Senate Health Committee votes to report House Bill 440 to Rules and Reference
Summary
After testimony for earlier items, Senator Johnson moved to favorably report House Bill 440 (Board of Nursing and criminal‑records checks) to the Committee on Rules and Reference; the clerk called the roll and the chair announced the motion received a majority and the bill will be reported to Rules and Reference.
Senator Johnson moved to favorably report House Bill 440 to the Senate Committee on Rules and Reference. The clerk conducted a roll call on the motion; the transcript records affirmative "Yes" responses from the chair and several members. The chair announced that the motion had received a majority and that the bill would be reported to Rules and Reference.
Why it matters: Reporting a bill to Rules and Reference is a procedural step that advances it toward floor consideration. The committee did not debate HB 440 on the record during this session but voted to report it favorably, moving it to the next stage in the legislative process.
Vote details: The transcript records "Yes" votes from Chair Huffman, Vice Chair Johnson, Ranking Member Liston, Senator Ingram and Senator Roachner; the chair stated that the motion received the majority and asked members to sign the roll. The record does not show a recorded response for one prompted member before the chair declared the majority.
Next steps: Per the chair’s announcement, HB 440 will be sent to the Senate Committee on Rules and Reference for further consideration; committee members were asked to sign the roll and the meeting was adjourned.
