The Vermont Senate concurred with the House proposal of amendment to S.53, a bill relating to certification of community-based perinatal doulas, following committee review that described the House changes as non-substantive date adjustments to permit implementing agencies more time.
The Senate Government Operations Committee, after taking testimony from the House Health Care Committee reporter, reported the House amendments were non-substantive and recommended concurrence by a 5-0 vote. The Senate Health and Welfare Committee also reported concurrence. The Senate then voted by voice vote to concur with the House proposal of amendment.
Committee testimony said the House's changes adjust implementation dates so the relevant agencies have additional time to implement certification steps; no other substantive program changes were reported on the floor.
