The Senate Committee on Health & Welfare voted unanimously, 5-0, to favorably pass H 31 and placed the bill on notice for Tuesday with plans to bring it to the full Senate on Wednesday.
The committee considered H 31 during its business session when an unidentified committee member moved “that the Senate Committee on Health & Welfare favorably pass H 31.” The clerk then called the roll. Senators who voted yes were Senator Khamis, Senator Douglas, Senator Hartford, Senator Gulliver and Senator Lyons. The clerk recorded a 5-0-0 tally and the committee chair announced the bill had passed the committee.
Committee members discussed next steps for the bill. A committee member said the measure would be posted on notice for Tuesday and scheduled for the floor on Wednesday. A separate committee member noted that a related bill is pending in the Government Operations Committee and said that he or she would present that measure next week. The transcript records a reference to a "doodle bill" that may also return to this committee for consideration; details were not specified.
The record shows that a doctor identified as Donna Fisher (referred to as “Dr. Fisher”) was expected to join by Zoom but had not yet appeared when the committee met; the committee indicated it would follow up on that absence.
No formal amendments, sponsors by name, or dates beyond the posted notice and floor scheduling were recorded in the transcript. The motion’s maker and a second were not identified by name in the transcript.
