The Story

It was introduced on February 22, 2001 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1114). On May 9, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1155), offered by Sen. Prescott, was adopted on a voice vote on May 9, 2001, changing the text of the bill. 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 May 15, 2001. The committee held work sessions on May 16, 2001 and May 22, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 31, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 7, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Wheeler Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1610) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 5, 2001, making it Chapter 198 of the session laws. It took effect on July 5, 2001.
