Committee takes executive action: doulas bill concurred; SNAP restriction fails; indoor-air bill concurred
Summary
During executive action the House Health and Human Services Committee concurred in Senate Bill 319 (doulas) as amended (14–7), failed to concur in Senate Bill 354 (SNAP restrictions on soft drinks and candy) after roll-call (3–18), and concurred in Senate Bill 390 (Clean Indoor Air Act) as amended (11–10).
The committee moved into executive action and handled multiple concurrence motions and roll-call votes.
Senate Bill 319 (doulas): Vice Chair Buttrey moved concurrence and presented an amendment that passed by voice. The committee took a roll-call vote and the motion to concur in SB 319 as amended carried with 14 ayes and 7 nays.
Senate Bill 354 (SNAP restrictions): The committee considered an amendment to SB 354, which would have restricted purchases of soft drinks and candy with SNAP benefits via a USDA waiver request. The amendment failed on a roll-call, and on the subsequent roll-call the committee reported 3 ayes and 18 nays; the committee did not concur in SB 354 and later moved to table the bill.
Senate Bill 390 (Clean Indoor Air Act): The committee took SB 390 off the table, moved an amendment (which passed by voice), and then voted to concur in the bill as amended; the roll-call result was 11 ayes and 10 nays and the committee concurred in the amended SB 390.
Procedural notes: several votes included proxy votes recorded by committee staff; the committee assigned carriers for bills that passed concurrence and adjourned.
