The Story

It was introduced on January 21, 2016 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2016. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 3, 2016. On March 3, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 512 to 03/10/2016, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2016-0907s), offered by Sen. Sanborn, was rejected on a voice vote on March 10, 2016. On March 10, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 10, 2016 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing 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, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 11, 2016 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 19, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 3, 2016, making it Chapter 192 of the session laws. It took effect on August 2, 2016.
