Jenna, committee staff, described House Bill 2027 as a technical cleanup to KSA 39-709, which relates to public assistance programs in the state. Senator Blasey moved that the committee pass House Bill 2027 and “roll for passage.” Senator Thompson seconded the motion.

Senator Petty raised a procedural concern, saying the bill was not listed among items members expected to take final action on that day and that advance notice helps members prepare amendments. The committee chair responded that changes had been required earlier in the day because of adjustments between the House and Senate and that HB2027 was a standalone cleanup bill suitable for immediate action. After brief discussion, the committee approved the motion by voice vote: “All in favor of passing out 2027 favorably for passage, please say aye. Opposed, no? Okay, it is passed.”

The committee recorded no roll-call tally in the transcript. The chair then adjourned the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Committee on Public Health and Welfare 03/04/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Public Health and Welfare Committee voted to pass House Bill 2027, a technical cleanup to KSA 39-709 related to public assistance programs.

Jenna, committee staff and bill presenter, described the compact’s purpose as facilitating interstate practice of dietetics to improve public access to dietetic services. She summarized definitions, member-state participation criteria, licensee eligibility requirements, provisions for designating a home state (including special rules for active-duty military and their spouses), disciplinary and adverse-action processes, the establishment of a Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission, a coordinated data system, rulemaking authority, and the commission’s dispute-resolution procedures.

Jenna said the commission becomes effective when seven states adopt the compact and noted that, as of January, four states had passed the dietitian compact. Lieutenant Colonel Keith Marshall of the Adjutant General’s Department testified in support, reiterating the compact’s benefit for military families and licensure portability under the 2023 Military Spouse Licensing Relief Act. William Wilk of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce also offered proponent testimony.

Committee member Senator Clifford questioned the witness about written opponent testimony that raised a concern the compact could allow someone not eligible to work in the U.S. to practice. William Wilk responded that a practitioner must first obtain a home-state license, and that obtaining a state license typically requires lawful work authorization or citizenship under state licensing procedures. Senator Clifford acknowledged that explanation.

The committee closed the hearing on House Bill 2070 without taking final action. Committee leadership said compact bills will be scheduled for further work and possible final action at upcoming sessions.","The Public Health and Welfare Committee heard House Bill 2070 to create an interstate Dietitian Licensure Compact.

Jenna, committee staff and bill presenter, outlined the bill’s provisions, saying the compact’s purpose is to “facilitate interstate practice of school psychology in educational or school settings and improve the availability of school psychological services to the public.” She reviewed definitions, member-state participation criteria, licensee eligibility, commission powers, a coordinated data system, rulemaking authority, disciplinary procedures, and the compact’s effective date once the seventh state enacts it.

Lieutenant Colonel Keith Marshall of the Adjutant General’s Department testified in support, saying the legislation continues implementation of the federal Military Spouse Licensing Relief Act of 2023 by improving licensure portability for military spouses and easing employment as families move between states. William Wilk, representing the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, also offered proponent testimony, saying the chamber’s military and veterans affairs council backed the compact to streamline licensing for military spouses.

Jenna told the committee the compact allows a “home state” license to convey practice privileges in other member states, establishes an interstate commission to adopt implementation rules, and becomes effective when seven states enact the compact. She noted the only amendments to the bill were typographical corrections.

No committee members moved a final action on House Bill 2069 during the hearing. Committee leadership said they intend to work compact bills in upcoming committee sessions and urged members to prepare amendments ahead of those meetings.

The hearing closed without a vote.","The Public Health and Welfare Committee opened a hearing on House Bill 2069, which would enact an interstate licensure compact to allow school psychologists to practice across member states. Proponents said the compact supports military families and increases access to school psychological services; no formal vote was taken.","actionData","errors"]
