The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 2, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 10, 2010. On February 10, 2010 the House adopted “Special Ordered to Regular Place in Feb 17 Consent Calendar”. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 17, 2010. On February 17, 2010 the House adopted “Special Ordered to Next Session Day Beginning of Calendar”. A floor amendment (0615h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 3, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On March 3, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 13, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1650s), offered by Sen. Sgambati, was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 19, 2010 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1650s (Rep Rosenwald)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 2, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2138) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 1, 2010, making it Chapter 233 of the session laws.
