The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 14, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 14, 2002 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 4, 2002 the House voted to pass it.
