Health committee adopts substitutes and advances multiple bills in executive session
Summary
The Missouri House Committee on Health and Mental Health adopted a committee amendment and substitutes and recorded unanimous committee votes to advance several House bills in executive session, including a committee substitute that rolled multiple bills into one and House Bill 2,596.
The House Committee on Health and Mental Health moved into executive session Thursday and approved a committee amendment and subsequent committee substitutes, then voted to advance several House bills to the next stage.
Chair Stinnett led the session and described a committee amendment that clarified the definition of chronic pain to align with a national standard before the body adopted it by voice. The committee then rolled that change into a new substitute and adopted the substitute.
The clerk conducted roll-call votes on committee action. The committee voted to advance a combined committee substitute that consolidated several House bills; the chair reported the result as 15 ayes and 0 nos. Later in the session the committee recorded a 15–0 vote to report House Bill 2,596 “do pass.”
Those formal outcomes were announced from the chair at the start of the hearing, and the committee then resumed public hearings on other bills on the agenda.
