Senate Health Committee reports several professional and technical bills to the calendar

The Senate Health Committee moved several bills forward in a batch of mostly technical or profession‑related measures.

SB 2239 (administration bill) requires one hour of existing continuing education for MDs and DOs be designated for nutrition; the committee approved the bill unanimously. SB 2602 increases the annual, retail‑exempt honey amount from 150 gallons to 835 gallons to reduce manufacturing/regulatory burden for small producers; the committee approved the change. SB 2358 updates podiatry statute to allow treatment of soft tissue up to the tibial tuberosity (just below the knee) to reflect modern training; the committee reported this bill favorably. SB 1581 raised disagreement between adult‑day providers and faith‑based respite ministries over licensing and oversight; the committee nonetheless voted to advance the measure after proponents said it expands options for caregivers. Each bill was moved, seconded and reported to the calendar or the budget/finance process as recorded in committee roll calls.
