Committee adopts amendment and concurs in bill revising CASA appointments and duties
Summary
House Health and Human Services concurred in Senate Bill 464, which revises laws related to appointment and duties of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA); amendment 464.2 0.1 passed and the bill passed committee concurrence on a roll-call vote, 18–3.
The House Health and Human Services committee concurred in Senate Bill 464, a measure revising state law governing the appointment and duties of special advocates (CASA) in child abuse and neglect proceedings.
Ms. Allen summarized SB 464 as a statutory update to the appointment and duties of special advocates in child-abuse and neglect cases and noted an amendment (464.2 0.1) available in the committee’s packet. The committee adopted that amendment by voice vote.
Representative Bridal said she supports many provisions in the bill but had heard concerns from constituents in Billings and therefore would vote "no" on concurrence for this district. The committee proceeded to a roll-call vote; the clerk announced the result as 18 ayes and 3 nays, and the committee concurred in SB 464.
The bill will move to the House floor with the committee’s recommended concurrence. The committee did not specify a carrier at the time of adjournment.
