The Story

It was introduced on February 15, 2001 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 12, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 17, 2001 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1439) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 21, 2001, making it Chapter 101 of the session laws. It took effect on August 20, 2001.
