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 January 18, 2000. On March 23, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 13–9. On March 23, 2000 the Senate voted to lay it on the table 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 12, 2000. The committee held work sessions on April 18, 2000, April 25, 2000 and May 2, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 12–6. On May 18, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Requests C of C” on a voice vote.
