Summary

The Senate Health and Welfare Committee introduced new secretary Madison Cray and two session pages, who described their backgrounds; members were briefed on preparatory materials ahead of next week’s administrative rules review.

The Senate Health and Welfare Committee opened its meeting with introductions, welcoming a newly assigned committee secretary and two student pages. The chair asked the new secretary to introduce herself; she said, "I'm Madison Cray," and described administrative experience "at the Division of Occupational Professional Licenses" where she helped health professions boards through zero-based regulations. The chair called her "very competent."

The committee also introduced two pages assisting this year. Finn Meekum said he is a senior at Eagle High School who will attend Utah State after graduation and that he joined the page program because family members had served in the House. Cooper, who gave only his first name, said he recently returned from living in Marbella, Spain, enjoys weight training and travel, and plans to move to France for university. Senators asked the pages light, introductory questions—Senator Harris praised Utah State, and one senator asked Meekum whether he would spend a free week snowboarding at Brundage—underscoring the committee’s introductory, noncontroversial start to the session.
