Summary

During a brief executive-session referral, the Senate Human Services Committee voted to refer Senate Bill 5481, related to managed care organizations and Medicaid, to the Senate Health and Long Term Care Committee without recommendation; the motion passed by voice vote and is recorded as referred subject to signatures.

The Senate Human Services Committee moved Senate Bill 5481 to the Senate Health and Long Term Care Committee without recommendation during a short executive-session referral. The chair said the purpose of the executive session was "referring a bill to another committee without recommendation" and identified SB 5481 as the item before the committee.

A committee member moved the referral "to the Health and Long Term Care Committee without recommendation." After brief discussion about jurisdiction—committee members said the bill relates to managed-care and Medicaid and thus was more appropriate for Health and Long Term Care—the committee approved the motion by voice vote. The clerk reported the bill was referred "subject to signatures." The transcript records no roll-call vote or further debate.

Ending: The bill was referred without recommendation; the transcript indicates the referral and voice vote but no recorded roll call tally.
