Summary
The committee adopted amendments and sent HB 4036 to Ways & Means and moved HB 4123 and HB 4082 to the House floor with 'do pass' recommendations after roll call votes; HB 4036 included a $100 million funding ask to Ways & Means.
In a series of work‑session votes the House Committee on Housing and Homelessness advanced three bills.
House Bill 4036 (Housing Preservation): Committee staff described HB 4036 (dash‑2) to establish the Housing Opportunity Longevity and Durability Fund to preserve affordable housing at risk of loss and to require reporting by the Department of Housing and Community Services. Chair Marsh said the committee will ask Ways & Means to consider a $100,000,000 appropriation. Vice Chair Breese Iverson moved adoption of the dash‑2 amendments and then moved the bill to the floor with a 'do pass' recommendation and referral to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means by prior reference; a roll‑call vote recorded multiple 'aye' votes and Representative Wright was excused. Chair Marsh announced the motion passed and HB 4036 will go to Ways & Means.
House Bill 4123 (Tenant confidentiality): Staff said HB 4123 and its dash‑1 amendment add confidentiality protections for tenant and application information effective 90 days after adjournment and permit limited disclosures for maintenance contact details; the committee adopted the amendment and moved the bill to the floor with a 'do pass' recommendation after a roll call vote.
House Bill 4082 (Temporary additions / housing for older persons): The dash‑2 amendment clarified that statewide standards permitting prefabricated dwellings apply and maintained acreage caps from Senate Bill 1537 (100 acres for cities 25,000+; 50 acres for smaller cities). The committee adopted the amendment and moved HB 4082 to the floor with a 'do pass' recommendation after roll call.
All three motions passed by recorded voice or roll call as noted; Chair Marsh announced volunteers or carriers for floor consideration where applicable.
