The Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee met to consider several Board of Pharmacy statutory cleanup bills, a transfer of funds for an extra-large tire program, social work licensing reciprocity changes, a presentation on scope-of-practice and rural workforce by the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement, a bill to establish a framework for human milk banking, and a resolution on prescription drug abuse. Most bills and the resolution were passed without recorded roll-call tallies; several items prompted technical questions and brief debate.
