The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2013 and referred to the Senate Health, Education and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-0731s). The committee's amendment (0731s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 14, 2013 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 27, 2013 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2013. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 8, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (1835e) was adopted on May 8, 2013. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 29, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2013-1835e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 25, 2013, making it Chapter 113 of the session laws. It took effect on August 24, 2013.
