Summary:
The State Powers Committee met on February 4 at 9 a.m. and laid over House Bill 1914. The committee then heard House Bill 3840, which Representative Gann said would create a new statutory framework addressing foreign land ownership as a national security issue, including interests such as leaseholds, minerals, easements, and control mechanisms. After no questions or debate, the committee adopted a due pass motion and reported the bill out unanimously.
The committee next heard House Bill 3431 from Representative Wilk, which he described as similar to HB 3840 but focused more specifically on preventing foreign adversaries from owning rare earth and critical mineral rights in Oklahoma. Wilk said he and Representative Gann were unaware their bills overlapped and planned to work toward combining them. He also noted he intended to amend his bill later to add more detail and better address supply chain and international security concerns, especially for critical minerals rather than oil and gas.
Representative Shaw asked for clarification on the expected amendments, and Wilk explained that stakeholder input would likely shape a more detailed version in a later committee. With no further questions or debate, the committee adopted a due pass motion on HB 3431 as well, and it was reported out unanimously. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary:
The Interim Joint Committee on Banking and Insurance met for its first interim meeting, established a quorum, approved routine opening items, and welcomed a new committee assistant and a legislative intern. The committee first heard a Kentucky Bankers Association presentation from Tim Shank and John Cooper focused on the state’s housing shortage, which they described as affecting all 120 counties and especially low- and moderate-income and workforce housing. They urged support for a proposed $20 million banker-backed revolving fund, paired with tax credits, to finance new housing construction; they said the program would be flexible, could support alternatives such as manufactured housing, and would use below-market loans with tax credits vesting over five years only after units are completed. They also asked for extension of the historical tax credit carryforward from five to seven years and for continued support of new market tax credits, arguing that supply-chain delays make the longer period necessary for historic rehabilitation projects.
The bankers also raised concerns about credit unions, arguing that because credit unions do not pay the same taxes as banks, they should not be allowed to acquire healthy state-chartered banks or hold state and local deposits. They cited the recent purchase of First State Bank of Middlesborough as an example, saying the transaction would reduce state, county, and city tax revenue and weaken local tax bases. In response to committee questions, the presenters said local regulations, zoning, parking, sidewalk, and utility easement issues can significantly delay housing projects, and they emphasized that state policy and infrastructure support are needed to help address affordability and development barriers.
The committee then shifted to a Department of Insurance presentation by Commissioner Sharon Clark on how to read KRS 6.948 health mandate and federal cost defrayal impact statements. Clark explained that the mandate statements were created in 1998 so legislators would have actuarial estimates of how proposed health insurance mandates would affect administrative costs, premiums, and total costs, and she noted that later legislation added federal cost-defrayal analysis. She also reviewed the background of the Affordable Care Act’s essential health benefits framework and said the department’s statements are intended to help lawmakers make informed decisions on proposed health coverage mandates. No votes or formal actions were taken during the portion of the meeting provided.
