Senate Committee on Health & Human Services favorably reports a slate of House bills to the full Senate
Summary
At a meeting of the Senate Committee on Health & Human Services, members voted to favorably report multiple House bills to the full Senate, with several measures also recommended for the local and uncontested calendars. Votes were recorded as tallies by the clerk; no substantive debate is recorded in the transcript provided.
The Senate Committee on Health & Human Services voted to favorably report a series of House bills to the full Senate during a committee meeting recorded in the transcript (date not specified). Senator Perry moved the majority of the motions reported by the clerk.
The committee approved motions to report House Bill 1106 (motion moved by Senator Perry), House Bill 1403 (Senator Perry), House Bill 3284 (mover not clearly specified in the transcript), and several other bills. Reported tallies included: House Bill 1106 — 6 ayes, 2 nays; House Bill 1403 — 6 ayes, 2 nays; House Bill 3284 — 7 ayes, 1 nay. Multiple committee substitutes were also adopted and reported, including a committee substitute for House Bill 1586 (relating to regulation of mobile food vendors) and a committee substitute for House Bill 2844; both substitutes were supported and reported to the full Senate.
Several items were reported with unanimous or near-unanimous tallies. Committee substitutes and House bills that the transcript records as favorably reported with an 8-0 tally included the substitutes or bills for: House Bill 2851, House Bill 3151, House Bill 3749, House Bill 3940, the committee substitute for House Bill 3963 (which included a fiscal-responsibility amendment), House Bill 4454, House Bill 4466, House Bill 4795, and House Bill 5394. Where recorded, the clerk announced specific tallies; where the transcript fragments the roll call, the committee's announced result is reported rather than individual recorded votes.
The committee also recommended several bills for the "local and uncontested" or "local and noncontested" calendars, as the chair and members moved and the committee adopted those recommendations with no recorded objection in the transcript. The transcript does not include substantive floor debate, bill text summaries, or committee amendments beyond the clerk's announcements and the chair's procedural rulings.
No statutes, ordinances, or other legal authorities were cited in the portions of the transcript provided. The transcript records motions, roll-call responses, tallies, and final committee actions but does not capture explanatory remarks or extended discussion of bill content.
The bills and substitutes recorded as favorably reported will move to the full Senate for further action; the transcript does not record subsequent scheduling or floor calendar dates.
