Senators adopted an amendment to House Bill 4 27 restoring parents' ability to opt out of automated notifications about minors' account connections; the amendment was adopted 26–9 and the bill later passed the Senate 35–0 as amended.

Representative Amadee's HB 948, meant to codify parental authority over non‑emergency medical decisions for minors, drew strong support from families and conservative groups and concerted opposition from pediatricians, hospitals, and forensic nurses who warned of conflicts with mandatory reporting and risks to child safety; the committee voluntarily deferred the bill.

The Senate Commerce Committee reported House Bill 9 77 favorably after a day of testimony. Supporters say the measure would let parents control app downloads via an "age signal" from app stores; Google and the Developers Alliance warned it would burden small developers, raise privacy issues and could face constitutional challenges.

House Bill 977 would require verifiable age signals, parental accounts and consent for minors on app stores, with enforcement by the attorney general. Supporters pitched safeguards and enforcement; privacy groups and app developers warned about data collection risks, operational burdens and the lack of a private right of action. The committee adopted amendment set 3,154 and reported the bill favorably.

Senators debate ensuring parents can access their children's medical records under new bill.
