House Rules Committee reports bills on father-involvement campaign and reverse-mortgage counseling
Summary
The House Rules Committee voted to report two bills: one to create a public awareness campaign on father involvement and another to require face-to-face counseling for reverse mortgage applicants; the package passed unanimously, 33-0.
The House Rules Committee moved two bills forward Wednesday, reporting legislation to create a public awareness campaign on the benefits of father involvement for maternal and child health and a separate bill that would require face-to-face counseling for applicants of reverse mortgage loans, and the package passed unanimously. Secretary called the roll and the committee reported the package by a vote of 33-0.
The bills were presented as a single package. House Bill 1212, Printer's No. 1935, provides for a public awareness campaign on the benefits of father involvement for maternal and child health. House Bill 1466, Printer's No. 1973, would require face-to-face counseling for applicants of reverse mortgage loans. According to the committee record, there was no substantive floor debate after the items were moved for reporting.
A Republican member stated, "The Republicans will support the package." No further public discussion or amendments were recorded in the committee on these measures before the roll call.
The action taken was a committee report to the full House; the committee record does not show a final House vote or any implementation details beyond reporting the bills. The committee chair moved to report the package and the secretary called the roll. The committee's formal record lists the outcome as reported by a unanimous 33-0 vote.
