The bill that could address the psychology board’s Sunset problems, SB 87, has been assigned to the Senate Health & Welfare Committee. It does not appear on the calendar which includes hearings for early April.
According to the bill’s digest, SB 87 “provides for the general re-creation of DHH and its statutory entities effective June 30, 2012, for a four-year period, in accordance with the ‘Sunset’ law.” It “Supersedes the provisions of the ‘Sunset’ law which sets out the procedures for review and re-creation and which require a separate bill to re-create each statutory entity within the department along with additional provisions.” It “Makes July 1, 2017, the new termination date and provides that such termination would begin July 1, 2016, unless the department is again re- created.”
