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 28, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 2, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee reported: Refer to Interim Study for Feb 10 RC by a vote of 18–1. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it. On February 10, 2010 the House adopted “Special Ordered to Beginning of Feb 17 Regular Calendar”. On February 17, 2010 the House failed “Refer to Interim Study” on a division vote 135–218. A floor amendment (0574h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 17, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On February 17, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 300–56. On February 17, 2010 the House failed “Reconsideration (Rep Daniels)” on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 12, 2010 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2045s), offered by Sen. Cilley, was adopted on May 12, 2010, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2064s), offered by Sen. Downing, was rejected on a voice vote on May 12, 2010. On May 12, 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 Non-Concurs with Senate AM and Req Comm of Conf (Rep Rosenwald)” on a voice vote. On May 19, 2010 the Senate adopted “accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Cilley. A committee of conference met on May 24, 2010 and May 26, 2010 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
