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 March 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 committee held a work session on April 24, 2001. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–4. On May 17, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 24, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Wheeler Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 7, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 19, 2001, making it Chapter 85 of the session laws. It took effect on August 18, 2001.
