The House Appropriations Committee voted unanimously to advance House Bill 11-23, which would require health insurance companies to provide coverage for colorectal cancer screenings without cost-sharing for covered persons beginning at age 45.
At the committee meeting the executive director summarized the proposal: "We have house bill 11 23, which requires health insurance companies to provide coverage for colorectal cancer screenings without cost sharing for covered persons beginning at age 45" (Executive Director, SEG 058-060). Committee members did not engage in recorded debate on the bill.
The Chair asked whether there were any negative votes; none were recorded, and the Chair announced that the bill would pass the committee unanimously (SEG 097-103). The transcript contains a typographical inconsistency where the record briefly references "house bill 11 28" at SEG 100; surrounding statements and the executive director's summary identify the intended measure as House Bill 11-23.
No vote tally by member name was recorded in the transcript, and no amendments or conditions were announced. The committee did not specify any further scheduling or floor referral details for the bill during the recorded session.
The committee adjourned after completing action on the day's agenda (SEG 104-105).
