Medical bill clears key hurdle

The House Appropriations Committee tonight gave the WSU medical school bill a do pass recommendation, sending it to the Rules Committee where it will await a vote of the full House of Representatives.

House Bill 1559 passed out on a 24-9 vote.

The Senate version of the bill passed out of the Senate Ways & Means Committee on a 21-0 vote earlier this week. It is now awaiting a floor vote in the upper chamber.

Today was the deadline for bills to be moved out of the budget committees.
