Caucus reviews HB 2072 to set optional lactation‑care certification; sponsor concurs with Senate amendment that repeals Cesar Estrada Chavez Day

At the same caucus meeting, staff summarized House Bill 2072, which the Senate amended to establish an optional state certification program for lactation‑care providers under the Arizona Department of Health Services and to create a community advisory committee.

Staff also read that the Senate adopted a strike‑everything amendment that includes an emergency provision repealing Cesar Estrada Chavez Day. "The Senate adopted a strike everything amendment that creates an emergency measure that repeals Cesar Estrada Chavez Day," staff said when summarizing the amendment.

Staff reported the sponsor (Representative Fink) concurs with the Senate amendments. With concurrence noted, caucus proceeded to adjourn without extended debate.

The transcript did not specify implementation details, funding, or advisory‑committee membership; those items will require follow‑up with the sponsor and DHS for specifics on certification standards, timelines, and fiscal implications.
