The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2011 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-0296s). The committee's amendment (0296s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 23, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On February 23, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 16, 2011 and was referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2011. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1368h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1368h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 13, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On April 13, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 347–1. On April 20, 2011 the Senate adopted “Sen. Bradley Concurs with House Amendment 1368h” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 4, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 19, 2011, making it Chapter 84 of the session laws.
