Regular Session 2017

Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

HR199 designates four bills as the special, priority items on the House's calendar for the 13th legislative day.

What This Bill Does

It does not change any laws by itself; it simply moves four bills to the special order of business so they are considered before other items on the 13th day. The four bills are HB98 (unborn rights to life constitutional amendment), HB95 (Health Care Rights of Conscience Act allowing conscience-based refusals with exceptions), HB96 (Assisted Suicide Ban Act prohibiting aid in dying under certain conditions with civil/criminal penalties), and HB24 (Child Placing Agency Inclusion Act prohibiting discrimination against child care providers with civil remedies). If the resolution passes, these bills would be prioritized for action on that day.

Who It Affects

• Unborn children and supporters who would be affected by a proposed constitutional amendment to protect the right to life.
• Health care providers, patients seeking services, and child care providers/organizations affected by conscience protections, anti-discrimination rules, and the misopposed end-of-life provisions in the four bills.

Key Provisions

• HB98: Constitutional amendment to affirm the right to life of unborn children.
• HB95: Health Care Rights of Conscience Act; authorizes health care providers to decline to perform services that violate their conscience, with specified exceptions.
• HB96: Assisted Suicide Ban Act; bans providing aid in dying under certain conditions and imposes civil and criminal penalties.
• HB24: Child Placing Agency Inclusion Act; prohibits the state from discriminating against child care service providers under certain conditions and provides civil remedies.
