Judiciary Committee Reports Three Bills to the Senate

The Senate Judiciary Committee met Thursday afternoon to review three bills on the agenda.

Senate Bill 157, Bundle 2, would authorize the Department of Administration to promulgate a legislative rule relating to purchasing.

Senate Bill 175, Bundle 5, would add more information to the Collection and Exchange of Data Related to Overdoses. The bill directly relates to SB 272 which was passed in the 2018 Regular Session. The bill would include hospital emergency rooms and departments to the list of mandatory reporters.

Senate Bill 387 would update provisions authorizing the Governor to seek the return of fugitives who have been convicted of a crime, have violated bail, probation, parole, or have been improperly released from confinement when those persons flee to another state or to the District of Columbia.

All three bills were reported to the Senate to be voted upon.
