The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0802h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0802h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 11, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 18, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 2, 2012, making it Chapter 39 of the session laws.
