Minutes for SB433 - Committee on Health and Human Services
Short Title
Clarifying practice privileges of institutional license holders.
Minutes Content for Tue, Mar 5, 2024
Carly Humes, Revisor of Statutes, provided an overview of SB433.
Scott Brunner, Deputy Secretary for Hospitals and Facilities, Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS), provided testimony in support of SB433 (Attachment 1). The substance of the bill is simply changing the "and" to "or" which joins three subsections regarding qualifications for and institutional licensed doctor. Reading the three subsections with an "and" instead of the "or" has created issues for our state hospitals in hiring doctors. The connection prevents KDADS from hiring institutional doctors that practice primary care medicine only. Subsections 1 and 2 cannot be read together to allow the state hospitals to hire a new Psychiatrist with less than three years of experience.
Mr. Brunner responded to questions from the committee.
The hearing on SB433 was closed.
Without objection the committee will work SB433. There were no objections.
Representative Eplee motioned and Representative Ruiz seconded to pass out SB433 favorably. Motion carried.
