Summary:
The Senate Local and County Government Committee heard two bills. Senate Bill 2135, as amended, would let county purchasing agents obtain purchase cards through a local bank instead of only through the current state program, while keeping existing competitive-bidding and other guardrails. Senator Reinhart said the amendment was developed with the State Auditor’s Office to add protections, and committee questions focused on sealed bids, public award of contracts, spending limits, and how the bill aligns with current state P-card rules. The amendment was adopted by voice vote, and the bill then advanced on a 10-0 roll call vote.
The committee also considered Senate Bill 2130, a constituent-request bill aimed at helping very small towns qualify for grants by easing pre-grant audit requirements. Senator Murdoch explained that towns of 500 people or fewer with $50,000 or less in total funds would be exempt from having to obtain an audit before applying for a grant, though customary audits would still apply otherwise. Members discussed whether the bill could weaken fiscal oversight, whether other audit requirements would still apply, and whether agreed-upon procedures engagements might be a cheaper alternative. The chair and several members supported the measure as a way to help struggling rural communities, and the bill advanced on a 9-1 roll call vote.

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.
