Subcommittee adopts amendment and advances maternal mortality review bill with unanimous recommendation
Summary
The full subcommittee adopted an amendment to Senate Bill 182 that renames and makes procedural changes to the maternal mortality review committee; the measure was reported out with a unanimous recommendation to include it on the consent calendar.
The House Executive Departments and Administration full subcommittee adopted an amendment (20252328h) to Senate Bill 182, which would change the name and some data-collection and membership provisions of the state maternal mortality review committee. The chair moved the amendment and Representative Sellers seconded.
The amendment removes an earlier proposal to add a Department of Corrections member to the panel and clarifies the committee’s name to align with federal terminology. The amendment also includes revisions intended to improve the committee’s operational procedures, including rules for outreach so family members and close contacts may be contacted in reviews.
When the clerk called the roll on adoption of the amendment, the committee recorded a unanimous vote in favor (14–0). On a subsequent roll call for the committee recommendation on SB 182 (on OTPA), members again voted unanimously in favor; the item was placed on the consent calendar.
Action recorded: adoption of amendment 20252328h to SB 182 and committee recommendation of OTPA; both recorded as unanimous by roll call and placed on consent calendar.
