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 March 10, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0975s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0975s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 26, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 26, 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 and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 28, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1365h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1365h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 6, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On May 6, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 14, 2015 the Senate adopted “Sen. Sanborn Concurs with House Amendment #1365h” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 3, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2015, making it Chapter 154 of the session laws. It took effect on June 12, 2015.
