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 16, 2007. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended that the House pass it. On March 6, 2007 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 29, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1670) was adopted on a roll call 24–0 on May 24, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 24, 2007 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. The committee's amendment (2039) 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#1670s(New Title)&#2039s(2nd New Title) RepRosenwald” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2313) was adopted on June 13, 2007. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2313) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 20, 2007, making it Chapter 297 of the session laws.
