Board adopts legislative proposal for omnibus bill; rolls and votes recorded
Summary
The board voted to adopt and submit a legislative omnibus proposal to the Senate Committee on Business, Professions and Economic Development. The board also approved the December 5–6, 2024 meeting minutes earlier in the session; both votes were taken by roll call and carried.
The Speech‑Language Pathology, Audiology and Hearing Aid Dispensers Board on Feb. 21 voted to adopt a legislative omnibus proposal and authorized staff to take necessary steps to submit the proposal to the Senate Committee on Business, Professions and Economic Development.
The proposal the board adopted contained nonsubstantive and technical updates to the practice act and related code sections the committee asked be handled through the board’s sunset review for some specific sections; board staff explained the committee recommended pulling certain sections for consideration in the sunset process. The board’s motion — moved and seconded on the record — passed by roll call; the meeting transcript records ayes from Chair Gilda Dominguez, Dr. Amy White, Mr. Todd Borges, Dr. Tamara Chambers, Dr. Charles Sanders and Ms. Karen Chang.
Earlier in the meeting the board also reviewed and approved the Dec. 5–6, 2024 meeting minutes as amended (the board noted a clarifying edit to one paragraph regarding a past‑tense reference). The chair called for a roll call vote on the minutes; staff recorded ayes from the same members and the motion carried.
