The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1030s). The committee's amendment (1030s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 8, 2012 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1455h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1455h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 11, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On April 11, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 2, 2012 the Senate adopted “Sen. Bradley Concurs with House Amendment #1455h” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2206e) was adopted on May 9, 2012. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 17, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2012-2206e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 7, 2012, making it Chapter 152 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2013.
