 Number 001                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN GREEN called the Senate Health, Education and Social                 
 Services (HESS) Committee to order at 1:01 p.m. and introduced                
 HB 35  as the only order of business before the committee.                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR LEMAN said that he liked HB 35.  HB 35 would provide                  
 another tool for the Medical Board to use in sexual misconduct                
 cases.  He proposed an amendment, Amendment 1.  Amendment 1 on page           
 2, lines 28 and 29:  delete " or a person in an equivalent domestic          
 relationship with the licensee; " which would provide further                
 restrictions on the doctors.  Senator Leman moved that Amendment 1            
 be adopted.  Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.                         
                                                                               
 SENATOR MILLER moved that SCS CSHB 35(JUD) be moved out of                    
 committee with individual recommendations.  Hearing no objection,             
 it was so ordered.
