The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2006. The committee held work sessions on January 26, 2006 and January 31, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0738h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 22, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 23, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2067). The committee's amendment (2067) was adopted on a roll call 18–4 on May 4, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On May 4, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 22–0 and ordered it to a third reading. On May 4, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 11, 2006 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 7, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 30, 2006, making it Chapter 328 of the session laws. It took effect on June 30, 2006.
