Committee actions: several agency bills advanced; continuity‑of‑care proposal laid over for amendment work

During the hearing the committee moved and recorded procedural actions on several agency and technical bills while reserving the continuity‑of‑care draft for further work.

Key committee actions recorded in the hearing transcript:

• Senate File 39,67 — author’s amendment to adjust pilot timing was moved and the committee recommended the bill be passed and sent to General Orders. (Transcript motion and committee voice vote)

• Senate File 38,61 — moved as amended and recommended to pass to Judiciary. (Transcript shows motion and committee voice vote recommending passage as amended.)

• Senate File 43,99 (Direct Care & Treatment technical/transition provisions) — committee considered amendments (including striking lines 9–12) and advanced statutory updates for further consideration; committee and sponsors discussed multiple technical changes before recommending further referral and work.

The continuity‑of‑care draft presented by a sponsor was not adopted as a bill in this hearing; the sponsor said it will be filed as a delete‑all amendment and committee staff will work with DHS and stakeholders on timelines and specific language before a future committee action.
