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 February 8, 2006. The committee held a work session on February 21, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1140h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 16, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1795). The committee's amendment (1795) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1975). The committee's amendment (1975) was adopted on a voice vote on May 3, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On May 3, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 3, 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. An enrolled bill amendment (2381) was adopted on May 24, 2006.
