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 12, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0312h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0312h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 12, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 12, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes 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 14, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1710s). On May 21, 2015 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 564 to the end of the Regular Calendar, Without Objection”. The committee's amendment (1710s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 21, 2015, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2015-1898s), offered by Sen. Kelly, was rejected on a roll call 10–14 on May 21, 2015. 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 Concurs with Senate Amendment #1710s (Rep Kotowski)” 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 6, 2015, making it Chapter 199 of the session laws. It took effect on June 30, 2015.
