The Story

It was introduced on January 21, 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 12–6 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 division vote 207–99. 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. The bill was enrolled on May 13, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 1, 2010, making it Chapter 114 of the session laws.
