Health committee reports Senate Bill 1019 as due passed after adopting substitute and amendment

The Committee on Health and Mental Health voted to report Senate Bill 1019 as "due passed" after adopting a distributed substitute and a subsequent amendment, Chair Stinnett said during an executive-session meeting.

The measure, introduced in the record as Senator Crawford’s bill, was the subject of a substitute described as ending in "0.03 c," which the chair said had been distributed to members and was moved for adoption. The chair also said an amendment ending in "0.02 h" had been distributed and moved for adoption.

"I move that Senate Bill 1019 be voted due passed," Chair Stinnett said when placing the motion before the committee; she identified the substitute and the amendment before calling for a vote. The clerk conducted the roll call and later reported a final tally of 12 yes and 1 no.

The transcript records a voice/roll-call process in which members were asked to signify their votes; the clerk announced the count and Chair Stinnett declared the bill "due passed." The record does not attribute individual yea or nay votes to specific members beyond the roll-call exchange and the announced tally.

With no other business before the committee, Chair Stinnett adjourned the session.

Notes: The transcript records the substitute as "ending in 0.03 c," an amendment as "ending in 0.02 h," and the adopted amendment referenced in the voice vote as "House Amendment 1." The transcript also uses the phrasing "Senate Bridal 10 19" in one place; for clarity and consistency with legislative naming conventions this article refers to the item as Senate Bill 1019, as the committee context and subsequent roll-call result identify the item as a bill.
