SB 35-EXTEND SUICIDE PREVENTION COUNCIL
2:10:55 PM
CHAIR DAVIS announced consideration of SB 35.
DIANE CASTO, Manager, Prevention and Early Intervention Section,
Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), said the
Suicide Prevention Council recommended changes to the membership
that had been part of the recommendations of Legislative Audit.
2:12:58 PM
SENATOR PASKVAN moved to adopt work draft CS for SB 35, labeled
26-LS0229\R, as the working document. There being no objection,
version R was before the committee.
2:14:24 PM
PAT DAVIDSON, Legislative Auditor, Division of Legislative
Audit, said the Audit's only recommendation that would involve
any statutory changes is the composition of the council. It
found that the council had difficulty establishing quorums and
filling positions. At first they encouraged the Governor's
Office to make more timely appointments, but the same problems
persisted. So they suggested modifying requirements for being on
the council, but didn't recommend anything in particular. They
wanted to see the council and legislature work together to find
the interested people who are willing to serve.
SENATOR DYSON asked if the CS responds to that recommendation.
MS. DAVIDSON replied yes, if it is acceptable to the council and
the legislature.
2:16:52 PM
SENATOR PASKVAN moved to report CSSB 35(HSS) from committee with
individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). There
were no objections and it was so ordered.
