The Senate Committee on Education K‑16 voted unanimously to report House Bill 367, which concerns verification of excused absences for public school students with severe or life‑threatening illnesses.

Sen. King moved to report the bill with the recommendation that it do pass; the clerk recorded 11 ayes and 0 nays. Sen. Campbell then moved that the bill be recommended for the local noncontested calendar; there was no objection.

The committee did not record extended debate on the bill during this session. The bill will move to the full Senate as recommended for the local and uncontested calendar.
