On Jan. 28, 2026 the Arizona House, in Committee of the Whole, recommended HB2074 (mandatory-reporting changes related to a ban on partial-birth abortion) and HB2148 (a transparency bill) do pass as amended; both measures were ordered to engrossing by voice vote.
PHOENIX — The Arizona House, meeting Jan. 28, 2026, adopted the Committee of the Whole’s report recommending two bills be advanced for engrossing.
House Bill 2074: The Committee of the Whole recommended HB2074 as amended. Sponsor Representative Fink said the bill "expands mandatory reporting requirements" tied to an existing Arizona prohibition on the procedure described in the bill; opponents, including House Minority Leader De Los Santos, said it would impose criminal liability on a broad category of hospital workers and could expose women to civil or criminal penalties. The committee’s due-pass recommendation was announced by voice vote and the House ordered HB2074 to engrossing.
House Bill 2148: The Appropriations Committee reported HB2148 as amended with a due-pass recommendation. Representative Griffin described it as "a transparency bill," and members adopted the Appropriations amendment by voice vote. HB2148 was likewise ordered to engrossing.
Both measures were reported out of the Committee of the Whole and assigned to engrossing; the House adjourned and will reconvene at 10 a.m. on Jan. 29, 2026 for further business.
