The committee considered three amendments: 468.2.1 (sponsor-presented changes to definitions), 468.2.2 (reporting requirements), and 468.2.3 (an expungement-timing change moved by Representative Close).

Amendment 468.2.1 revised the definitions used in the bill. Ms. Allen explained the amendment replaces prior language and defines \"substantiated\" to mean the department has investigated and determined by a preponderance of the evidence that abuse or neglect occurred; it also revises \"unfounded\" and \"unsubstantiated\" definitions. The committee adopted 468.2.1 by voice vote.

Amendment 468.2.2 added reporting requirements. As explained by Ms. Allen, the amendment requires the Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) to report annually by Sept. 1 to the Children, Families, Health and Human Services Interim Committee \"in accordance with 5 11 2 10\" on the total number of individuals in the registry; the number of expungement requests granted, denied, and added during the past calendar year; whether requests were first-time or subsequent; and the reasoning for denials. The committee adopted 468.2.2 by voice vote.

Representative Close moved amendment 468.2.3 to allow expungement applications after five years (instead of the bill's subject period). Miss Grossman had testified in support of a longer waiting period, according to Close's remarks. Amendment 468.2.3 failed on a roll call: the transcript records the committee vote as 9 Aye, 12 Nay. After that defeat, the committee voted by voice to concur in Senate Bill 468 as twice amended; proxies were recorded and the committee declared the concurrence.

The record shows the committee focused on definitional standards (preponderance of evidence) and transparency through annual reporting by DPHHS; the committee declined to adopt the longer expungement timeline proposed by amendment 468.2.3.","The committee adopted two amendments to Senate Bill 468—one clarifying evidence definitions and another requiring annual reporting by DPHHS—and concurred in the bill as twice amended; a proposal to extend the expungement waiting period to five years failed.",{"_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},6100413,"Committee concurs in bill revising special advocate appointments in child abuse proceedings",159,1403000,1562000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2813608-d2cd7e857465400da7738e2859e7e002&start=1403&end=1562","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2813608-d2cd7e857465400da7738e2859e7e002/thumbnail_1403000.jpg","/articles/6100413/Montana/Committee-concurs-in-bill-revising-special-advocate-appointments-in-child-abuse-proceedings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6100413-a006ab0b85df74faf9efa29730c03294/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153248&Signature=icataJZDL~EpBF3rFAHygJRzhS49~EV1nVIUbx0X38HwhRb72MZRB~oYLEJIrHIytOlfYKeJl87L79uXTM3JO4jcdBG9fs6CxaJHDe5jD1E2jffaYfa-258AA3zMN6Pne-m44as-n6iZWcVxrGUZIkDKZ-3uUz1pAO4CJ9Y5Yldpg0AsDZLKooYzCNQfLHe5J3A~2s6UiIoIQJ14OQXVdBctpaSuHo2uzv2gzxFZxA0Esgg8EQOxwSDCTvx8l3kqWSVZAS2taHqJbTx64SyP9wJTH1euwMm1B36VDf3ge-a0gt~cCpGaOEgeKFmc5kcidfqzS96qtpy43sF~0E3IjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Vice Chair Buttry moved to concur in Senate Bill 464, an act that revises laws related to appointment and duties of special advocates in child abuse and neglect proceedings and provides a definition of \"special advocate.\" Committee staff, Ms. Allen, explained that one amendment (464.2.1) was available in the orange packet and that the requester/sponsor was Senator Lehi. The committee adopted amendment 464.2.1 by voice vote.

Representative Rebus said he \"liked\" parts of the bill and the amendment but indicated constituent concerns from Billings and announced he would vote with his district rather than in favor. After discussion the committee voted; proxies were recorded for several members. The committee reported the concurrence: \"Senate Bill 464 has been concurred in.\" Committee tally as recorded in the transcript was 18 Aye, 3 Nay.

The bill as presented revises appointment procedures and duties for court-appointed special advocates and included one committee amendment explained by staff. No text-level statutory changes beyond the amendment summary were discussed in detail during executive action. The committee recorded proxy votes; the committee chair declared the concurrence and asked for a carrier to carry the bill to the floor.","The House Health and Human Services Committee concurred in Senate Bill 464, approving an amendment and sending the bill forward after debate and a recorded vote.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6100418,"House committee approves interim study on guardianship issues",42,1349000,1391000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2813608-d2cd7e857465400da7738e2859e7e002&start=1349&end=1391","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2813608-d2cd7e857465400da7738e2859e7e002/thumbnail_1349000.jpg","/articles/6100418/Montana/House-committee-approves-interim-study-on-guardianship-issues","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6100418-8c26b41a786b39ec2dcd1cd9fee01d96/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153248&Signature=m18AfkuEt1dr1xXWljyIuRyxdgDMWHVlgGfg9hJzkNCcXhvKorlCgn44-naKfGwr~-JbIU8AK0uXfCd9AFKPi59ZmsTBoT4PXUpEwfVD3rFkAXK1XjK7GuvjrnnkmgdON8SUIMgnEJju6IQWry1h4mtwh-HJ1wVWIRTNrBq203H~egKZfRT4sYrk445m7-Z9KdXHTpJSXkXORi1Pwqo52zW4GsmMbuVIfOfTDcJD6p41VDaKaVLEOysCB6RIBRJ28Z7BK6yG2A-WgMsT-01ilXfAp5YRXU7x7tPz~u5EzI9oCUh1TXBrX~oCP9rnbFI6M9GY0rJcv324qSK~zKhNTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Vice Chair Buttry moved that the House Health and Human Services Committee give \"do pass\" recommendation to House Joint Resolution 26, a joint resolution requesting an interim study of guardianship issues and requiring follow-up as described in the resolution. The motion was adopted and the resolution passed in executive action.

The resolution, identified in committee as House Joint Resolution 26 and presented as a request for an interim study, was introduced on behalf of Representative Close. Committee staff recorded proxy votes for several members during the roll call and executive action. Chair Ochart voiced the affirmative and the committee clerk, Miss Moses, recorded attendance and proxies. The committee recessed briefly before convening executive action where the resolution was considered.

The committee did not discuss changes to statutory language in committee; the record shows the item was a request for an interim study rather than an immediate statutory change. The motion to pass carried with recorded proxy votes noted from members unable to attend; the committee declared the resolution passed in executive action.","The House Health and Human Services Committee voted to pass House Joint Resolution 26, requesting an interim study of guardianship issues and finalizing proxy votes for members unable to attend.","actionData","errors"]
