The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2012. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 8, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 160–159. On February 8, 2012 the House failed “Reconsideration (Rep Vaillancourt)” on a roll call 132–196. It crossed to the Senate on April 11, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 3, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-2013s). The committee's amendment (2013s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 9, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 9, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 30, 2012 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #2013s (Rep Baldasaro)” on a division vote 176–130.
