Ms. Meyer revisited the bill's subject matter, the nonsubstantive relocation of the statute related to the Commission on Family Medicine to its organic statute, from title 25, C.R.S., to title 25.5, C.R.S.

Senator Steadman asked about technical changes and conforming amendments and Ms. Meyer confirmed that she had shared the bill draft with the Departments of Public Health and Environment and Health Care Policy and Financing, as well as Kim Marvel, the current executive director of the Commission on Family Medicine. No stakeholder was opposed to the legislation or the conforming amendments.

Representative Thurlow was designated as the House Prime Sponsor and Chairperson Moreno as the Senate Prime Sponsor. Senator Holbert shared that because the 2017 sunset bills are all originating in the Senate, the SRC bills should all originate in the House. The Committee agreed to Senator Holbert's suggestion. All committee members will be listed as cosponsors.

Ms. Meyer asked the Committee if staff had permission to modify any of the bills prepared for introduction if technical changes were found as they were being prepared for bill paper. The Committee had no objection.
