The dollars come directly to the individual," the sponsor said.
Committee members had no questions following the sponsor’s explanation. The clerk announced the vote as "5 ayes and 0 nays," and the chair said the bill "passes and goes to insurance full." No amendments or opposing testimony were recorded on the transcript.
