[Vision2020] Hey, Sue (Hovey)!

[Tom Hansen]

Are you referring to . . .

House Bill 28

FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS - Amends existing law
to provide that no health care professional shall refuse to follow the
patient's or physician's directions as established in accordance with the
Medical Consent and Natural Death Act.

Or are you referring to . . .

House Bill 187

FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE - HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS - Amends existing law to
revise provisions relating to the Freedom of Conscience for Health Care
Professionals.

I am guessing that House Bill 28 is lining somebody's bird cage in the
House State Affairs Committee, seeings how it was returned to them a month
ago.

But, as far as House Bill 128 is concerned, I would keep an eye on the
House State Affairs Committee's calendar and see if it shows up any time
soon.

I hope this helps.
