09:58 AM -- Senate Bill 09-046

Senator Sandoval, sponsor of Senate Bill 09-046, brought her bill back to the committee for action only. Testimony was heard on the bill on January 29, 2009. Senator Sandoval reiterated some of the testimony heard by the committee at the previous hearing on the bill.


10:01 AM

Senator Sandoval described amendment L.009 (Attachment A). The amendment, she said, removes most of the detail in the bill, instead directing the State Board of Education to promulgate rules with regard to healthy snack foods, and it also pushes back the implementation of the bill.

Senator Sandoval responded to committee questions about the amendment, including a question from Senator King about requiring the State Board of Education to promulgate rules. Conversation between Senator Sandoval and Senator King on the amendment ensued.

Senator Hudak expressed concern about the amendment, and noted that she would offer an amendment (L.010 Attachment B), which would address her concerns. She said she feels the discussion about healthy snack foods should take place at the local level, rather than the State Board of Education level.

10:10 AM

Senator Sandoval asked for a no vote on amendment L.010, expressing concern that there would 178 different sets of standards, and businesses would have a difficult time meeting all these standards. The committee discussed the amendment and Senator Hudak responded to questions about it. Senator Bacon said he would offer an amendment encouraging the adoption of a snack food policy rather than requiring it. Senator Sandoval said if her amendment, amendment L.009, is not adopted, she would like the bill to be postponed indefinitely. The committee discussed this option.

10:17 AM

Committee discussion around the bill and the amendments continued. Senator Hudak commented that her amendment, amendment L.010, would move the idea of healthy foods in school forward while allowing local communities to discuss what is best for their communities. Senator Sandoval asked again that the bill be postponed indefinitely if the committee does not adopt amendment L.009.
