Senate committee reports bill extending Board of Veterinary Examiners to 2031; motion carried without objection
Summary
The Senate Labor and Commerce Committee voted to report Senate Bill 98 (version 34 LS0577A.alpha) out of committee with individual recommendations and an attached fiscal note. The bill would extend the termination date of the State Board of Veterinary Examiners to June 30, 2031.
Staff to Senator Bjorkman, Matthew Churchill, gave a brief recap of Senate Bill 98 on Feb. 19, reminding the Senate Labor and Commerce Committee that the bill seeks to extend the statutory termination date of the State Board of Veterinary Examiners by six years to June 30, 2031.
Churchill said committee members had heard invited testimony on Feb. 17 from board members and stakeholders, and he noted interested parties present in the hearing room. After opening the floor for public testimony for SB 98 and hearing none, a committee member moved to report SB 98, version 34 LS0577A.alpha, from committee with individual recommendations and the attached fiscal note. The motion was adopted without objection; the committee clerk reported the bill "moves from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note." The transcript records no roll-call vote; the motion carried by voice with no objection recorded.
No further committee discussion or questions were recorded on the bill at the Feb. 19 meeting, and the committee adjourned. The committee noted it will reconvene on Feb. 24.
