The sponsor said the recommendation came from the Joint Commission on Healthcare and described mobile dispensing as a tool to reach more people quickly and ‘‘keep individuals alive.’’ During committee questions, Delegate O'Rourke proposed adding the word ‘‘may’’ to give the agency discretion before implementation; the sponsor supported the suggestion as a friendly amendment. The amendment was accepted and the committee then moved to report the bill.
No public opposition was recorded. The subcommittee voted to report SB 8 41, as amended, to Appropriations; the clerk recorded the bill as reported by a vote of 8 to 0.
The bill will proceed to Appropriations for fiscal review.
