The House Ways & Means Committee held one of its rare meetings today, this time to introduce six new bills. The leadership panel voted to introduce: Legislation from the state's court system regarding the duties and responsibilities of a guardian ad litem; a resolution from Rep. Gary Collins to reject a rule from the Department of Insurance (which was sent directly to the full House's 2nd Reading calendar); two bills from Rep. Eric Anderson regarding leases of geothermal resources; a concurrent resolution from Rep. John Rusche about Alzheimer's disease; and a measure from the Idaho Hospital Association regarding hospital assessments, a key piece of the state's plan for funding Medicaid next year.
