The Story

It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 31, 2002 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on February 20, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 21, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on March 21, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 2, 2002, making it Chapter 22 of the session laws.
