The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 23, 1999 the Senate adopted “Recomit to PI-HHS”. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 6, 1999 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3160). On February 3, 2000 the Senate adopted “Referred to Finance” on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 3, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 10, 2000 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 17–0. On March 30, 2000 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 April 19, 2000. The committee held work sessions on April 27, 2000, May 1, 2000 and May 2, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 21–5. On May 18, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Squires Concur With House amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (4764) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 12, 2000, making it Chapter 251 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2001.
