House Completes Action on Three Bills

The House reconvened at 5:30 p.m. this evening and passed three bills to complete legislation.

House Bill 4171 will encourage the use of criminogenic testing for those in custody of the Division of Corrections. This psychological exam may be used to measure the likelihood of those in custody to commit a crime again, and to measure what that person’s psychological needs are. If available, the Parole Board is required to look at the results of such testing when making parole determinations.

The other bills completing legislative action include House Bill 4133, which will revise the licensing and eligibility requirements for the practice of marriage and family therapy, and Senate Bill 339, which relates to statewide voter registration list maintenance and makes a technical correction to that statute.

The following committees will meet today:
