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 19, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-0877s). The committee's amendment (0877s) 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 April 3, 2012. The committee met in executive session on April 17, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 25, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 25, 2012 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on May 8, 2012. The committee held a public hearing on May 10, 2012 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2012-2164h). The committee voted unanimously, 26–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 15, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 7, 2012, making it Chapter 156 of the session laws. It took effect on June 7, 2012.
