The Legislative Session officially began last week. The main activities have been legislators putting the final touches on their proposed bills and accumulating cosponsors. The major committees didn’t meet last week – including the House and Senate Health Committees.
House and Senate Health Committees aren’t really meeting next week (well the Senate is but just two minor bills on the agenda). In the coming weeks the House Health meetings Mondays at 2pm with Senate Health meeting on Wednesdays at 9am.
Below are the bills related to public health so far. There are undoubtedly some I’ve missed (they are being posted at a fast and furious rate) – but we will catch up. Where you see a YES or NO that means we signed up in RTS for or against the bill.
Here’s a link to our short committee meeting at 2pm this afternoon: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84425365182
