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 2011-0304s). The committee's amendment (0304s) 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, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On March 23, 2011 the Senate rejected a motion to send it back to committee on a voice vote. 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 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 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 1404h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1404h) 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 Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 17, 2011.
