SB 300-HEALTH CARE: PLAN/COMMISSION/FACILITIES
1:35:53 PM
CHAIR DAVIS announced consideration of SB 300. She said she had
changed the bill so that the department rather than the
commission would be responsible for hiring a contractor to
perform the CON study and asked if anyone on the committee
wanted to comment.
SENATOR ELTON said he was prepared for a motion.
SENATOR DYSON said he was a little uncomfortable that they were
ducking the CON issue; it needed to be addressed. He believed
the rest of the bill had value and needed to be done, but wished
they had time to work through this issue. He said that, even
with Chair Davis' change, it was still possible that the results
could be "stacked," and asked if she had considered having the
department submit a short list of 2 or 3 contractors to the
legislature for a final decision.
CHAIR DAVIS said she had not, but they could look at that when
it got to Finance.
SENATOR DYSON said Finance was so backed up that he doubted much
of that kind of work was going to get done. He pointed out that
Chair Davis had enough votes to pass this out and he would not
strenuously object.
CHAIR DAVIS said she would like to have Senator Dyson's vote
too, and she wanted to hear from Senator Elton on the matter.
She asked Senator Elton if the current version of the bill gave
him more confidence than the previous one had.
SENATOR ELTON thanked her for asking. He was not sure they would
ever get to his comfort level or Senator Dyson's; they might
just have to assume good behavior was going to happen. He said
he was prepared to go with her solution.
1:40:00 PM
SENATOR COWDERY moved to adopt the proposed committee substitute
CSSB 300, labeled 25-LS1, Version \C, as the working document of
the committee. There being no objection, the motion carried.
SENATOR DYSON said he would have more comfort with moving this
bill today if she would commit to move the Governor's bill out
in the next week.
CHAIR DAVIS said the bill would be moved, but she could not
commit to a specific time frame as there was still work to be
done on it.
SENATOR DYSON said he trusted her to do that, but didn't always
trust the process and was worried it might die because of
timing.
SENATOR COWDERY moved to report SB 300 from the committee with
individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s).
1:42:07 PM
SENATOR DYSON objected.
A roll call was taken. Senators Cowdery, Elton, Thomas, and
Davis voted yea and Senator Dyson voted nay. Therefore the
motion passed 4:1 and CSSB 300(HES) moved from committee.
