Senate commits S.64 to Health & Welfare, places SR8 and SR9 on notice, and introduces three bills
Summary
The Senate suspended rules to commit S.64 on optometrists' scope of practice to the Committee on Health and Welfare and placed SR8 and SR9 on the calendar for notice; three bills were introduced and referred to committees.
The Senate suspended its rules and committed S.64, an act relating to amendments to the scope of practice for optometrists, to the Committee on Health and Welfare with the report of the Committee on Government Operations intact after a voice vote.
Senators also heard the readings of two Senate resolutions—SR 8, relating to concurrently conducted electronic committee meetings, and SR 9, relating to electronic participation in Senate sessions. Both resolutions were read and placed on the calendar for notice the following day.
Lawmakers introduced three bills and sent them to committees for consideration: S.93, an act relating to consumer data privacy, was referred to the Committee on Economic Development; S.94, an act relating to the duty of the attorney general to enforce certain criminal offenses, was referred to the Committee on Judiciary; and S.95, an act relating to standby guardianships for children whose parents have been subject to adverse immigration actions, was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
The transcript records the motions and first readings but provides no committee reports, sponsor lists beyond the introducing senators named on the floor, or details of bill text. The suspension of the rules to commit S.64 carried on a voice vote; the resolutions were placed on the calendar for notice rather than adopted on the floor.
