House Human Services to seek witness on statutory exclusion for religious entities
Summary
The committee said it will invite a witness to explain how the statutory exclusion for religious entities has affected child-reporting and families, to help determine whether the working group should address that exclusion.
The chair told members the panel will try to bring a witness to explain the practical impact of the statutory exclusion for religious entities as part of the committee’s work on pre-K and child-reporting. The chair framed the request as necessary to decide whether the issue should be included in the working group’s scope.
Members did not make a formal decision on changing the statute during the discussion; the session recorded only the plan to obtain testimony and to use that testimony to inform the working group’s drafting expectations. No witness name or date was set in the transcript.
