In a single committee session, members advanced multiple measures addressing public-health access, adoption records and administrative updates.
Senator Baldry introduced SB 311 to expand language access for the SafeUT app by enabling multilingual translation features rather than hiring additional bilingual staff; the committee voted to pass the bill favorably and placed it on the consent calendar.
Representative Raymond P. Ward presented HB 333, a cleanup to last year's adoption law clarifying when parents may request continued sealing of records and ensuring parents' physical addresses are not released to adoptees. Senator Plumb moved to favorably recommend HB 333 and the committee placed that bill on the consent calendar as well.
Other substantive measures including HB 265 (non-nicotine inhalation product amendments), HB 70 (Correctional Health Service amendments) and HB 389 (medical cannabis annual update) also passed favorably and will be reported to the full Senate.
The committee approved minutes from Feb. 24 and then adjourned.
