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 10, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 17, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 19, 2015, September 8, 2015, September 29, 2015, October 21, 2015 and November 5, 2015. The committee met in executive session on November 5, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 12–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-2551h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2015-2551h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 6, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On January 6, 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. On May 5, 2016 the Senate rejected a motion to pass it. On May 5, 2016 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley.
