The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 1997 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0. On March 5, 1997 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 14, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 20–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 2, 1997. On April 2, 1997 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 10, 1997 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 7, 1997. The committee voted 5–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it. On May 13, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 20, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 29, 1997 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On May 29, 1997 the Senate adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 4, 1997 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 10, 1997 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 10, 1997 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report”. The bill was enrolled on June 10, 1997 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 24, 1997, as Chapter 346. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
