Summary
An unidentified presenter told the Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee a short measure would 'open up information flow' to help the Arkansas Cancer Registry expedite reporting; the committee passed the bill by voice vote with no recorded roll call.
An unidentified presenter told the Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee that House Bill 1155 would "open up information flow" to help the Arkansas Cancer Registry expedite its data, and said the measure would impose no additional cost.
The presenter asked for a favorable vote. Chairwoman Bledsoe closed discussion when no committee questions were raised and called for public comment; none was offered. The committee moved, seconded and passed the bill on a voice vote, with no roll-call tally recorded.
The chair said the meeting would limit its agenda because of hazardous weather and asked members and visitors to travel home safely. No implementation details, fiscal analysis or recorded vote counts were provided in the hearing record.
