| MOTION: | 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.] |
