The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2001. The committee held work sessions on February 7, 2001, February 13, 2001 and March 15, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 5, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 12, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 15, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 17, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 24, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1226) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2001, making it Chapter 58 of the session laws. It took effect on June 12, 2001.
