The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 9, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1280). The committee's amendment (1280) was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2005 the Senate adopted “Ought o Pass with Amendment” on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 5, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 11, 2005 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 19, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 31, 2005, making it Chapter 73 of the session laws. It took effect on May 31, 2005.
