Senate File 684, a technical measure to codify an existing process by which the Department of Human Services notifies the Revisor of Statutes about enacted provisions whose effective date is contingent on federal approval, was presented to the Senate Health and Human Services Committee on Feb. 18, 2025 and laid over for possible inclusion in other legislation.

Sponsor Senator Hoffman said the bill does not create a new process but seeks to provide transparency and a defined reporting cadence. Under the proposed language, DHS would notify the Revisor of Statutes of enacted provisions that include an effective date contingent on federal approval, and thereafter periodically report which provisions have received federal approval and the dates of those approvals. Examples of required report content would include the listing of provisions that received approval and a statement when none have.

Committee members had no major substantive questions and the chair said the bill would be laid over for possible inclusion in other bills later in the session. The committee record lists SF 684 as laid over on Feb. 18, 2025.
