Summary: The Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee heard staff briefings on several bills, including House Bill 2548 on hospital and provider material change transactions, House Bill 2453 on psychiatric pharmacists’ role in certain involuntary treatment petitions, House Bill 2640 on unauthorized UCC filings, House Bill 2095 on vulnerable users of public ways, House Bill 2386 on garnishment forms, and House Bill 2239 on family burial grounds on private land. The committee also discussed proposed substitutes and amendments, especially on HB 2095, where members debated liability standards, attorney fees, emergency vehicle exemptions, and reporting requirements. For HB 2548, members discussed transparency and disclosure in health care transactions, including notice requirements, filing fees, and Attorney General publication of pending and completed transactions. The committee adopted some amendments and rejected others. On HB 2095, it adopted amendments exempting emergency vehicles and clarifying collision report data, but rejected amendments that would have removed attorney fees, restricted liability further, or replaced the rebuttable presumption with a different civil cause of action. On HB 2239, the proposed substitute added setbacks from wells and springs, local remediation procedures, burial reporting to the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, relocation procedures for remains, and disclosure requirements when property is sold. Members also noted that HB 2640 would give the Department of Licensing a process to refuse or terminate unauthorized filings submitted to harass or defraud debtors. At executive session, the committee voted all five bills out with due pass recommendations: Substitute House Bill 2548 passed 7-6, House Bill 2453 passed 8-5, House Bill 2640 passed 8-5, Substitute House Bill 2095 passed 8-5, House Bill 2386 passed 12-1, and Substitute House Bill 2239 passed unanimously 13-0.

Summary: The Banking, Financial Services, and Pensions Committee heard three bills. Senate Bill 2132, presented by Rep. Geis, would raise the allowable credit card processing fee cap from 2% to 3% and preserve consumer protections requiring notice to customers. During discussion, members raised concerns about whether 3% was enough to cover actual merchant costs; Geis said she had spoken with the Senate author and was prepared to amend the bill to 4%, which she said would better match average costs and cover most businesses. The committee agreed to let the language be handled before Oversight, and the bill passed 8-0. House Bill 1623, also presented by Geis, updates the state charter for credit unions to give state-chartered institutions more flexibility similar to federally chartered credit unions. It revises field-of-membership rules, removes geographic or membership overlap considerations, and allows the board to add association categories for individuals in underserved areas below 150% of the poverty level. The bill received no questions and passed 8-0. Senate Bill 267, presented by Rep. Lepak, carries the same language previously passed in House Bill 3020 and deals with protection of vulnerable adults. Lepak said bankers and credit unions were working together on the measure. The committee took no substantive debate and passed the bill 8-0. The meeting then adjourned.
