The Story

It was introduced on March 4, 2009 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1013s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 25, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On March 25, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 26, 2009 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 22, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On April 29, 2009 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 6, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 26, 2009, making it Chapter 58 of the session laws.
