Transcript Highlights:
- Welcome to the meeting of the Technology, Economic Development and Veterans Committee.
- And thank you for your service. Any questions for Nancy?
- House Bill 2446 relates to developing the quantum technology industry.
- Other states are moving aggressively to attract this emerging technology.
- But I also know that, just like every other technology, it has... ...with quantum.

Summary:
The committee held public hearings on three bills. House Bill 2365, “Advancing Digital Opportunities for All,” would shift digital equity responsibilities more squarely to the State Broadband Office, rename the Digital Equity Opportunity Program as the Digital Opportunity Program, update the Digital Equity Forum’s duties, and require more regular reporting and coordination on the state digital equity plan. The prime sponsor said the bill is mainly a governance update to align state law with changing federal and state structures. Testimony from community organizations, PTA, and digital navigation providers strongly supported the bill, emphasizing the need for broadband access, devices, digital skills, and online safety, while Commerce testified to technical and fiscal concerns and said amendments were needed to address costs.
House Bill 2446 would direct Commerce to develop a state quantum strategy by June 30 using non-state funding if possible, with the goal of identifying growth areas, workforce needs, partnerships, and economic impacts for the quantum industry. The sponsor and supporters from the technology industry, Microsoft, and the Technology Alliance argued that Washington has strong research assets but needs a coordinated strategy to compete with other states. Committee members raised concerns about regulatory capture, cybersecurity, and the need to keep the strategy broad enough to cover quantum communications, networking, and sensing; a friendly amendment was requested to reference “quantum technology” rather than just quantum computing. House Bill 2357 would create a state Civil Air Patrol within the Military Department, allowing the governor to activate it for cadet training, communications, disaster relief, cyber missions, and search and rescue. The Military Department, Civil Air Patrol leadership, and veterans’ representatives supported the bill, saying it would improve coordination and emergency response without changing federal authorities or creating a fiscal impact.
The meeting ended with a work session on strengthening Washington’s visitor economy. State of Washington Tourism, the Washington Wine Commission, and industry advisory group members presented recommendations for a more sustainable tourism funding model, centered on an industry-supported assessment and a target annual program budget of about $25 million. They said Washington is underfunded compared with peer western states and could lose billions in visitor spending over the next decade without a stronger, more predictable funding structure. Committee members discussed the importance of statewide benefits, international visitation, and balancing support for urban and rural destinations, and the chair said tourism investment bills would be considered later in the session.

Summary:
The committee first heard Senate Bill 132, a Department of Information Technology modernization measure sponsored by Senator Padilla. The bill would update state IT statutes to explicitly include software and cloud-based services alongside hardware and equipment, with the goal of improving planning, procurement, security, and efficiency. Secretary Manny Budettas said the change would help modernize secure services, reduce emergency fixes, and better align state purchasing with current software-as-a-service models. Members asked about centralized integration across branches of government, cybersecurity protections, the revolving fund, and agency billing; the bill was reported out with a do pass on the committee substitute.
The committee then considered Senate Memorial 16, which asks Higher Education to convene a task force on parenting students in New Mexico’s higher education system. Senator Harmeo and witnesses described barriers such as child care, transportation, flexible scheduling, and financial hardship, and said the memorial would gather data and recommendations rather than create a new program. Members discussed how the survey would be administered, whether it would include full-time and part-time students, and how online or out-of-state students would be handled; the memorial was approved with a do pass.
Finally, the committee heard Senate Memorial 17, sponsored by Senator Lopez, directing DPS and the New Mexico Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs to study the current state of sexual assault examination kits. Witnesses reviewed the 2016 task force that addressed a backlog of more than 5,000 untested kits and said a new backlog of 1,419 kits is now beyond the 180-day testing target. Members expressed strong concern about the delays, asked about lab capacity, possible use of private or additional labs, and the lack of penalties for missing the deadline. The memorial passed with a do pass, and the committee then recessed.

Summary:
The Joint Committee on Health Care Financing held a public hearing on several health care financing bills, with most testimony focused on autism/ABA services and kidney disease coverage. On House Bill 4623, Representative Lisa Field and providers from Community Autism Services and related groups urged the committee to recognize assistant-level ABA providers, including BCaBAs, in the MassHealth reimbursement structure to expand capacity, reduce wait lists, and improve access for children with autism. An actuary testified that moving from a two-tier to a three-tier ABA model could lower MassHealth costs, and providers said current reimbursement and new MassHealth requirements are contributing to long delays and workforce strain. On House Bill 4353 and Senate Bill 2587, testimony from ABA organizations supported a biannual Medicaid rate review process to better align reimbursement with service costs, workforce needs, accreditation requirements, and new administrative burdens, without mandating a specific rate increase.

Summary:
The Senate Health and Long-Term Care Committee held public hearings on several bills. SB 5904 would clarify that only human beings may use nursing titles, including in the context of AI or chatbots; the sponsor and nursing witnesses said it would protect transparency, patient safety, and the nursing profession, and testimony was overwhelmingly supportive. SB 5915 would change the Health Technology Assessment Program’s review criteria and timelines, giving priority to technologies already recommended by Medicare or national guidelines; supporters, including educators and patients with rare or serious conditions, said the current process is too rigid and can block access to needed treatments. SB 6025 would update the definition of fetal death to use the best clinically accurate gestational age rather than last menstrual period; the sponsor and clinicians said this would align the law with medical practice and reduce emotional and financial burdens on grieving families, though the hearing drew substantial opposition sign-ins. SB 5933 would require the Department of Health to share EMS overdose data in near real time with ODMAP, with privacy protections and limits on law-enforcement use; public health, local government, recovery, and youth witnesses said it would improve overdose response and save lives, while the Poison Center asked for amendments to include its data and avoid conflating overdoses with poisonings. SB 5990 would allow APRNs or physician assistants to serve as local health officers in counties under 100,000 population; the sponsor said rural counties need more flexibility, while local public health groups supported broader access but raised concerns about qualifications, and naturopathic physicians argued they should also be included. SB 5981 would prohibit drug manufacturers from limiting 340B drug access through contract pharmacies or requiring extra data as a condition of sale; safety-net hospitals, health centers, rural providers, and patients said it protects access and funds care, while manufacturers, employer groups, and some industry representatives argued the program lacks transparency, can raise costs, and should be narrowed. No final votes were taken in the excerpt, and the committee closed each hearing after testimony, with sign-in counts noted for several bills.
