The House took up House Bill 847 for immediate consideration and concurred in the Senate’s proposed amendment by voice vote. Member from Holtony moved to suspend House rules to take H.847 off the notice calendar; the motion passed and the body voted to concur.
The Health Care Committee (reported by the Member from Winooski) found the Senate amendments to be minor, chiefly adding language to better align mental‑health peer workforce requirements (including a code of ethics) and clarifying the phrase 'peer recovery support specialists.' The committee recommended the House join in voting yes, and the House agreed.
Outcome: House concurred in the Senate’s proposal of amendment. The bill will proceed under the amended text.
