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 8, 2011. The committee held a work session on February 10, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 9, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0217h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0217h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2011 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. On April 27, 2011 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On April 27, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (2011-1752e) was adopted on May 4, 2011. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 18, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1752) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on May 27, 2011, making it Chapter 99 of the session laws.
