Health care subcommittee adopts proviso packet and authorizes staff to make technical edits

At its final meeting, the Health Care Subcommittee for the Budget adopted a consolidated proviso packet and authorized staff to make technical edits to align provisos with actions the subcommittee took, then adjourned.

The meeting opened with the moderator noting the passing of Representative Clyburn’s wife and saying the House had honored Representative Clyburn with a prayer. The moderator asked members to keep Representative Clyburn and his family in their prayers.

The moderator introduced the proviso packet, describing it as consisting of a base packet, new packets, end packets, items to conform to funding, and delete packets, and offered that the committee could address items individually or adopt the packet in whole. One member said they were “good with adoption of the whole packet,” and the chair recorded that there was a motion and a second. There was no discussion recorded in the transcript. When asked, “All in favor say aye,” the membership responded and the motion was approved by voice vote.

The subcommittee then approved a second motion to give staff authority to make technical changes "as necessary to conform proviso language to actions taken by the subcommittee." That motion also was moved and seconded (mover and seconder not specified in the transcript), produced no recorded discussion, and was approved by voice vote.

No roll-call votes or individual vote tallies were recorded in the transcript for either motion. The moderator asked whether there was any other business; hearing none, the committee stood adjourned.

The transcript does not identify individual members by name or record who moved or seconded the motions. It also does not record any dissenting votes or amendments during the meeting.
