The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 11, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 361 to the Beginning of the Regular Calendar, Without Objection”. On February 11, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 11, 2016 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2016. The committee held a work session on March 22, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 13, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1382h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1382h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 11, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On May 11, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 19, 2016 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. 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 10, 2016, making it Chapter 240 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2017.
