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 10, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 23, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2011. The committee held a work session on April 21, 2011. The committee met in executive session on April 21, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 4, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 31, 2011, making it Chapter 117 of the session laws.
