House Record Vote: 369

Passage; April 16, 2019; RV #369; Journal Page 1672; 96 Yeas, 50 Nays, 2 Present, not voting.

YCT Nay. HB 787 requires the creation of an advisory council on music therapy. This council’s purpose is to study the state’s recognition of music therapists. The bill mandates that the nine members of the council be appointed by the Governor from a list submitted by the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the House, along with defining several strict criteria for these candidates. YCT is against the bill not only because this council is unnecessary, but also because it’s excessive regulation.
