The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0354). The committee's amendment (0354) was adopted on a voice vote on February 12, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On February 12, 2004 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 11, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 11, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 11, 2004 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 15, 2004 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on April 22, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
