HOUSE BILL NO. 60 "An Act relating to mental health education." 2:31:16 PM Co-Chair Merrick indicated that the bill was previously heard on March 17, 2022, and the committee would consider 7 amendments. Representative Thompson noted that the Senate version was in third reading on the Senate Floor and if it passed the body, it would be referred to the House Finance Committee. He indicated that the amendments offered by the committee were not in the Senate version. He recommended waiting until the Senate version was referred to the committee. Representative Thompson MOVED to TABLE HB 60 until it was known whether the Senate would pass the bill. 2:32:32 PM AT EASE 2:35:23 PM RECONVENED Co-Chair Merrick OBJECTED. 2:35:51 PM AT EASE 2:39:09 PM RECONVENED Representative Thompson WITHDREW his motion. Representative Edgmon stated that a motion to table was nondebatable. He thought there should be an opportunity for the public to hear discussion regarding the motion. He stated the issue as he understood it. He voiced that the Senate companion bill, SB 80 would likely pass and be referred to the committee. The question was whether the committee act on the amendments during the hearing and duplicate the process when the Senate bill was referred. He noted that there were no formal rules to guide the decision, but it was customary to defer to members from its own body. REPRESENTATIVE MATT CLAMAN, SPONSOR, preferred to take up the amendments during the current meeting. He furthered that the amendments that passed could be taken up in a single amendment or a Committee Substitute (CS) if the Senate bill was referred. Representative Wool asked if the other co-chair was online to vote. Co-Chair Foster was present online. Representative Wool thought that if the committee currently debated the amendments the actions could act as guidance and did not necessarily mean adopted amendments had to be rolled into the Senate version of the bill. Co-Chair Merrick relayed that there was a firm 3:30 stop time. Representative Edgmon thought Representative Thompson should be able to make his case. Representative Thompson explained that he wanted to avoid the possibility of taking up the amendments twice. Representative Thompson MOVED to TABLE the bill until SB 80 was referred to committee. 2:43:02 PM A roll call vote was taken on the motion. IN FAVOR: Johnson, LeBon, Rasmussen, Thompson, Carpenter, Merrick, Foster OPPOSED: Edgmon, Josephson, Ortiz, Wool The MOTION PASSED (7/4). There being NO further OBJECTION, HB 60 was TABLED. HB 60 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further consideration. 2:44:10 PM AT EASE 2:44:32 PM RECONVENED Co-Chair Merrick reviewed the schedule for the following day.
