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 February 4, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 13, 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 with changes (amendment 1368). On May 8, 2003 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On May 29, 2003 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (1368) was adopted on a voice vote on May 29, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On May 29, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 29, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 5, 2003 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 30, 2003, making it Chapter 196 of the session laws. It took effect on June 30, 2003.
