relative to relative to the penalty for false reports of suspected abuse and neglect made to the division for children, youth, and families, and relative to the maternal mortality review committee, electric vehicle charging stations and fees for annual testing by the division of weights and measures, and relative to the acceptance of portraits of Senator Sylvia Larsen and Senator Jeb Bradley for the state house.
HB 243 is a multi-topic bill containing several unrelated provisions. It increases penalties for false reports of child abuse to the Division for Children, Youth, and Families; modifies the Maternal Mortality Review Committee; establishes rules for electric vehicle charging stations; adjusts fees for annual testing by the Division of Weights and Measures; and authorizes accepting portraits of Senators Larsen and Bradley for the State House. The bill was referred to conference committee but a final report was not filed (as of July 8, 2025), meaning it did not advance to the governor. This is not a single policy change but a collection of separate amendments to existing laws and procedures.
