Summary
Senator Peyton asked about scheduling witnesses for workers' compensation bills; the Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee agreed to meet Monday upon adjournment of the Senate transportation committee and to place Peyton's bills at the top of that agenda.
Senator Peyton raised a scheduling question during the Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee meeting, saying he had witnesses who would need to be scheduled to testify on workers' compensation bills.
Committee members discussed options, noting uncertainty about how long the full Senate session would run the next day and that meeting tomorrow afternoon could conflict with other committees. The committee agreed to reconvene on Monday afternoon upon adjournment of the Senate transportation committee and to place Senator Peyton’s bills at the top of that agenda.
A committee member noted that Monday morning is difficult for members who travel long distances, and the chair said they avoid scheduling over the transportation committee because Senator Hill chairs that panel. No formal vote was taken; the scheduling was agreed to during the meeting.
