Summary:
The Commission on Unemployment Compensation met with a quorum present, introduced new members and staff, and elected Delegate Destiny LeVere Bolling as chair and Senator Mike Jones as vice chair. The commission also adopted its electronic meeting policy. The Secretary of Labor and Virginia Employment Commission leadership then gave introductory remarks about the labor secretariat, VEC’s role, and the administration’s focus on workforce stability, transparency, and access to services.
Staff provided a legislative update on recent unemployment-related bills. Marvie Ali reviewed the commission’s statutory duties and noted that HB 1320 and SB 759 increased the weekly unemployment benefit amount by $48 effective July 1, 2026, following a prior $52 increase in 2025 that together fulfilled the commission’s earlier recommendation to raise benefits by $100. She also summarized HB 1319, which would have set a 26-week maximum duration but was continued to 2027, the budget item providing $75,000 for actuarial support, and SB 433, which changed labor-dispute disqualification rules so certain locked-out workers may receive benefits. Staff also reported that the 2025 work group studying annual benefit adjustments did not complete its work, and members discussed reinstating it at a future meeting.
VEC Deputy Commissioner Joanna Darkus presented an extensive overview of the unemployment insurance system, including eligibility rules, tax structure, benefit levels, claims trends, trust fund solvency, fraud prevention, and implementation of recent legislation. She said Virginia’s unemployment rate remains low by historical standards, but claim durations and benefit outflows have increased, and the trust fund balance factor is projected at 50.9%, near the statutory trigger for additional employer charges. Members asked about the taxable wage base, employer tax rates, solvency, staffing during the pandemic, and implementation of paid family and medical leave. Darkus said VEC is using ID.me, improving controls, and preparing for paid family and medical leave through regulations, staffing, IT procurement, public comment, and listening sessions.
During public comment, a Virginia Poverty Law Center representative urged the commission to strengthen the UI system through state action, warning that federal funding and oversight are unreliable and arguing that Virginia should invest in benefits, administration, and modernization. The meeting ended with no further business and adjournment.

- Members, Senate Bill 7010 is the Roth Contribution Plan deferred compensation program.
- Federal tax law allows deferred compensation plans to offer both pre-tax contributions and post-tax Roth
- Current state law limits the state and local administrative deferred compensation plans to only a pre-tax
- governmental entities for local plans to allow post-tax contribution and their prospective deferred compensation
Bills:
S7010
Keywords:
Roth contributions, deferred compensation, retirement savings, Florida Statutes, tax benefits
Summary:
The Senate Committee on Appropriations met to take up SB 7010 by Senator Mayfield, which would authorize Roth post-tax contribution options in state and local deferred compensation plans. The bill was briefly explained, received one appearance in support, had no debate, and was reported favorably by roll call vote.
The committee then heard a lengthy presentation from the Governor’s Office of Policy and Budget on the governor’s recommended $117.4 billion “Floridians’ First Budget.” The presentation highlighted major spending areas including education, health care, public safety, transportation, environmental restoration, and economic development. Key proposals included increased FEFP funding for K-12 schools, teacher salary funding, higher education support, Everglades and water quality funding, emergency preparedness reserves, corrections staffing and pay increases, law enforcement recruitment bonuses, cybersecurity, and affordable housing and infrastructure investments.
Members asked extensive questions about property tax reserve planning, litigation funding, emergency response fund balances and expenditures, the use of federal reimbursement for the Everglades detention facilities, the animal abuse hotline, Hope Florida, corrections staffing, and the proposed reduction in ADAP eligibility for HIV/AIDS medication assistance. A member of the public also testified at length about concerns that the ADAP changes would harm access to life-saving medications and alleged improper shifting of program funds. Committee members and the presenter acknowledged follow-up questions on several items, but no additional votes or formal actions were taken beyond the favorable report on SB 7010 and adjournment.

Bills:
SB2601
Summary:
The Senate Committee on Border Security met with a quorum and heard only one bill, Senate Bill 2601 by Senator Blanco, laid out by Senator Hinojosa of Hidalgo. The bill was presented as a committee substitute to revise the Landowner’s Compensation Program created last session under SB 1133. The changes would expand eligibility to include land lessees with the landowner’s permission, cover damage to the land itself as well as structures and real property, add continuous smuggling of persons as a qualifying border crime, prohibit insurers from using claims under the program in rate calculations, and require law enforcement to provide requested border crime reports to the Attorney General within 14 days.
Public testimony was unanimously supportive. Charles Maley of the South Texans Property Rights Association said the program has been beneficial and that the bill helps clean up implementation issues, including clarifying compensation for debris and pollutants left on land. Stephen Diebel of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association also supported the bill, saying it would help address fence damage, destroyed infrastructure, and other harms along the border, and that lessees who manage properties day to day should be eligible for direct compensation when they have the landowner’s permission.
Members discussed border-related property damage, including vehicles crashing through fences, broken sheds, livestock escaping, and resulting highway hazards. Senator Hinojosa asked about how conflicts between landowners and lessees would be handled, and testimony indicated documentation of lease authority would be required. After public testimony closed, the committee adopted the committee substitute without objection and voted to report SB 2601 favorably to the full Senate by a 5-0 vote, recommending it as local and uncontested.

Summary:
The Commerce Committee heard and advanced five bills. HB 2174, as amended by a strike-everything, redefined “advisory organization” as a modeling and data organization and allowed models used by insurers for rate-making to be filed with DIFI, with DIFI able to require supporting data to verify compliance. The sponsor said the measure was the product of extensive stakeholder negotiations and technical cleanup. The committee adopted the amendment and then approved the bill 10-0 for a due-pass recommendation.
HB 2496 would require revitalization district construction contracts to include payment protections allowing contractors and subcontractors to pause or stop work if the district fails to pay. Supporters argued it was a fairness measure to prevent contractors from being forced to continue work without payment; opponents, including bond counsel and the League of Arizona Cities and Towns, warned it could disrupt public infrastructure projects, misalign incentives, and create bond-financing concerns. The committee passed the bill 9-1 with one member present.
HB 2910 would extend from 10 to 20 days the time a contractor has to contest an ROC recovery fund claim after notice. The sponsor and Home Builders Association said it was a minor, technical change and requested more time to respond to claims. The committee approved it 10-1. HB 2938, the “penny” bill, would require Swedish rounding for cash transactions when pennies are unavailable, with an amendment clarifying taxes and fees are calculated before rounding and protecting businesses complying with the rule. The sponsor described inconsistent business practices and support from stakeholders; the committee adopted the amendment and passed the bill.
HB 2744 would authorize the Industrial Commission of Arizona to investigate and adjudicate overtime wage violations at the state level. Supporters from the carpenters’ unions said federal enforcement is too slow and workers need a faster path to recover earned wages; the Industrial Commission said it would need additional FTEs and spending authority but not general fund money. One member opposed expanding agency authority over private wage disputes, but the committee ultimately passed the bill 10-1 and adjourned.
