Chair opened the meeting, noted a quorum and called Representative Johnny Rye to present House Bill 13‑13, described as a "capital protection" bill to protect the State Capitol and Governor's Mansion by creating misdemeanor and felony penalties tied to damage thresholds ($500–$2,500 and above). Representative Johnny Rye introduced the penalty tiers and asked for questions; committee moved a do‑pass and passed the bill by voice vote.
Senate Judiciary Committee convened to consider multiple bills including protections for the state capitol, changes to penalties for attacks on corrections staff, temporary guardianship authority, child-support filing restrictions, an attorney-general enforcement mechanism for girls' sports participation rules, definitions expanding "critical infrastructure," and a contentious daycare-notification bill that was withdrawn after debate. The committee passed several bills and set others aside for revision or further briefing.
