Summary

Rep. John Vander Woude presented RS 33491 to remove a fee increase enacted during COVID and subsequent general funding, reducing the 15‑minute increment from $7.58 to $7.07; the committee voted to introduce the measure by voice vote.

Rep. John Vander Woude, R‑22 and committee chair, presented RS 33491 proposing to remove a COVID‑era fee increase and subsequent General Funding, which he said "decreases their current 15-minute increment from $7.58 to $7.07." Rep. Wheeler moved to introduce the resolution and the motion carried by voice vote.

The transcript records the numerical reduction as presented but does not include staff fiscal analysis, an implementation timeline, or the number of providers affected. Introduction places the measure on the committee record; no substantive debate or amendments were recorded during the Feb. 24 meeting.

Because the minutes record only introduction by voice vote, the committee did not adopt the change at this meeting; the resolution will require subsequent consideration and any necessary fiscal review before becoming law.
