Alongside debated measures, the House approved several additional Senate bills with minimal floor controversy:
- Third substitute, Senate Bill 112 (work week amendment): Representative Bird explained changes to agency work‑week rules and clarifications for technology‑delivered services. The House adopted a motion to replace with the third substitute and passed the bill 71–0.
- First substitute, Senate Bill 194 (Pharmacy Practice Act amendments): Representative Sanpai described technical cleanups including removing obsolete 'extern' references, clarifying wholesaler definitions, permitting a 'pre‑check' in pharmacy filling workflow, and limited authority to dispense multi‑refill supplies in non‑controlled circumstances. The bill passed 72–0.
- Senate Bill 285 (involuntary civil commitment information): Representative Perry said the bill adds identifying fields (name, DOB, SSN) to commitment records to ensure accurate matches in firearm‑denial databases and for administrative records; the House passed it 71–0.
Each bill will be transmitted back to the Senate for the President’s signature or further action.
