The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 12, 2003 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1269). The committee's amendment (1269) was adopted on a voice vote on April 17, 2003, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1309), offered by Sen. O'Hearn, was adopted on a roll call 17–6 on April 17, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On April 17, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 17, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 8, 2003 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on May 28, 2003, as Chapter 78. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
