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 14, 2010. The committee held work sessions on January 27, 2010 and February 4, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 9, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0539h). 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”. The committee's amendment (0539h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 3, 2010, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0783h) 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 27, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 5, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (1981) was adopted on May 12, 2010. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 19, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1981) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 9, 2010, making it Chapter 129 of the session laws.
