House Government Organization discussed HB 2376 and HB Originating in committee this morning.
HB 2376 would provide that the Bureau for Medical Services be renamed the Department of Medical Services with the Commissioner of the Bureau for Medical Services becoming the Secretary of the Department of Medical Services. The bill would provide that the Department continue to operate as currently configured as the Bureau for Medical Services with the structure of the Department of the Health and Human Resources for administrative support, interagency cooperation and program support.
HB Originating would create the Board of Nursing and Health services, by combining all nursing and health boards into one.
