The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2011. The committee held work sessions on February 15, 2011, February 16, 2011 and March 3, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 9, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0748h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0748h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 30, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-1539s). The committee's amendment (1539s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 4, 2011, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2011-1743s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was adopted on a voice vote on May 4, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On May 4, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 18, 2011 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1539s (Rep Reagan)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 9, 2011, as Chapter 157. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
