Board forms two‑member legislative subcommittee to pursue policy work
Summary
The board created a two‑member legislative subcommittee and appointed Mina Yoon and Andy Yam to research potential legislation and report back; members noted the procedural advantage that two-member subcommittees do not require public posting for every meeting.
The California Board of Naturopathic Medicine on Oct. 4 created a two‑member legislative subcommittee to research potential legislation and report findings back to the full board.
President Dara Thompson named Board Member Mina Yoon and Public Member Andy Yam to the subcommittee. Thompson and staff explained that a two-member subcommittee can meet more flexibly to prepare background work and then present recommendations to the full board for formal action.
Thompson described the intended workflow: subcommittee members will coordinate with the executive officer and staff to identify legislative priorities, meet as needed, and bring substantive items back to the full board for consideration. Board members suggested the subcommittee could help the board prepare for its upcoming sunset review and identify statutory or regulatory changes that may be needed.
The board did not take a separate formal roll-call vote on the appointments; Thompson announced the subcommittee members and asked them to work with Rebecca to schedule meetings and brief the full board when appropriate.
