Committee votes unanimously to pass bill requiring memory-care training for long-term care ombudsmen
Summary
Senate Bill 88, requiring state and regional long-term care ombudsmen to receive training in memory care, passed the committee by voice vote after a brief procedural discussion and a motion to pass favorably.
The House Health and Human Services Committee voted to pass Senate Bill 88, which requires the state long-term care ombudsman and regional ombudsmen to receive training in memory care.
Carly presented the bill noting it "concerns the state long term care ombudsman and requires them and any regional ombudsman to receive training in memory care." After brief procedural discussion about an amendment that would have "gutted the entire bill," Representative Bueller moved to pass SB 88 favorably; Representative Peso seconded the motion. The committee conducted a voice vote — "Aye" — and the chair announced the bill passed.
Committee members described the change as a targeted training requirement; no recorded opposition appeared in the hearing minutes. The bill will proceed out of committee for further legislative consideration.
