Bills: S0086, S0422, S0706, S1054, S1670
Summary: The Senate Committee on Transportation met and considered several bills, beginning with CS/SB 86 on commercial motor vehicles operated by unauthorized aliens. The sponsor described the bill as a highway safety measure requiring commercial drivers to be lawfully present, hold a valid CDL, read English, and communicate with law enforcement, with vehicle impoundment, civil penalties, and out-of-service orders for violations. After questions about impacts on carriers and interstate operations, the committee adopted an amendment and reported the bill favorably, with one no vote. The committee then heard CS/SB 706, which would preempt naming of major commercial service airports to the state and rename Palm Beach International Airport as Donald J. Trump International Airport. An amendment added FAA approval, trademark authorization, and a flexible implementation period for Palm Beach County; county representatives supported the amendment and bill. The committee also approved CS/SB 1670 on the Outsider specialty license plate after an amendment reduced the Huber Brothers Foundation’s share of proceeds from 25% to 10%. Next, the committee considered CS/SB 1054, dealing with traffic infractions resulting in crashes with another vehicle. The bill would impose escalating fines and license suspensions for crashes caused by running red lights or stop signs, and require bodily injury insurance for a year when injury results. A clarifying amendment limited the insurance requirement to one year, and the bill was reported favorably after supportive testimony from law enforcement and advocacy groups. The final major bill was CS/SB 422 on automated dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) data; it would bar use of ADS-B information to calculate or collect certain landing-related fees. Supporters argued the technology should remain focused on aviation safety and warned against false invoices and discouraging pilot training, while airport representatives said they currently use the data for fee collection and wanted further discussion. After an amendment narrowing the bill’s application, the committee reported CS/SB 422 favorably. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary: The Senate Aeronautics and Transportation Committee heard several memorial highway and bridge designation bills and one substantive aviation/tax bill. The committee advanced SB 1323 (Marty Grisham memorial signage), SB 1863 (John Skelly Memorial Highway), SB 1932 (allowing a trucking company owner or other designated representative to appear without a lawyer in certain Corporation Commission administrative hearings), SB 1956 (Captain David Ward Neely Memorial Highway), SB 1970 (Private Earl Maggerton Memorial Bridge), and SB 1599 (Arlen Francis Wetzel Memorial Bridge). These measures were generally presented as honorary designations or procedural changes, with brief questions mainly about mileage or fiscal impact, and they all passed committee by voice or roll-call votes. The most extensive discussion centered on SB 1950, which would prohibit government entities or private vendors from using ADS-B aircraft tracking data to calculate, generate, or collect fees. Supporters argued that using the federally required safety system for fee collection encourages pilots to turn off ADS-B, undermining air safety, and said airports can collect fees through other methods. Opponents and committee members raised concerns that the bill could hinder lawful tax and fee collection, including aircraft excise taxes and landing fees, and that it might reduce revenue for airports and the state. After testimony from the bill author, an aviation association representative, and the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics director, the committee laid the bill over at the author’s request. The committee also heard SB 1312, which would have allowed owners of electric and hybrid vehicles to prepay the annual road-use fee over time rather than paying it in one lump sum. The author said the goal was to reduce the burden on low-income drivers and small businesses, but concerns were raised about fiscal impact and implementation. After title was stricken to allow further work, the bill failed on a 5-6 vote. The chair also announced that some items would be laid over and that the committee would not meet the following week.

House Judiciary

Bills: HB294, SB40, SB43, SB35
Summary: The committee first briefly discussed House Bill 95, which would create an additional judgeship in the Second Judicial District. Members noted it was being aligned with the Senate version so the House and Senate bills would match. An amendment was adopted to also include the new First Judicial District judgeship that had been added earlier in the session, and the bill then received a do pass recommendation as amended. The committee then heard Senate Bill 23, which would require school districts and charter schools to adopt and implement policies banning wireless communication devices during the school day, with exceptions for educational purposes, emergencies, and health care needs. The sponsors and Public Education Department officials said the bill was intended to reduce classroom distractions, improve student focus and mental health, and support teachers, and the Office of Broadband explained that $1 million from an existing education technology fund would help schools implement storage solutions such as lockers or pouches. Supporters included representatives from New Mexico Kids Can, Albuquerque Public Schools, and the Higher Education Department; there was no opposition testimony. Committee members raised concerns about the bill’s definition of “school day,” the three-year phase-in, local control, and whether the funding and storage requirements were necessary. After debate, the committee adopted a motion to strike Section 4, which contained the phase-in schedule, and then voted to report the bill do pass as amended. Members also discussed whether the bill should be more direct and immediate, but sponsors said the phased approach and funding were intended to improve chances of passage and implementation. Finally, the committee heard Senate Bill 246, which would add licensure and inspection requirements for massage therapy establishments to address safety, sanitation, and concerns about illegal activity such as prostitution and human trafficking. The sponsor and Regulation and Licensing Department said the bill would close a regulatory gap and allow inspections of establishments, while the massage therapy industry supported the rulemaking being left to the board. Members questioned the breadth of the bill, including inspection timing, the impact on legitimate businesses, and language that could unintentionally bar people from licensure for past conduct. The committee worked through amendments to narrow those provisions, including adding “for compensation” and limiting certain denial language to conduct after the bill’s effective date, and the sponsor accepted those changes.

House - Judiciary Feb 7th, 2026

House Judiciary

Summary: The committee first heard two related House Joint Resolutions sponsored by Representative McQueen. H.J.R. 6 would equalize the legislature’s 60-day and 30-day sessions into two 45-day sessions, remove the germaneness requirement from the second session of a biennium, and clarify veto-override language. H.J.R. 7 would keep the current 60-day and 30-day session lengths but make the same germaneness and veto-override changes. Supporters argued the measures would modernize the legislature, improve internal control of the agenda, and make the flow of work more efficient; opponents warned of more bills, lobbying fatigue, and reduced public participation. Both resolutions were moved on due pass and passed the committee 8-0. The committee then heard House Bill 120 on limiting student restraint and seclusion in schools. The sponsor and LESC staff said the bill arose from a stakeholder working group and would clarify definitions, prohibit dangerous practices such as mechanical, chemical, and prone restraint, require training and school safety plans, improve reporting to parents and the Public Education Department, and strengthen oversight. Testimony from educators, disability advocates, parents, and state officials strongly supported the bill, describing harmful and sometimes underreported restraint and seclusion incidents and emphasizing the need for clearer rules and de-escalation training. Some members raised concerns about implementation, definitions, teacher safety, and whether the data were sufficient; the sponsor and staff said the bill was meant to give teachers tools and minimum standards, not to require intervention in every situation. The bill passed on a due pass motion 9-1. Next, the committee considered House Bill 60, which would add certain crimes against peace officers to the Victims of Crime Act so officers injured in the line of duty would receive the same notification, participation, and restitution-related rights as other victims. The sponsor and the district attorney supporting the bill said it was a public safety measure with negligible cost and would also extend protections to affected family members. Support came from law enforcement, business, and public safety groups. Members asked about whether the officer must know the assailant is a peace officer, how the rights would work if the officer is also a witness, and how restitution interacts with workers’ compensation; the sponsor said the bill applies when the officer is acting in the lawful discharge of duties and the defendant knows the person is an officer. The committee passed HB 60 unanimously, 11-0. Finally, the committee began hearing House Bill 151, a committee substitute on the childhood sexual abuse statute of limitations. The sponsor said the bill, called the Survivor’s Justice measure, would extend the time for survivors to file claims from age 24 to age 58, add public actors to the bill’s scope, and create an administrative compensation fund supported by an appropriation, with $12.5 million already in the budget and a request for another $12.5 million. The sponsor explained that the change reflects the average age at which survivors come forward and that the bill is part of a long-running effort to address childhood sexual abuse claims.

Summary: The committee heard a series of transportation-related Senate bills, beginning with memorial naming measures and then moving into funding, licensing, and safety proposals. Senate Bill 1220, naming the Terry Walker Memorial Interchange, and Senate Bill 1516, allowing Real ID applicants to donate to the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs through Service Oklahoma forms, both advanced on 10-2 votes after brief questions about funding and where donations would go. Senate Bill 1239, which extends the sunset for County Improvements for Roads and Bridges Fund appropriations and cleans up duplicate statutory language, advanced after title was stricken and members raised questions about reporting requirements and a possible conflict in the funding language. Senate Bill 1531, an ODAA request related to future drone regulation, advanced unanimously after title was stricken. The committee also considered several road and licensing measures. Senate Bill 1349 would increase apportionments to the Roads Fund over eight years up to $1 billion; members questioned the long-term commitment, inflation, and overlap with other road-funding bills, but it advanced 10-2. Senate Bill 1221 would let Service Oklahoma provide tracking for mailed driver’s licenses and IDs and offer optional expedited delivery; after Service Oklahoma testified that refunds would be issued if expedited service was not provided, the bill advanced unanimously. Senate Bill 1538, reinstating the requirement to pass or show proof of an eighth-grade reading exam to obtain a driver’s license, advanced 11-1 after discussion of the literacy goal and the employment-based exemption. The committee then approved Senate Bill 1309, which raises from $80 million to $100 million the amount reserved from Roads Fund apportionments for debt service, on a unanimous vote. The most debated measure was Senate Bill 1434, which would authorize automated speed enforcement in highway construction zones with warning signs, limited image retention, independent audits, and penalties for noncompliance; supporters argued it would save workers’ lives, while opponents raised privacy and future-use concerns and suggested officer-based enforcement instead. Despite those objections, the bill advanced 7-5. The meeting ended with a notice that Senator Merrick’s bill, SB 1861, would be laid over.

Summary: The committee heard testimony on Senate Bill 5925, which would expand the Attorney General’s authority to issue civil investigative demands in investigations involving constitutional violations, law enforcement use of force and tactics, the Keep Washington Working Act, wage laws, discrimination, and jail-related issues. The prime sponsor and Attorney General’s office said the bill would give the AGO more effective investigative tools without creating new enforcement authority, while labor and civil rights supporters said it would speed investigations into wage theft and discrimination. Opponents from law enforcement, cities, counties, and retail groups argued the bill was too broad, lacked sufficient guardrails, could burden public agencies and businesses, and raised constitutional concerns, especially around speech restrictions and the scope of the Attorney General’s power. Public testimony on SB 5925 then closed, and the committee moved on to the next bill. The committee then heard Senate Bill 5906, which would codify and expand protections against immigration enforcement in non-public areas of schools, child care facilities, health care facilities, higher education institutions, and county auditor spaces where ballots are handled. Supporters, including immigrant-rights, faith, student, and parent advocates, said the bill would reduce fear, protect privacy, and keep families engaged in education, health care, and civic life. Health care and early learning groups generally supported the goal but asked for clearer definitions, model policies, training, and more workable implementation language. The bill drew substantial public support and opposition testimony was not presented in the excerpt; the committee later noted 3,725 pro, 2,147 con, and 22 other sign-ins before moving on. The committee also heard Senate Bill 6070, which would expand missing-person response tools by allowing certain investigative technologies in missing-endangered-person cases, creating new alerts for missing Black people and people with disabilities, and broadening the definition of missing endangered person. The sponsor and supporters, including prosecutors, law enforcement, families, disability advocates, and students, said the bill would help recover missing people faster and address racial and disability-related disparities in alert systems. Testifiers described personal experiences with delayed responses and the need for an Ebony Alert and Purple Alert. Law enforcement supported the bill and requested a related administrative change to transfer the missing persons website to the State Patrol. The committee then moved to Senate Bill 6002, a bill to regulate automated license plate readers, with staff explaining it would set registration, use, retention, and privacy rules, including limits on immigration-related use and restrictions near sensitive locations; the sponsor and ranking member framed it as a privacy and civil liberties measure, and the committee began hearing questions and testimony on that bill.

Summary: The committee first heard Senate Bill 5901, which would change the school construction assistance program so that instructional space on military bases is excluded from a district’s available space inventory when calculating state construction aid. Staff said the bill would help districts such as Clover Park and Medical Lake, where on-base schools can reduce eligibility for state funding even though that space is not available to the broader district. Senator Christian and supporters from OSPI and the affected districts said the measure would prevent local taxpayers from bearing extra costs and could unlock significant renovation funding; no opposition was presented during the hearing. The committee then held an executive session on two bills. Senate Bill 5922, concerning transfers from transportation vehicle funds when districts reduce their fleets, was recommended “do pass” to the Rules Committee. Senate Bill 585, concerning pupil transportation safety net awards for excess costs serving special passengers, was recommended “do pass” to the Ways and Means Committee. Both motions passed by voice vote subject to signatures. Next, the committee heard Senate Bill 5860 on school board compensation and training. The bill would raise director pay from $50 to $100 per day, increase the annual cap, allow child care costs to be reimbursed for meeting attendance, require periodic review of compensation levels, and direct WASDA to provide fiscal and finance training for directors. Supporters argued the current compensation is outdated and that higher pay and child care support would broaden participation and improve board diversity; opponents and some testifiers raised concerns about using levy funds, the added cost, and whether the training should be mandatory, while others said financial training is important for board oversight. Finally, the committee heard Senate Bill 5956 on artificial intelligence, student discipline, and surveillance, and Senate Bill 5574 on instruction in Asian American, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Latino American, and Black American history. SB 5956 would bar schools from using automated decision systems or surveillance technology as the sole basis for discipline or risk scoring, limit biometric and law-enforcement data sharing, and require updated OSPI guidance and a WSSDA model policy; testimony largely supported guardrails to prevent bias and misuse. SB 5574’s substitute would require districts to include those histories in required social studies courses on a timeline tied to the state standards review cycle, with annual reporting beginning in 2030; many educators, students, and community members testified in support, saying the bill would make curriculum more complete, reduce bullying and exclusion, and better reflect Washington’s diverse communities.
