Democratic caucus reviews bill to continue health-related state boards; emergency clause would need 40 votes
Summary
House Bill 2313 would continue multiple state health and professional licensing boards and contains an emergency clause that the presenter said would require 40 votes.
During a Democratic caucus meeting, Magali, staff member, summarized House Bill 2313 and the changes imposed by a Senate strike-everything amendment. "The bill before you contains an emergency clause which will require 40 votes," Magali said.
The bill, as described to caucus members, continues several state boards and commissions, including the Governor's Regulatory Review Council, the Board of Clemency, the Massage Therapy Board, the State Board of Respiratory Care Examiners, the Board of Osteopathic Examiners, the State Board of Dental Examiners and the Property Tax Oversight Commission. Magali said the Senate amendment retitled the measure to focus on health boards and state agencies' continuations and that additional, more detailed changes are listed on the caucus consent sheet.
Magali told members the sponsor would concur with the Senate amendment and made herself available for questions. No formal vote or final action on HB 2313 was recorded in the caucus discussion.
The discussion focused on the content of the Senate strike-everything amendment and the procedural note that an emergency clause would raise the bill's threshold for enactment to 40 votes in the House. Caucus members did not ask follow-up questions during the segment recorded in the transcript.
The caucus adjourned after completing the calendar items; no committee or floor action was taken on HB 2313 during this caucus meeting.
