The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2008. The committee met in executive session on January 29, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On February 6, 2008 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 21, 2008 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 10, 2008 the Senate adopted “Recommit to Committee” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Estabrook. The committee held a public hearing on April 29, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1638) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On May 8, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 14, 2008 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1638 NT (Rep Rosenwald)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 21, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 6, 2008, making it Chapter 144 of the session laws.
