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 February 2, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 7, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it 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 public hearings on March 27, 2012 and April 3, 2012. The committee held work sessions on April 10, 2012 and April 12, 2012. The committee met in executive session on April 17, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 15–3. The report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (2012-1780h) was adopted on a roll call 226–106 on April 25, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On April 25, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 9, 2012 the Senate adopted “Non-concur with House Amendment 1780h” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley.
