The committee read a consent calendar containing many aging- and long-term-care-related bills and moved most items forward by voice/consent. The clerk conducted roll-call votes on selected items that members had singled out for individual records.
Roll calls taken during the meeting included:
- SB 122 (study of long-term care needs): clerk recorded a majority in the affirmative, with Representative Case voting no during the recorded roll call.
- HB 5,140 (study of the needs of senior citizens): recorded by roll call; the clerk concluded the roll-call and recorded votes in the record.
- SB 125 (restricting private-equity ownership of nursing homes): multiple members voted yes; Representative Case recorded a no vote on the roll call.
- SB 287 (home health aide PPE requirement): roll-call vote passed; some members expressed interest in seeing a fiscal note before final commitment.
- SB 284 (emergency power generator requirements for certain multifamily housing projects): roll-call vote passed after discussion about municipalities affected and cost allocation.
The clerk then read the full consent calendar and recorded votes; the consent calendar passed with the majority voting yes. The clerk said recorded votes would remain open until 1:00 p.m., per committee practice.
What happens next: Each advanced bill will proceed to the floor or to the next committee as appropriate; items involving funding (for example, the $10 million quality metrics request) will now enter budget deliberations.
