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 February 11, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 10–7 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 10, 2010 the House voted to pass it 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 with changes. The committee's amendment (1648s) 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 Non-Concurs with Senate AM & Requests Comm of Conf (Rep G.Richardson)” on a voice vote. On May 19, 2010 the House adopted “Speaker Appoints: Reps Schulze, DiPenti”. On May 19, 2010 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sgambati. A committee of conference met on May 24, 2010 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
