House committee approves rules docket but rejects genetics code-of-ethics reference
Summary
The Idaho House Health and Welfare Committee approved a rules docket that updates state regulations but voted to remove a citation to the National Society of Genetic Counselors’ Code of Ethics, saying it does not align with Idaho law.
The Idaho House Health and Welfare Committee approved docket 20Four-two400 and 1201 on a voice vote but removed one specific cross-reference to an external code of ethics.
Committee Vice Chair Representative Rasor moved to approve docket number 20Four-two400 and 1201 “with the exception of the reference National Society of Genetic Counselors Code of Ethics section 2, Genetic Counselors and Their Clients number 3, which will be rejected because it does not align with Idaho code.” The motion was adopted by voice vote. The committee chair announced the motion carried after members signaled “aye.”
The change leaves the remainder of the docket intact while deleting the identified citation to the National Society of Genetic Counselors’ Code of Ethics. The committee did not read a roll-call tally in the record; the transcript reflects a unanimous voice vote with no recorded nay votes.
The committee did not discuss alternate language during the meeting and did not cite a specific Idaho statute to replace the rejected reference. No public testimony was offered on this docket item during the meeting.
