insurance was asked and but I did still have a question with regard to complaints and I just heard your answer about the frequency and what they involve but are Are

ALC - Occupational Licensing Review Subcommittee — Nov. 12, 2019 (1:05:05)

there standards that would dictate licensure revocation or suspension? You know what I mean? Is it very specific that if you do this, if a licensed acupuncturist

ALC - Occupational Licensing Review Subcommittee — Nov. 12, 2019 (1:04:46)

thank you representative flowers thank you madam chair my question about

ALC - Occupational Licensing Review Subcommittee — Nov. 12, 2019 (24:16)

You've been through it in Texas. you've been practicing in Texas, but we want to have access to any record of any complaints so that that would be a part of the record here as well since you're operating on that license. Am I making sense? Yes. I'm not sure that I

field, and let's say an occupational therapist, and that person comes from Texas, and that person might have a record where there were a number of complaints, but nothing that ever materialized into a lawsuit or nothing that ever materialized into the suspension of the license, I'm wondering if it would make sense to, as we say, okay, we will extend that license, we'll be a part of some sort of pact where you don't have to go through the same red tape in Arkansas.

ALC - Occupational Licensing Review Subcommittee — Nov. 12, 2019 (23:22)

totally agree with what we're doing, especially when you're talking about streamlining and making sure that people can

ALC - Occupational Licensing Review Subcommittee — Nov. 12, 2019 (23:28)

have seamless transitions, moving state to state. I'm just wondering if there is room for, or if there was discussion about ensuring that information was shared. So if we're going to take someone who is in a given

ALC - Occupational Licensing Review Subcommittee — Nov. 12, 2019 (21:33)

what I mean, in terms of punishment or fleshing out that complaint. How did we deal with that, especially where safety to the public is a concern? Well,

ALC - Occupational Licensing Review Subcommittee — Nov. 12, 2019 (21:02)

So if someone is coming from another state with a license to do something, especially related to health careers, if there is something in place to ensure that someone's not coming from another state and had a complaint or something like that, quit the position, left the state, and then would come here with something that wasn't fully fleshed out as, you know

ALC - Occupational Licensing Review Subcommittee — Nov. 12, 2019 (20:39)

read this outline, and I don't believe I've ever had the opportunity to attend any of the meetings and was aware of some of the legislation that passed previously, Wondering whether or not how much focus was paid to, I guess, safety and accountability.

Public Health Welfare & Labor Committee (Senate & House) — Dec. 9, 2019 (2:50:57)

if we're talking about prevention then we were talking about prevention but as adoption and abortion came up in the conversation right and budget hearings I'm just concerned that as we if we go into that conversation that there won't be a perception or a rhetoric that any college that is providing information for someone asking for it or as a part of the

Public Health Welfare & Labor Committee (Senate & House) — Dec. 9, 2019 (2:49:06)

going to be Dr. And I just wanted to make sure that as we're looking at this information that a university or a college providing, you know, an opportunity for there to be some activity, that if resources and information for that as an option, as it exists legally in the state, that there wouldn't be any perception or any rhetoric indicating that that would be somehow not following the law.

Public Health Welfare & Labor Committee (Senate & House) — Dec. 9, 2019 (2:48:27)

be clear just from the questions in the conversation, is there a prohibition on mentioning abortion or providing resources or information to young young women seeking abortion or in the conversation about this? The conversations when

Public Health Welfare & Labor Committee (Senate & House) — Dec. 9, 2019 (2:41:29)
