The Senate Finance Committee on April 29 moved a committee substitute for Senate Bill 137, which extends licensure boards for multiple professions, out of committee with attached and forthcoming fiscal notes and individual recommendations.
Senator Jesse Bjorkman, the bill's sponsor, said SB137 extends the boards for direct-entry midwives, nurses, parole, and the Board of Veterinary Examiners and follows recommendations from the state auditors for each board. The committee also adopted a committee substitute (CES) that includes the Board of Veterinary Examiners, the transcript shows. No amendments were submitted.
Senator Staseman moved the committee substitute from committee "with attached and forthcoming fiscal notes and individual recommendations." The motion carried with no objection; the committee recorded that the bill will move on to the rules committee for further consideration. The transcript does not include a roll-call vote.
The committee's recorded action was procedural: approval to forward the committee substitute with attached and forthcoming fiscal notes and recommendations, and referral to the rules committee. The transcript does not provide text of the substitute or details of the auditor recommendations; it records only the sponsor summary and the committee's procedural disposition.
