Rep. Pearson asks to roll House Bill 1400 for two weeks
Summary
At the Population Health Subcommittee on Feb. 3, 2026, Rep. Pearson requested a two-week delay on House Bill 1400, saying she and the department had "got our wires crossed" about the legislation's goals; the committee agreed to roll the item and no roll-call tally was recorded.
On Feb. 3, 2026, the Population Health Subcommittee took up House Bill 1400 but delayed consideration after the bill's sponsor said she needed to clarify the bill's goals with the implementing department.
"We got our wires crossed about the goal for the legislation. And so I wanna roll it for 2 weeks," Rep. Pearson said, asking the panel to postpone the item so she could meet with department staff later that day. The chair acknowledged the request and said the committee would roll the bill for two weeks. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or the name of a seconding member.
The clerk reported that 10 members were present and the subcommittee had a quorum at the start of the meeting. Aside from the brief procedural exchange and a personal announcement, the calendar was short and the only substantive action recorded in the transcript was the motion to postpone consideration of HB 1400. The committee did not discuss bill text, fiscal impacts, or amendments in the recorded segments; those details were not specified in the transcript.
The subcommittee is expected to revisit House Bill 1400 at the next scheduled meeting after the sponsor meets with department staff to align on the bill's goals; a specific date or time for the follow-up was not specified in the transcript.
