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 February 2, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0385s). The committee's amendment (0385s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 11, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On February 11, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 11, 2016 and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2016. The committee met in executive session on May 3, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1676h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1676h) 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (2016-2116e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 16, 2016, making it Chapter 269 of the session laws.
