The Idaho Senate Health and Welfare Committee on Tuesday voted to send three gubernatorial appointments to the full Senate with recommendations that each nominee be confirmed.
The committee voted by voice to forward the reappointment of BJ Singer to the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired, the appointment of Trevor Sparrow as ombudsman for the Office of Health and Social Services, and the reappointment of Elizabeth Ellroy to the Board of Environmental Quality.
Committee members moved and seconded each nomination in short proceedings. Senator Melissa Wintrow moved the reappointment of BJ Singer; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Senator Blaylock moved the appointment of Trevor Sparrow; that motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Senator Wintrow moved the reappointment of Elizabeth Ellroy; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
