A Northern Kentucky representative was again tapped to chair the Kentucky House of Representatives Health Services Committee.
Rep. Kimberly Poore Moser (R-Taylor Mill), who represents House District 64 in central Kenton County, will lead the committee that works on crafting public policy to determine how the state addresses health care, mental health, substance abuse and medical providers.
“I am honored to continue serving as Chair of the Health Services Committee,” Moser said in a press release. “Our state faces significant healthcare challenges and far too many of our people die too early from preventable deaths, but I am committed to working with my colleagues and other stakeholders to address these challenges and ensure Kentuckians have the care they need.”
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, a committee chair “serves as the parliamentary head of a committee. The chair sets the committee’s agenda, determining when—or in many states, whether—bills will be considered.”
“During Chairwoman Moser’s tenure, the House Health Services committee has been instrumental in advancing legislation aimed at improving access to care, strengthening our response to substance abuse, and addressing critical public health issues like maternal health,” Kentucky House Speaker David Osborne (R-Prospect) said in the release.
The 2025 Regular Session will convene on Tuesday, Jan. 7, and legislators will meet for 30 legislative days before adjourning by March 29.
