Health and Human Services committee: how key bills fared in executive action
Summary
The committee completed executive action on multiple bills. Notable outcomes: HB881 (Katie Beckett) passed; HB885 (Medicaid customer service) passed after a conceptual amendment; HB891 (OIG subpoena authority) passed; HB902 (SNAP limits) passed; HB912 (behavioral facility) passed with amendments; HB884 (Behavioral Health Trust Fund) failed and was tabled.
During executive action the House Health and Human Services Committee recorded votes and dispositions for several bills heard earlier in the day.
- HB881 (Katie Beckett): PASSED in committee (roll call recorded). - HB885 (Medicaid customer service): PASSED as amended (committee adopted a conceptual amendment removing mandatory OPA reopening and reducing the appropriation before passage). - HB891 (OIG subpoena authority): PASSED in committee (roll call recorded). - HB902 (SNAP purchase limits & transitional benefits): PASSED in committee (roll call recorded); committee debated retailer burdens and implementation details. - HB912 (behavioral health facility): PASSED with two amendments changing administrative references and adding a minimum 70‑bed design requirement. - HB884 (Behavioral Health Trust Fund): FAILED to pass and was tabled after DPHHS urged continuation of BISFIG implementation rather than creating an additional trust and board.
These committee votes advance several measures to the next stage of the legislative process; final funding, rulemaking and federal approvals remain required for implementation of some items.
