Senate committee reports bill to authorize certain health-care professionals
Summary
A New York State Senate committee voted to report Senate Print 07/2020, a bill by Sen. Martinez to authorize certain health-care professionals, and approved an appropriation related to the measure; vote tallies were not specified in the transcript.
A New York State Senate committee reported Senate Print 07/2020, a bill introduced by Senator Martinez to authorize certain health-care professionals, and approved an associated appropriation, the committee recorded during its meeting.
The committee moved to authorize the bill multiple times during the discussion. The transcript records motions "moved by Senator Dabos" and later "moved by Senator Luce." Senator Luce and Mr. Fernandez moved an appropriation related to the measure; the transcript records the clerk or presiding officer calling, and the recording says, "All in favor," after which the bill was reported out of committee.
The nut graf: the action advances a legislation (Senate Print 07/2020) that the sponsor, Senator Martinez, placed before the committee for authorization of certain health-care professionals. The committee also approved an appropriation motion tied to the bill before reporting it to the next stage; the transcript does not specify the appropriation amount or specific professions covered by the bill.
Committee members and staff made at least three motions on the bill, as the transcript indicates. The record shows "Moved by Senator Dabos" and separate motions by Senator Luce; a subsequent statement in the transcript says, "This is by Senator Luce and Mr. Fernandez," in reference to the appropriation motion. The transcript does not record a roll-call or numeric vote tally for the measure; it records the verbal phrase, "All in favor," and then that the bill "is reported."
No further details about the bill's text, the specific health-care professions affected, or the size or source of the appropriation appear in the transcript. The committee also noted other business: "All bills to 33, and Krueger will be coming up imminently," indicating additional agenda items were scheduled but not described in this segment.
The meeting record distinguishes the formal action (the committee reporting the bill and approving an appropriation motion) from discussion: the transcript supplies motion attributions but does not include deliberative remarks or substantive debate about policy details, benefits, or opposition.
Next steps: Senate Print 07/2020 was reported out of the committee for further consideration; the transcript does not specify when it will reach the floor or any subsequent committee assignment.
