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 19, 2016. The committee held work sessions on February 16, 2016 and March 2, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0872h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0872h) 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1502s). The committee's amendment (1502s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 28, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On April 28, 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 Concurs with Senate Amendment 1502s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Kotowski. The bill was enrolled on May 19, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 7, 2016, making it Chapter 213 of the session laws.
