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 12, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On March 7, 2012 the Senate failed “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. 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 a public hearing on April 3, 2012. The committee met in executive session on April 17, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 12–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 25, 2012 the House voted to kill it on a division vote 238–53.
