Health and Human Services Bills Passed Both Houses as of May 13, 2025

After dragging their feet in passing any House Bills, The Senate suspended rules to take up a significant number of House Bills.  Those related to Health and Human Services are presented below and represent all bills passed by both houses as of May 13, 2025. HB136  Hull et al, relating to Medicaid coverage and reimbursement for lactation consultation services. Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for most babies given the amount of vitamins, minerals, and other various nutrients included in the milk. Unfortunately, many mothers who would like to breastfeed struggle to find affordable, accessible professional support to navigate the journey of breastfeeding. Unfortunately, funding for lactation support services through WIC is likely to end this fall, leaving a crucial unmet gap in demand for these services. Additionally, some situations may fall outside of basic breastfeeding support which require referral to International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants. H.B. 136 e
