• H.B. 436 Moderate Income Housing Infrastructure Amendments · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Explains that the bill adds a pathway giving transportation priority consideration to cities whose housing supply grows 2.5% or more, with the adjustment capped at 7% and core scoring factors still dominant.

  Read what they said

  Thanks Mr. President. This bill is a fairly simple policy adjustment and I wanna emphasize adjustment. Um, but I I want to briefly explain, uh, why it's important. First, the bill does not rewrite the transportation prioritization system that the Transportation Commission uses. They have their underlying formula that does not touch that, that does the lion's share When I, it probably doesn't even do it just to say it does the lions share. Most all priority is given under that formula. What the bill does do is add an additional pathway, uh, for communities that are actually producing housing. And this is how it, it does it Specifically, if a city increases it's housing by, by supply by 2.5% …

  Responds that rural areas have separate funds such as the TTF, and that the adjustment is marginal, capped at 7%, and could act as a tiebreaker between closely ranked projects.

  Read what they said

  There are of course priority funding that is, is that is especially like the TTF for the rural areas. And, and so I recognize that, that this may give additional concern. But again, I point out that there are specific funds that are available for those more rural areas. But I would just, I would just answer this by saying if a city is truly experiencing a 2.5% growth, which is a significant growth, they are going to stand in need of greater transportation needs on an immediate basis. That's, that's the idea behind it. But I want to clarify, and I, I, I did this in my, uh, kind of my presentation, but I, I think it can't, it …

  Summarizes that the bill is sound policy and that the movement it allows is marginal, mainly a tiebreaker between closely ranked projects.

  Read what they said

  I, I I I, I understand those concerns and I, I recognize 'em, but I also recognize of when I see sound policy, I wanna support it. And this is sound policy. There's where you have two and a half percent growth or greater, the need for, uh, for transportation is greater. That being said, this is such a marginal, small amount of movement. We're not talking about it leapfrogging in any kind of significant way. It's really almost viewed maybe as a tiebreaker, um, as it pertains to two municipalities that may be just head against the head under the prioritization list. That would be it. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you.

  Presents H.B. 582, saying it limits asbestos testing requirements for residential properties of four or fewer units, exempts homes built on or before January 1, 1992, and keeps oversight for older structures and for planned renovation, demolition, or disposal projects.

  Read what they said

  Thanks Mr. President. Um, this bill refines the conditions under which testing for asbestos or related materials is required on residential properties with four or fewer units under the bill. The relevant regulatory board cannot require asbestos inspections on properties built on or before January 1st, 1992. Streamlining the requirements for newer homes, the bill still allows asbe rules when there's a planned renovation, demolition or disposal project that could disturb asbe of materials, protecting workers and public, uh, safety where risk is greatest by narrowing regulatory authority. Um, this bill prevents the board from imposing one size fits all inspections that could burden homeowners with little to no risk.
