March 3, 2026

Rep. Tom Dent, R-Moses Lake, joined the KIT Radio morning hosts to provide an update on his legislation awaiting a vote in the Senate. Dent discussed House Bill 2619 that would create a task force to review and recommend all the regulations that may contribute to the stress and mental health issues for agricultural producers. He also touched House Bill 2109 that would allow vehicles to be covered to prevent the debris from falling or coming off the vehicle, rather than having to clean the debris off before towing, and his work on the luxury aircraft tax.

Dent also talked about the House operating budget and the Medicaid reductions despite the increase in spending.
