The Human Services, Youth & Early Learning Committee on an unspecified date voted to report substitute House Bill 1509 out of committee with a due‑pass recommendation. The clerk announced the tally as eight aye and three nay (two recorded as “do not pass” and one recorded as “nay without recommendation”).

The proposed substitute removes the exemption to the seven‑day waiting period in circumstances in which a patient is experiencing "irremediable pain or suffering," adds licensed marriage and family therapists to the list of professionals who may provide counseling consultations to determine competency and whether a patient is suffering from a psychological disorder or depression that could impair judgment, and makes technical edits including a missing cross‑reference and updating the statutory name for the advanced registered nurse practitioner profession. The summary language in the committee record also notes a clarification about the supervisory prohibition applying where one provider is a physician's assistant.

"This removes the exemption to the 7 day waiting period in circumstances in which the patient is experiencing irremediable pain or suffering," said a staff member summarizing the substitute during the committee hearing. The staff member also described the counseling‑provider addition and the technical cross‑reference changes.

Committee members did not propose further amendments on the floor of the committee after the substitute was presented. After roll call the clerk stated: "By your vote, substitute House Bill 1509 is reported out of committee with a due pass recommendation." The committee record lists the votes individually.

Votes at a glance: Bergquist (aye); Cortez (aye); Birnbaum (aye); Dent (aye); Goodman (aye); Hill (aye); Ortiz Self (aye); Taylor (aye); Eslic (no, do not pass); Penner (no, do not pass); Burnett (nay without recommendation).

The committee record does not list a floor mover or second by name for the motion to report the substitute; the motion was entered and the clerk proceeded to a roll call vote. The transcript does not include the bill's effective date or cross‑references beyond the technical fix noted by staff.

Committee members focused the discussion on the text of the substitute; there was no extended debate on policy intent recorded in the committee transcript provided. The substitute and the committee vote send the bill forward in the legislative process for further consideration.

Less critical procedural details: the committee recessed for caucus earlier in the session and returned to complete votes; any further amendments required to be posted to the legislative amendment portal by the deadline noted at the committee's adjournment.
