Senate Health and Welfare committee advances gubernatorial reappointment to Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired

The Senate Health and Welfare Committee voted to send the gubernatorial reappointment of Brett Rabinheimer to the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired to the full Senate with a recommendation for confirmation.

The committee chair asked for a motion to consider the reappointment; Senator Wintrow moved to send the nomination to the Senate floor with recommendation for confirmation, and Senator Bierke seconded. The committee approved the motion by voice vote.

The committee did not record a roll-call tally during the voice vote and no members spoke in opposition during the discussion recorded in the transcript.

The committee moved immediately on to other agenda items after approving the reappointment. No additional conditions or amendments to the recommendation were proposed on the record.

The committee’s action sends the nomination to the full Senate for its consideration; the transcript records the committee’s recommendation but does not show the Senate floor outcome.

Ending: The committee chair closed the item and proceeded to administrative rule dockets and other agenda business.
