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 February 16, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0091h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0091h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 9, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 9, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 7, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 21, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 3, 2016, making it Chapter 38 of the session laws.
