The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2015. The committee held a work session on February 19, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 11, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 7, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 19, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 2, 2015, making it Chapter 64 of the session laws.
