Human Services committee advances three bills with amendments; amendments focus on military affiliation data, classroom materials and adult foster care
The House Human Services Committee approved amendments and voted to give due pass recommendations for three house bills as amended: House Bill 13‑38, House Bill 15‑62 and House Bill 14‑60. All three motions carried by roll call, with recorded tallies showing 11-0-2 votes in committee on each bill.

House Bill 13‑38: Committee members adopted amendments to add definitions for “military affiliated individual” and “military status,” and to allow the department or an authorized agent to perform certain duties related to data collection and coordination with military installations. Representative Dovervich moved to adopt the amendments; a subsequent due‑pass motion as amended carried on roll call. The committee record shows the department provided input on the amendments.

House Bill 15‑62: The committee adopted amendments requested by stakeholders and cleared by the education standards and practice board. Those changes add optional alternative classroom materials where concerns were raised about content that could trigger trauma and clarify training language previously approved. Representative Hawley moved to adopt amendments; Representative Rohrer moved a due pass as amended; the committee carried the motion on roll call.

House Bill 14‑60 (adult foster care changes): Members adopted amended language addressing use of video recording for monitoring and clarifying acceptable procedures. Representative Davis provided the proposed language; Representative Dobrevich moved adoption of the amendment, which passed by voice vote; a due‑pass motion carried by roll call as amended.

Across the three bills, sponsors and staff said the amendments were developed with departmental or stakeholder input, including input from standards boards and local school officials. Committee members did not record opposition during the hearings. Each bill now moves as amended for further consideration on the House calendar.
