House appoints conferees after Senate refuses to concur on genetic data privacy bill
Summary
The House received a Senate message refusing to concur in the House amendment to H.639 (genetic data privacy), requested a committee of conference, and the Speaker appointed three House conferees to the conference committee.
The House of Representatives received a Senate message that the Senate refused to concur in the House amendment to House Bill 639, an act relating to genetic data privacy, and requested a committee of conference. The Speaker followed by appointing House members to serve on the House side of that conference committee.
The Speaker named the appointed conferees as the member from Jericho, Representative Granting; the member from Coventry, Representative Marquette; and the member from Bethel, Representative White. No formal floor debate or roll-call vote on the appointment was recorded in the transcript; the action followed the Senate message and the Speaker's announcement.
The transcript does not record additional detail on the Senate's specific objections to the House amendment or any changes proposed by the Senate. The motion to convene a conference committee was procedural following the Senate's refusal to concur; the appointment of House conferees completes the House's immediate response. The House then moved on to other business and did not vote further on H.639 during this session block.
