The Senate Business and Labor Committee took executive action and concurred in House Bill 806, a measure that revises laws related to dietitians, after adopting an amendment to coordinate provisional-licensing language with House Bill 414.

The amendment, explained to the committee during the executive session, adds a coordination instruction: if both HB806 and HB414 are enacted and HB414 includes a section establishing standardized procedures for provisional licenses for boards and programs under Title 37 and related board-prescribed provisions, then section 13 of HB806 (which would have established provisional unlimited permits) becomes void. "This just adds a coordination instruction, and that is if this bill and House Bill 414 are passed and approved ... then section 13 of this act ... is void," said a committee staff member who explained the amendment during the action.

The amendment was adopted by voice vote. Committee members then voted by voice to concur in HB806 as amended. The transcript records Senators voting aye by proxy, including Senator Ellsworth and Vice Chair Trebes, and Senator Zolnikov was recorded as aye by proxy. The motion to concur as amended passed and the committee reported HB806 to the full Senate for floor consideration.

Committee members did not request additional debate on the bill after the amendment was explained. The staff explanation noted the amendment appears on pages 2 and 3 of the bill packet (printed pages 17 and 18) and specifically references section 13 of the act.

No roll-call tally of individual yes/no votes was provided in the transcript; votes were taken by voice and several proxy ayes were announced during the session. The transcript does not identify the individual senator who moved concurrence by full name on the record.

House Bill 806 will move to the Senate floor with the committee's recommendation to concur as amended.
