The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Health, Education and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 11, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1064s). The committee's amendment (1064s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 2014 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 April 1, 2014 and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 16, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 23, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 23, 2014 the bill was referred to the Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 29, 2014.
