The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2000. The committee held a work session on February 2, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 17, 2000. On February 17, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 17, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 6, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 18, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 18, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 1, 2000, making it Chapter 234 of the session laws. It took effect on June 1, 2000.
