Chair Ayesha Eisheide called the meeting to order at 10:20 a.m., confirmed a quorum, thanked staff (Cale Brown, Renzo Moises, Aaron Callahan) and announced three agenda items: HB 382 (JASC statute updates), SJR 30 (expressing gratitude to the U.S. military/supporting defense readiness), and HB 299 (veterans sentencing program).
The House Special Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs held a roughly hour-long meeting on April 23, 2026, advancing House Bill 382 (updates to the Joint Armed Services Committee) and House Bill 299 (a veterans sentencing program) out of committee and setting an amendment deadline for Senate Joint Resolution 30. The committee adopted several friendly amendments to HB 382, rejected several contested amendments by recorded roll call, and heard public testimony on SJR 30 and HB 299.
