The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3851). On March 23, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 23, 2000 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 10–4. On April 20, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 27, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Squires Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 23, 2000, making it Chapter 156 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2001.
