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 5, 2003. The committee held a work session on February 13, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 9, 2003 and September 30, 2003. The committee met in executive session on October 14, 2003 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 11–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on January 29, 2004 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 18, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 4, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 4, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on March 11, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on March 19, 2004, making it Chapter 5 of the session laws. It took effect on May 18, 2004.
