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 with changes (amendment 2011-0795s). The committee's amendment (0795s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 23, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 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 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 28, 2011. The committee held work sessions on May 10, 2011 and May 17, 2011. The committee met in executive session on May 17, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1830h), by a vote of 13–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar.
