Summary

During executive session the committee adopted several House Committee substitutes, rolling multiple sponsor bills together and advancing them with recorded voice and roll‑call votes (e.g., the substitute for HB19‑41/22‑79/16‑81 passed 15‑2; a later substitute for a package including HB23‑65, HB24‑90 and HB22‑49 passed 18‑0).

The Committee on Health and Mental Health handled procedural business early in the session, taking executive action on several committee substitutes.

The committee adopted a House Committee substitute that rolls Representative Sites’ measure into a broader package of bills and adds language addressing labor contract exceptions; Representative Ferruzza explained the substitute during executive session. A subsequent roll call recorded 15 ayes and 2 nos on the committee substitute for House Bills 19‑41, 22‑79 and 16‑81, and the committee reported the package 'do pass.'

The committee also considered and adopted a substitute for hospital‑related bills and later voted to advance a committee substitute for House Bills 23‑65, 24‑90 and 22‑49; the roll call on that package passed 18‑0.

Committee action on those packages was procedural and was recorded in the hearing transcript with roll calls and voice votes as noted above.
