Committee actions: several child‑welfare bills moved or were laid over

Beyond the major topics reported, the committee considered several additional bills and amendments.

House File 3901 (records access/SSIS): Representative Johnson's A26 amendment was adopted by voice vote after the author explained it clarifies confidential data definitions and modernizes access procedures; the committee re‑referred HF 3901 to the Committee on Ways and Means.

House File 4408 (child fatality transparency): Vice Chair Nelson's A1 amendment was adopted; testifiers and members discussed making child‑fatality findings publicly available while protecting sensitive identifying information and tribal data sovereignty; the committee re‑referred the bill to Ways and Means.

House File 3819 (CCAP fraud tools): Members questioned record‑retention language and data‑practice implications; the transcript records a roll call and the chair's announcement that the motion does not prevail and the bill was not re‑referred as amended.

House File 4316 (posters, maltreatment transparency): Representative Olsen's A1 amendment and multiple testifiers led the committee to lay the bill over to address concerns about coverage of family‑childcare settings and other technical issues; members said they will return with clarifying language.

The committee asked for fiscal notes where appropriate and noted many items will proceed next to the relevant finance or judiciary committees for further consideration.
