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 19, 2006. The committee held work sessions on January 24, 2006, January 25, 2006, January 31, 2006 and February 13, 2006. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1043h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 13–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1043h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 226–65. It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1793). The committee's amendment (1793) 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. On May 3, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 23–0 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. The bill was enrolled on May 24, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2330) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. 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 15, 2006, making it Chapter 292 of the session laws.
