Committee advances SB740 on unconscious-bias training in maternal care after 13–7 vote
A House committee reported SB740, a measure addressing unconscious-bias and cultural competency training in maternal medicine, to the full House on a 13–7 recorded vote after a divided roll call.

Sen. Locke was identified as the bill’s Senate sponsor earlier in the meeting; committee members debated the measure and the clerk reported the tally as 13 in favor and 7 opposed. The committee chair asked for a vote after discussion; the motion to report the bill passed by recorded vote.

Committee discussion referenced prior votes and some dissent during earlier consideration of the bill; the transcript records the motion was moved and seconded and that the final roll call produced the 13–7 split. The transcript does not record the individual yes/no votes by member name on the roll call within the sections provided here.

The committee adjourned after completing the morning’s business.

The bill, as reported, now moves to the next stage of House consideration; the transcript does not specify implementation details, funding, or statutory language changes beyond the subject area of training in maternal medicine.
