary explained the sunset was meant as a review point, but that federal law now prevents creating a new similar program if this one expires. The committee heard support from hospital and business representatives, no opposition, and voted due pass 7-0. The committee then considered Senate Bill 58, as amended, which extends the property tax abatement period for metropolitan redevelopment areas from a fixed seven years to up to 14 years. The sponsor and Albuquerque redevelopment officials said the change would give local governments more flexibility to structure projects based on financial need, while still preserving current tax payments and encouraging redevelopment of blighted or underused areas. Several supporters, including realtors and the Greater Albuquerque Chamber, argued the longer window would improve certainty for developers and help spur housing and other reinvestment. Some members raised concerns about lost revenue for schools and whether the tool could be overused, but were told the program applies only in designated redevelopment areas and is intended to leverage future higher assessments. The committee adopted the amendment and then passed the bill as amended 7-0. Finally, the committee heard Senate Bill 55, which increases New Mexico’s state solar tax credit from 10% to 30% after the federal credit was reduced, and raises the individual cap from $6,000 to $15,000 while keeping the overall annual program cap at $30 million. The sponsor and numerous solar industry, business, and clean-energy advocates said the change is needed to prevent layoffs, stabilize the rooftop solar market, support local jobs, and preserve grid and affordability benefits for customers. Members asked about permitting, certification, consumer protection, and whether battery storage was included; the sponsor said the bill covers rooftop solar only, the credit is refundable, and EMNRD certifies systems before credits are issued. The committee heard broad support, no opposition, and voted due pass 7-0 before adjourning.

Summary: The committee held public hearings on three bills. HB 2255 would regulate third-party litigation funding by requiring disclosure of funders and financing agreements, limiting certain funder practices, capping funder recovery at 25% of a monetary award, and creating enforcement remedies. The bill sponsor and supporters from insurance and business groups described it as a transparency and consumer-protection measure that could improve case management and reduce costs, while opponents from the plaintiffs’ bar and litigation finance industry argued it would chill access to justice, create satellite litigation, and unfairly expose plaintiffs’ financing arrangements. No vote was taken; the chair asked testifiers to submit written comments and closed the hearing. The committee then heard HB 2548, which would expand state notice and review requirements for health care market transactions, including broader definitions of material changes, pauses for Attorney General information requests, interagency data-sharing, and revocation of nonprofit designation in certain transactions. Supporters, including patient advocates, nurses, the Office of the Insurance Commissioner, and the Attorney General’s office, said the bill would help address consolidation, private equity involvement, and rising health care costs. Hospital and medical association representatives opposed or sought changes, citing drafting problems, undefined terms, concerns about overbreadth, and questions about how nonprofit status would be affected. Staff was asked to follow up on the alleged drafting error and other language concerns. Finally, the committee heard HB 2320, which would tighten restrictions on the manufacture and distribution of 3D-printed and CNC-produced firearms, digital firearm manufacturing code, and devices marketed for firearm production, and would make certain violations per se CPA violations. The sponsor and supporters, including school officials, gun violence survivors, students, researchers, and gun safety advocates, said the bill would close a loophole in existing ghost gun laws and respond to growing use of untraceable firearms. Opponents, including the NRA and a makerspace representative, argued the bill was overbroad, raised First, Second, and Fifth Amendment concerns, and could sweep in lawful 3D printing and CNC activities. The hearing ended with additional testimony in support and opposition; no action or vote was taken.

Summary: The meeting of the agricultural committee focused on significant concerns regarding the current state of America's rural economy, highlighting the need for a strong five-year farm bill to address the challenges faced by farmers, particularly young and beginning farmers. Key testimony was given by multiple stakeholders including agricultural leaders and young farmers, emphasizing issues related to crop insurance, access to credit, and the adverse impact of recent USDA funding freezes. Various members discussed the necessity of risk management tools that farmers rely on to secure financing, which is crucial for sustaining agricultural operations and supporting rural communities. The importance of timely legislative action was underscored, as many farmers reported struggles in the current economic climate, raising urgency for reforms within the Farm Bill framework.
