Committee introduces resolutions on temporary rules and rejected genetic-counselor rules
Summary
Representative Marco Erickson introduced RS 32,473 to approve temporary rules from the Department of Health and Welfare and RS 32,474 to reflect the committee’s previous rejection of parts of genetic-counselor licensing rules.
Representative Marco Erickson asked the House Health and Welfare Committee to introduce two separate measures related to administrative rules.
Erickson, who identified himself as representing District 33 (Idaho Falls), said RS 32,473 is a concurrent resolution to approve temporary rules previously adopted by the Department of Health and Welfare and the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensure. He described the item as a housekeeping action to record and approve rules the committee had already handled earlier in the session.
Erickson also introduced RS 32,474, which he said reflects the committee’s prior action rejecting a portion of rules from the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensure concerning licensing for genetic counselors and the licensing board. During the committee, Representative Rubel moved to introduce RS 32,473 and Representative Rasor moved to introduce RS 32,474; both motions were approved by voice vote and the chair recorded the resolutions as introduced. The transcript contains an instance where the number was spoken as “RS 3,273” during the motion; the committee record identifies the intended measure as RS 32,473.
Both items were introduced for committee consideration; no substantive statutory change was enacted at the meeting. The committee chair later encouraged members to move any bills they considered urgent so the chamber could meet the session schedule target of finishing by March 21.
