The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0635s). The committee's amendment (0635s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 12, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 12, 2015 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 12, 2015 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 7, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1223h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1223h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 15, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On April 15, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 3, 2015 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for Committee of Conference (Rep Hinch)” on a voice vote. On June 4, 2015 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes 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.
