The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 30, 2003 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 8, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 8, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1670) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 29, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 9, 2003, as Chapter 117. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
