Summary

The committee approved an amendment and adopted a house committee substitute that folded multiple licensure and interstate-compact provisions into Senate Bill 1092, then voted to advance the substituted measure. The substitute combines several bills affecting licensure reciprocity, telehealth, and supervised practice periods.

A legislative committee adopted an amendment and a house committee substitute for Senate Bill 1092 and then voted to advance the substituted measure.

Chairman Christ moved consideration of Senate Bill 1092 (by Senator Lewis) and introduced a house committee substitute. Representative Thomas asked the chair to "go through all the changes with the substitute," and the chair detailed the substitute’s contents: it folds in an application process for out-of-state professionals with at least three years’ experience; adds a dental compact and a physician-assistant compact; permits certain licensees admitted via the licensure reciprocity program to provide telehealth; adjusts supervision and employment-period requirements for speech-language pathologists; adds a dietitians compact; and reduces supervised practice time for social workers from five years to three years.

The chair said he had an amendment ending in 0.03 h that would change a timeframe from 90 to 60 days to match the senate version. The committee voted to adopt the amendment, then rolled the amendments into a new substitute and adopted that substitute. The chair moved that the house committee substitute ending in 0.06 c be adopted and then moved that the house committee substitute for Senate Bill 1092 "do pass." The clerk called the roll and the chair announced that the measure had been voted to pass. The transcript records repeated 'aye' responses during the roll call; a definitive numeric tally for that final do-pass vote is not specified in the transcript.

The committee adjourned after completing its business.
