The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 9, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on October 18, 2011 and October 25, 2011. The committee met in executive session on November 1, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2815h), and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 13–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2815h) was adopted on a division vote 295–64 on January 4, 2012, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2012-0090h) was adopted on a roll call 231–133 on January 4, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On January 4, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 229–133. It crossed to the Senate on January 18, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On March 21, 2012 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a roll call 19–5.
