The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 2009. The committee held a work session on March 9, 2009. The committee met in executive session on March 18, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on August 6, 2009, September 9, 2009 and November 10, 2009. The committee met in executive session on November 10, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2376h). The committee's amendment (2376h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 6, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On January 6, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 3, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 31, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 12, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 7, 2010, making it Chapter 15 of the session laws.
