The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2007. The committee met in executive session on February 7, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0091h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 22, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1976) was adopted on a voice vote on June 7, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On June 7, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 13, 2007 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1976s, Rep Rosenwald” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 14, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 28, 2007, making it Chapter 245 of the session laws.
