Senate Banking and Insurance committee gives favorable report to Senate Bill 19 on prostate screening
Summary
The Senate Banking and Insurance committee heard a brief presentation from sponsor Senator Livingston on a prostate screening bill and voted to give Senate Bill 19 a favorable report after a motion by Senator Wagner and a second by Senator Hoebee.
The Senate Banking and Insurance committee voted to give Senate Bill 19, a measure on prostate screening, a favorable report after a brief presentation from its sponsor, Senator Livingston.
Senator Livingston told the committee the bill had been considered last year and taken to the House but did not advance at the end of that session. "So, this is a prostate screening bill that we had handled last year that went downstairs to the house," he said and offered to answer questions.
After the sponsor's remarks, a motion to report the bill favorably was made by Senator Wagner and seconded by Senator Hoebee. The chair called a roll; several members answered 'Aye,' and the chair announced, "Senate bill 19 receives a favorable report." The committee chair thanked members for attending the early meeting, and Senator Livingston expressed thanks in return.
No amendments, objections, or substantive debate on bill language were recorded in the transcript. The committee's favorable report moves the bill forward in the legislative process to the next stage as determined by Senate rules.
