Summary
Summary of recorded actions during the conference committee on House File 2115, article 2. Several technical amendments were adopted by voice vote; one roll‑call motion to adopt senate restraints language failed; an amendment on guardianship was not adopted.
The conference committee on House File 2115 recorded a series of amendments and motions on article 2. Below are the items the transcript records as acted on during the sitting.
- A12 (historic building licensure): Adopted by voice vote. Motion moved by Senator Rasmussen. (See article: historic building licensure.)
- A16 (LPN/comprehensive language): Adopted by voice vote. Representative Neuer moved the amendment that removed the word “comprehensive” from certain LPN service descriptions after stakeholders and the Department of Health reached consensus.
- A19 (guardianship language): Withdrawn by the mover; conferees noted stakeholders had not reached agreement on the house language.
- A13 (technical change on completed isolation/comprehensive assessment): Adopted; described as a technical change requested by MDH to clarify which comprehensive assessment applies following isolation.
- A20 (hospice technical language): Adopted by voice vote; described as a technical compromise language agreed with hospice stakeholders.
- House A15 (designated support person language improvements): Adopted by voice vote; amendment tightened designated support person provisions to avoid unintended “squatter” rights while preserving support access.
- Motion to adopt senate language for restraints/reporting (article 2, sections 7, 15, 16, 18, 28 and 34): A roll call was taken on this motion; the chair announced the motion was not adopted after the roll call. The transcript records several named votes but does not include a complete, unambiguous roll‑call tally in the text; the chair stated the motion was not adopted.
- Motion on guardianship/conservator requirement for admission (article 2, sections 9 and 24): Discussed with no final adoption; conferees asked for additional drafting to avoid blanket prohibitions and to require case‑by‑case documentation.
This list reflects the actions and outcomes recorded in the meeting transcript. Several other technical changes were discussed and some were adopted without roll call; if more detail is needed for any item, the committee transcript or the conference committee manager’s office can provide the official roll‑call record and final agreed text.
