Senate committee adopts clarification and passes House bill 11 89

The Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee on an unspecified date adopted a clarified amendment to a measure referred to in the transcript as "house bill 11 89" and then voted to pass the bill as amended.

State Senator Kim Hammer, identified for the record as "Kim Hammer, state senator, district 16," told the committee the new amendment is the same as the earlier version except for a correction to clarify membership requirements. "Make sure that at least 2 of the members appointed under subdivision a 2 of the section shall be licensed psychologists who are board certified behavior analysts," Hammer said.

Earlier in the meeting the chair moved to expunge the prior recorded action and vote related to the previous adoption of an amendment to the bill; the committee approved that motion by voice vote. After adopting Senator Hammer's clarified amendment, Hammer moved to pass the bill as amended; the chair called for the ayes, and the motion carried. The committee recorded that "house bill 11 89 is passed as amended."

The record in the transcript does not specify the bill's subject matter, the bill sponsor beyond Senator Hammer's amendment presentation, or the vote tallies by named members. The committee took no further publicly recorded action on the bill in the provided transcript excerpt.
