The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 2, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 16, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 16, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 22, 2006 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2006. The committee voted 13–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1768h). The committee's amendment (1768h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 19, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On April 19, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 2006 the Senate adopted “Sen. Martel Non Concur with House Amendment Requests Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. On May 11, 2006 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for Conf Comm” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 15, 2006 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 24, 2006 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. On May 24, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 24, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 15, 2006, making it Chapter 297 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2006.
