The Senate Health Committee approved the governor’s appointments during a brief procedural item at the start of the meeting.

Senator Johnson moved that the committee approve the governor’s appointments to the Senate Committee on Rules and Reference and named Kelly Garza and Richard Kamuski for the Chemical Dependency Professional Board. Committee members provided no discussion on the nominations. The clerk called the roll; the transcript records affirmative responses from Chair Huffman, Vice Chair Johnson and several senators and representatives listed by name. Committee leadership asked appointees to sign the roll before leaving.

The committee treated the item as a consent matter and moved on to subsequent agenda items. No further debate or objection was recorded in the hearing transcript.
