Charlotte Persephone Hoffman, policy committee advisor, reviewed recent and upcoming bill hearings at the Policy Committee meeting on Jan. 23, 2026, and highlighted two items that need member attention.

Committee members discussed HB63, described in the meeting as a sponsor-only bill, and noted that written testimony is due Feb. 3, 2026. The committee did not record a formal vote on testimony preparation during this session.
