The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2009 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2009. The committee held a work session on February 17, 2009. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On March 11, 2009 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 18, 2009 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1041s), offered by Sen. Bragdon, was rejected on a roll call 8–14 on March 25, 2009. On March 25, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 22–0 and ordered it to a third reading.
