The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2005. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 9, 2005 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 20, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1579), offered by Sen. Roberge, was adopted on a voice vote on May 26, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On May 26, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 26, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 8, 2005 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 15, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 30, 2005, making it Chapter 183 of the session laws. It took effect on August 29, 2005.
