The Story

It was introduced on February 3, 2011 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-0791s). The committee's amendment (0791s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 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 31, 2011 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2011. The committee held a work session on April 19, 2011. The committee met in executive session on April 26, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1420h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1420h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 4, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On May 4, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 4, 2011 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 10, 2011. The committee held work sessions on May 17, 2011, May 19, 2011 and May 24, 2011. The committee met in executive session on May 24, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 26–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2113h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar.
