2009 House Bill 5614

Senate Roll Call 677: Passed

To not revise details of investigations related to state licensure mandate violations as the House-passed version of this bill did, but instead replace those provisions with the contents of Senate Bill 419, which allows a person who is age 16 to donate blood with parental consent, rather than age 17, and name the bill after the daughter of SB 419's sponsor, Sen. Wayne Kuipers, reportedly because he says he wants it passed for her. Also, to use the bill as a "vehicle" to establish that health professionals who do anything that comes under the scope of activities of a recently-imposed "physical therapist" licensure mandate are exempt from that mandate.
