The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on March 5, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0724h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0724h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 21, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On June 4, 2015 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a division vote 8–15. Sen. Stiles offered a floor amendment (2015-2045s) on June 4, 2015; it was not voted on. On June 4, 2015 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a division vote 13–11, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 21, 2016 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
