The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held public hearings on February 14, 2000 and February 24, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3826). 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 public hearings on April 5, 2000 and April 11, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 20, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 2000. The committee held work sessions on May 2, 2000, May 9, 2000 and May 10, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 24–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 17, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. 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. The governor signed it on June 12, 2000, making it Chapter 255 of the session laws. It took effect on June 12, 2000.
