Committee adopts substitutes and reports two health bills to the House floor
Summary
The House Health Policy Committee adopted H-1 substitutes and reported House Bills 40-37 and 40-38 to the floor with recommendations; Representative Preston's amendment adding a six-year patient access query to the health data utility was adopted for HB 40-37.
The House Health Policy Committee voted to adopt H-1 substitute language and to report House Bills 40-37 and 40-38 to the full House with recommendation.
On House Bill 40-37: Representative Meerman moved to adopt the H-1 substitute. The clerk recorded a roll call for the substitute and the chair announced "14 yays, 0 nay, 0 pass; the motion prevails." Representative Preston subsequently offered an amendment to add a transparency mechanism allowing patients to query the health data utility for entities that accessed their records over the prior six years; the amendment was adopted (clerk roll call announced as 14 yays, 0 nay, 0 pass). Representative Tisdale then moved to report House Bill 40-37 to the House floor with recommendation. The clerk recorded a roll call for that motion and the chair announced the result as "12 yays, 0 nay" and the motion prevailed. The committee record in the transcript therefore shows the substitute and amendment adopted and HB 40-37 reported to the floor with recommendation.
On House Bill 40-38: Representative DeBoer moved to adopt the H-1 substitute; the clerk roll call resulted in the chair announcing "13 ayes, 0 nay, 1 pass; the motion prevails." Representative Bierlein moved to report House Bill 40-38 to the floor with recommendation; the clerk roll call recorded the final result as "12 ayes, 0 nay, 2 pass," and the motion prevailed, reporting HB 40-38 to the House floor with recommendation.
All roll-call tallies and the text of the amendment were read on the committee record. The transcript does not contain the full text of the H-1 substitutes; committee members said changes primarily reflected department correspondence.
The committee excused absent members and adjourned.
