Committee advances S.18 and S.30 with technical amendments and new effective date for S.30
Summary
The House Healthcare Committee approved amendments to S.18 (draft 1.3) and S.30, restoring inadvertently dropped policy language and changing S.30's effective date to Sept. 1, 2025; both measures were advanced by voice or roll call with committee members recorded as in favor.
The House Healthcare Committee on April 3 took up two additional bills and advanced both with amendments.
S.18: Committee members reviewed draft 1.3 and accepted the amendments, including language that had been edited earlier in the day. The committee conducted a straw poll and then a roll call; members recorded their support and the motion to advance S.18 passed. Committee counsel indicated no substantive changes since the morning review and said they would provide a clean copy.
S.30: The committee examined a rewrite of chapter 8 (noted in discussion as chapter 107) and approved three instances of amendment: restoring inadvertently dropped standard policy provisions, restoring a phrase in a standard optional policy provision, and striking the original effective date and replacing it with an effective date of Sept. 1, 2025. Committee members took a straw poll and a subsequent roll call; the clerk recorded 11 yes votes and the committee passed S.30 as amended. The committee nominated a reporter to carry the bill forward and asked legislative counsel to circulate color‑coded and clean drafts for member review.
Both measures were advanced to be reported out of committee; committee members asked for final edited drafts and supporting memos before formal reporting.
