Committee advances four bills in executive session with due‑pass recommendations
Summary
In executive session the Senate Health & Long Term Care Committee recommended "due pass" for four bills — on health‑information disclosure for care coordination, license disciplinary authority, prosthetic/orthotics coverage, and healthcare professional well‑being programs — and sent them to the Rules Committee.
During the committee’s executive session, members voted to advance four bills by recommending a “due pass” to the Rules Committee.
The committee received staff briefings on each bill before votes. Staff summarized House Bill 12 87 as addressing disclosure of health information for care coordination; House Bill 16 40 as placing licenses issued under chapters 18.71b and 18.71c RCW under the Uniform Disciplinary Act; Substitute House Bill 16 69 concerning coverage requirements for prosthetic limbs and custom orthotic braces; and Engrossed Substitute House Bill 17 18 relating to well‑being programs for certain healthcare professionals.
For each bill a committee member moved that the bill receive a due‑pass recommendation to Rules. Following the moves and a request for discussion, committee members orally voted and the chair announced each bill "passed subject to signatures." The transcript records the standard oral aye/nay voice votes, without individual roll‑call tallies in the public hearing record.
The committee then exited executive session and resumed public hearings on other agenda items. The transcript records no further amendments or changes to those bills in the executive session portion shown.
