			Bill Summary				Final
			FINAL VOTE - Moved to forward the bill (Attachment Z) that requires the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to seek the necessary federal authorization for the reimbursement and provision of home health care services by certified home health care agencies through the use of telemedicine. The amendment to the bill related to what services are included was offered, and there was no opposition to the amendment (Attachment AA). The motion to forward the bill, as amended, to the Legislative Council Committee was adopted on a 7-0-3 roll call vote. It was decided that the bill will start in the Senate, with Senator Mitchell carrying it as the prime Senate sponsor, and Representative Todd serving as the prime House sponsor. Representatives Butcher and McCluskey and Senators Keller and Tochtrop indicated that they wish to co-sponsor the bill. [Note: after the hearing, Senator Tochtrop and Senator Mitchell decided to switch the bills that the are prime sponsoring in the Senate, so Senator Tochtrop will now be the prime Senate sponsor on this bill.]				Final

			FINAL VOTE - Moved to forward the bill (Attachment Y) related to telemedicine in the Department of Corrections to the Legislative Council Committee. The committee determined that rather than a safety clause, a referendum clause was appropriate. The motion to forward the draft bill to the Legislative Council passed on a 7-0-3 roll call vote. It was decided that the bill will start in the Senate, with Senator Tochtrop carrying it as the prime Senate sponsor, and Representative Butcher serving as the prime House sponsor. Representatives Frangas, McCluskey and Todd, and Senators Keller and Mitchell indicated that they wish to co-sponsor the bill. [Note: after the hearing, Senator Tochtrop and Senator Mitchell decided to switch the bills that they are prime sponsoring in the Senate, so Senator Mitchell will now be the prime Senate sponsor on this bill.]				Final

			FINAL VOTE - Moved to forward the bill (Attachment BB) that imposes an additional surcharge on persons convicted of certain alcohol driving offenses to fund emergency medical and trauma services to the Legislative Council Committee. The committee looked at two questions in the draft bill from the drafter. The first question is whether the committee wants to include a conviction for vehicular assault or vehicular homicide if the offense involved alcohol or drugs, and whether the committee wants to include an alcohol driving offense from another state as a previous conviction. Representative Frangas asked that the committee not include these additional offenses. The second issue was whether the committee wants a safety clause or a referendum clause in the bill. The committee determined that a safety clause was not needed. The motion to forward the bill to the Legislative Council Committee failed on a 2-5-3 roll call vote.				Final
