Votes at a glance: committee moves three bills forward, several others held for drafting
Summary
At the hearing the committee recorded recorded roll‑call votes advancing several bills to Appropriations and recommitted others for further drafting.
The Senate Health Committee recorded formal actions on multiple bills during the hearing.
- SB 350 (AEDs and cardiac emergency response plans): Passed as amended, 12–0; recommitted to Appropriations. (Recorded roll: unanimous "aye" votes from Senators Yoder, Jackson, Ford, Bush, Dirie, Brown, Bohachac, Kreider, Becker, Leising, Johnson and Chair Charbonneau.)
- SB 503 (pharmacy benefit manager transparency initiative as amended): Passed as amended, 11–0; recommitted to Appropriations. (Recorded roll: unanimous "aye" votes; chair vote included.)
- SB 242 (physician/ED reimbursement/clarification as amended): Passed as amended, 12–0; recommitted to Appropriations.
Several other high‑profile bills were held for additional stakeholder work after testimony, including SB 291 (donor‑registry enrollment), SB 317 (medical‑debt reform) and SB 370 (site‑neutral payments and acquisition reporting). Sponsors said they will return with amended language after negotiating technical fixes and thresholds.
The committee's recorded votes and recommit requests mean those measures will receive fiscal review in Appropriations before the committee takes further action.
