The Senate has passed four bills today to be sent to the House for further consideration.
SB 198 would extend eligibility for loans to health care practitioners who practice in areas of the state which have a need for emergency medical providers.
SB 280 would move the association of the Civil Air Patrol from the Aeronautics Commission and realign it under the Military Forces of the state because one of the Civil Air Patrol’s primary missions is the provision of emergency services, including aerial and ground search and rescue operations, homeland security operations and disaster relief operations.
SB 338 would amend the Medical Professional Liability Act by adding a definition for “occurrence,” providing for a preference of venue, establishing an attorney’s fees schedule based upon the amount recovered, establishing the effective date and providing for severability.
SB 358 would permit a timeshare managing entity to foreclose upon its statutory lien for assessments in the manner of sales under trust deeds. The bill further provides for the naming of a trustee by the managing entity to carry out the sale and require notice.
Members of the Senate also adopted SR 33, which designated today as Disability Advocacy Day at the Capitol.
Senate Bills 537-563 were introduced.
Senate Bills 173, 185, 206, 220 and 365 were advanced to a second reading.
