Committee advances House Bill 200 to floor to move pharmacy rules into statute
Summary
Representative Jordan Redmond presented House Bill 200, part of a multi-year effort to migrate Department of Health and Welfare rules into statute; the committee approved sending the bill to the House floor with a due-pass recommendation by voice vote.
Representative Jordan Redmond, who represents District 3 in Kootenai County, presented House Bill 200 as part of a two-year migration of administrative rules into statute. Redmond said the measure follows prior action (he referenced House Bill 527 from the previous year) and is intended to preserve existing policy while restoring lawmaking authority to elected legislators.
"It does not expand practice authority. It does not shrink it. It imposes no new burdens and will not change practice," Redmond said, summarizing the sponsor's intent that the bill make no substantive policy changes but rather move existing rule provisions into statute.
Representative Healy moved to send House Bill 200 to the floor with a due-pass recommendation. No members of the public spoke for or against the bill during the committee hearing. The motion passed by voice vote and the chair recorded the due-pass recommendation.
