The Story

It was introduced on February 18, 1999 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 6, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 8, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on June 9, 1999 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on June 15, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 16–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
