Committee reports several other health measures favorably, defers one, then adjourns
The House Health and Welfare Committee handled a range of technical and policy items on April 28 and reported multiple bills favorably with technical amendments.

Key procedural actions: the committee adopted technical amendments and reported Senate Bill 113 (local hospital assessment program changes) favorable; Senate Bill 23 (assisted-living exemption from the food-service definition) favorable; Senate Bill 150 (vital records scanning and certified copies) favorable; and Senate Bill 253 (peptides regulation) favorable with amendments after stakeholders and the medical society withdrew opposition. HB 946 and Senate Bill 30 were deferred for separate consideration.

The meeting concluded after Representative Chastain moved to adjourn; the chair closed the session.

What happens next: Reported bills proceed to the House floor or administrative follow-up as appropriate; deferred bills will be heard on the next day’s agenda.
