The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2016. The committee met in executive session on January 13, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0057h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0057h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 27, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On January 27, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 18, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2016-1861s), offered by Sen. Fuller Clark, was adopted on a division vote 15–8 on May 5, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 11, 2016 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 1861s and Requests CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Kotowski. On May 19, 2016 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 May 24, 2016 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 1, 2016 the Senate adopted the conference report (2025c) on a voice vote. On June 1, 2016 the House adopted the conference report (2025c) on a roll call 182–131. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 21, 2016, making it Chapter 285 of the session laws.
