House reconsiders, then concurs in amendment to allow licensed nurses in independent schools to use intranasal epinephrine
Summary
On May 23 the Vermont House suspended rules to permit immediate reconsideration of H.209 (intranasal epinephrine in schools) and then concurred in the Senate proposal of amendment with a further amendment that explicitly assures inclusion of licensed nurses working in independent schools.
The Vermont House on May 23 voted to suspend rules and permit immediate reconsideration of H.209, "an act relating to intranasal epinephrine in schools," after a floor member said the House had not heard the full text of a further amendment prior to an earlier vote. The motion to suspend rules carried, and the House then returned to the question and concurred in the Senate proposal of amendment with a further amendment.
The further amendment offered by the member from Glover "assures inclusion of licensed nurses working in independent schools," the floor sponsor said, and committee testimony reported the committee voted unanimously in favor of that amendment and encouraged the body's support. The House voice vote on concurrence returned in the affirmative.
No additional changes to the bill text were announced on the floor beyond the further amendment that clarifies licensing coverage for nurses in independent schools. The House's procedural motion and subsequent concurrence put the bill back on a path consistent with the Senate amendment and the House'offered further amendment.
Ending
The floor action resolved the procedural issue raised by the member from Cornwall and recorded the body's concurrence with the amendment ensuring covered licensed nurses in independent schools.
