“For clarification on the bill…no additional benefits or no additional costs can be done to the state plan, amendment, agency guidance or other documents that it really needs to go through the state legislature,” Vanderrata said, asking the committee to send the bill to the floor.

Committee members asked for clarification about whether federal waivers or amendments that decrease eligibility could be implemented without legislative approval. Vanderrata responded that he believed waivers or state-plan amendments would still require legislative approval, stating, “I believe that it would still have to be the legislature would have to approve those changes.” Representative McCann pressed the point about waivers and whether the department could decrease eligibility; Vanderrata characterized the bill as solidifying the original bill’s intent rather than correcting an existing error.

Representative Wheeler said he intended to support the motion and praised the sponsor for the clarification. No outside testimony was offered. The committee approved a motion to send House Bill 90 to the floor with a “due pass” recommendation by voice vote; the transcript records an “Aye” and the chair’s announcement that the motion carried.

Kaler, who identified himself as the representative for District 11 in Canyon County, said the request would “transition existing rules under IDAPA concerning child support services into Idaho statute, thereby codifying these rules without creating new law.” He listed topics covered by the rules as liens, income withholding, fees and charges, medical support, public assistance and support enforcement.

Committee members moved to introduce RS32391 and carried the motion by voice vote. The transcript records a voice “aye” and the chair announcing the motion passed and that “RS32391 is introduced.” No roll-call vote or vote tally by name was recorded in the hearing transcript.

The request is styled as an introduction; no public testimony or substantive amendment occurred at the committee hearing.

The committee adjourned the item after the introduction and moved to the next agenda item.","Representative Lucas Kaler asked the Health and Welfare Committee to give an introductory hearing to RS32391, a legislative proposal to move existing IDAPA child-support rules into Idaho statute; the committee voted to introduce the request by voice vote.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6419854,"House Bill 200 moves additional pharmacy board rules into statute; committee forwards bill",133,963000,1096000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2372063-e1deb108165b62a8320614b887b18686&start=963&end=1096","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2372063-e1deb108165b62a8320614b887b18686/thumbnail_963000.jpg","/articles/6419854/Idaho/House-Bill-200-moves-additional-pharmacy-board-rules-into-statute-committee-forwards-bill","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6419854-5d4c84c33cd529206ce0cf4a9ed5ee43/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135601&Signature=ehx-QkUVJqdGTGgDvStluv8KVVc76MKLVJAPOeUiX7WOlTkqR-oftPC5xF1o8PsVzgq-TWzTy3ZgX-VTvT3gkKKY1hU~kcVV1lORTQYgbWBSvNhY01oWpiS0iLzpyZLaz~JLeWWJiOXVWJuMdIZdincXUXZDuOCETz4RE3~UrUGLEqGXCsOIqL3BdMTBmMUkHhcxb-lp-nFePVgJMbMx80P-6bO6DdRHVqV-clrJEO3I46bqC1FiEjaJFhZdkfGjxrY453uJ~OlXxwKc-DRgFPGY6XWlRcByBlRSAqj~SimYuBkdQKY9xGUk5nJgJQ3ycxVn2yVX7-o0-0ueXJngnA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representative Jordan Redmond introduced House Bill 200 and said it continues a multi-year effort to move Department of Health and Welfare and licensing-board rules from administrative code into statute.

Redmond, who identified himself as representing District 3 in Kootenai County and declared a Rule 80 conflict (owning retail pharmacies), said the bill is part of a two-year migration and that the prior batch passed unanimously last year as House Bill 527. He said the current measure does not expand or shrink practice authority and “imposes no new burdens and will not change practice,” but would move existing rules into statute so elected lawmakers retain policy control.

Redmond also explained that an item in the print hearing concerns a board rule (Rule 400) that prohibits annotated or postdated prescriptions; he summarized that the addition refers to an existing board rule stating “a prescription drug order is invalid if annotated or postdated.”

No external testimony was recorded. Representative Healy moved to send House Bill 200 to the floor with a due pass recommendation and the committee approved the motion by voice vote; the chair recorded an aye vote and announced the bill is sent to the floor.","Representative Jordan Redmond asked the Health and Welfare Committee to move additional pharmacy-related rules from administrative code into statute via House Bill 200; the committee voted to send the bill to the floor with a due pass recommendation.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":46,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6419884,"Committee backs House Bill 28 to merge nursing home and residential-care administrator boards",430,960000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2372063-e1deb108165b62a8320614b887b18686&start=530&end=960","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2372063-e1deb108165b62a8320614b887b18686/thumbnail_530000.jpg","/articles/6419884/Idaho/Committee-backs-House-Bill-28-to-merge-nursing-home-and-residential-care-administrator-boards","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6419884-b2321a43d0290818faa63edeb215123b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135601&Signature=Noh08tRs29bp72jTGi3c~~XMkTLO80kbgyZWxz1eqs2Iw47MPFevMzIlHwPbdEUAwYMTq9bgIJWRSeU2EdtxIRcyXW-DMIOWEKlJRnuC8zdxkq0~TJnVZmq~1hvGWDZpsG5lRSJfzE6F~3HagksI60ou6Rw8Yn~AQDxa2jK0ZkUAFpdUcXyB37dEL60WypHKTR6bb94NF6wly2x1yaA11hAVszNMqDpPSjviTg3aPgTmP0dPkJbP~fPZECRQrHPT0Z33AifkrggQRp3BiHFZy5OtIZ5Ewu1EKxK3XqUeYLFkeqnE9GfZthx3S3UYTafpzQ5gRDVxNxW4vInGigDFdA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representative Dore Healy presented House Bill 28 to the Health and Welfare Committee, describing the measure as a consolidation of two licensing boards.

Healy, who said he represents District 15 (West Boise and part of Meridian), said the bill would merge the board of nursing home administrators and the board of residential care facility administrators to reduce duplication and achieve long-term savings. He described the boards as “very similar” and said the consolidation follows national practice. Healy acknowledged that the boards had moved to the Chinden campus, which increased costs in the short term, and said the boards are currently operating in the red. He estimated the consolidation could produce fiscal improvement over time and said projections show improvements “by 2029.”

Representative Wheeler moved to send House Bill 28 to the floor with a due pass recommendation and said the consolidation is “smart and strategic” and likely to produce long-term savings and better outcomes. Representative McCann sought clarification about the fiscal note; Healy said the fiscal note indicates no impact on the general fund but that the two boards are currently in the red and consolidation is expected to reduce that deficit over time.

One person who identified themselves in the hearing as a health-care representative was present but did not offer testimony on the record. The committee approved the motion by voice vote; the chair voted aye and announced the motion passed.","Representative Dore Healy told the Health and Welfare Committee House Bill 28 would consolidate the board of nursing home administrators and the board of residential care facility administrators to achieve efficiencies; the committee voted to send the bill to the floor with a due pass recommendation.","actionData","errors"]
