The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 17, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0236h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0236h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 4, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 4, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 5, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1715s). The committee's amendment (1715s) was rejected on a voice vote on May 21, 2015. A floor amendment (2015-1883s), offered by Sen. Sanborn, was adopted on a voice vote on May 21, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On May 21, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 3, 2015 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment #1883s and Requests Committee of Conference (Rep Kotowski)” on a voice vote. On June 4, 2015 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. A committee of conference met on June 17, 2015 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2292c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (2292c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 13, 2015, making it Chapter 238 of the session laws.
