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 12, 2015. The committee held a work session on March 3, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0718h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0718h) 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 March 31, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1709s). On May 21, 2015 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0235s). The committee's amendment (0235s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 4, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On February 4, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 23, 2016 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 0235s (NT) and Requests CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Kotowski. On March 31, 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 12, 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 (1962c) on a voice vote. On June 1, 2016 the House adopted the conference report (1962c) on a voice vote. 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 284 of the session laws.
