Senate Finance advances three bills; several items set aside for more information
Summary
At its May 20 meeting the committee moved House Bill 110 and House Bill 195 from committee and later moved House Bill 193 to the next referral; several amendments were withdrawn or held for additional information.
The Senate Finance Committee took procedural votes on several bills during its May 20 meeting:
- House Bill 110 (Social Work Licensure Compact): A member moved the committee substitute; there was no objection and the bill moved to the next committee of referral (Rules).
- House Bill 195 (Pharmacist Prescription Authority): A committee member moved HB 195 (version G) from committee with attached fiscal notes; there was no objection and the bill passed from committee.
- House Bill 193 (version S): At the meeting close, a motion moved HB 193 from committee with fiscal notes and recommendations; no objection was raised and the bill moved to the next referral.
Other items: Amendment No. 1 to a paid-sick-leave-related bill was withdrawn by the sponsor; a conceptual amendment to HB 192 (paid parental leave) was tabled pending sponsor staff providing counts and a fiscal estimate.
Why it matters: These procedural moves advance multiple bills in the legislative process, while the committee requested more data on programmatic amendments before acting on them.
Next steps: The bills that moved will proceed to their next committee referral; staff will supply requested data on HB 192 for future consideration.
