The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 15, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 29, 2001 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 16–0, 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. The governor signed it on June 11, 2001, making it Chapter 51 of the session laws. It took effect on June 11, 2001.
