Senator wins waiver of public‑notice rule; joint hearing on SB 1528 set for Feb. 12
Summary
Senator San Buenaventura requested and the Senate presiding officer granted a waiver under Senate Rule 21 so the committees on Higher Education and Health and Human Services can hold a joint public hearing on SB 1528 on Feb. 12 at 1:30 p.m. in Conference Room 225; notice was filed in the clerk’s office the same day.
Senator San Buenaventura requested a waiver of the public‑notice requirement under Senate Rule 21 so the Senate committees on Higher Education (HRE) and Health and Human Services (HHS) could hold a joint public hearing on SB 1528.
"The reason for the waiver is that, both it's a joint hearing of HRE and HHS. Both chairs have signed it on Friday, but for some reason, it was inadvertently not filed on time," Senator San Buenaventura said. The presiding officer granted the waiver and the clerk filed the notice the same morning.
The chair announced the joint hearing will occur Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 1:30 p.m. in Conference Room 225. The transcript records the waiver being granted without further recorded objection.
The action was procedural: the waiver allowed a late notice to be accepted so the scheduled hearing may proceed. The transcript does not include details about the contents of SB 1528 or whether additional testimony will be solicited; those details, if provided, will appear on the hearing notice and committee materials.
The hearing notice was filed in the clerk’s office the day of the session, according to the clerk’s announcement.
