The Story

It was introduced on January 21, 2016 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 10, 2016 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2016-0965s), offered by Sen. Sanborn, was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 10, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1055s). On March 24, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 533 to After Lunch, Without Objection”. The committee's amendment (1055s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 24, 2016, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2016-1157s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was adopted on a roll call 24–0 on March 24, 2016, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2016-1172s), offered by Sen. Woodburn, was rejected on a roll call 10–14 on March 24, 2016. On March 24, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 12, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1356h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1356h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On April 20, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 235–109. On April 20, 2016 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held work sessions on April 26, 2016, April 27, 2016 and May 3, 2016. The committee met in executive session on May 4, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 23–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1872h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1872h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 11, 2016, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2016-1922h), offered by Rep. Hoell, was rejected on a roll call 98–204 on May 11, 2016. On May 11, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 19, 2016 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. On May 19, 2016 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Kotowski. A committee of conference met on May 23, 2016, May 24, 2016, May 25, 2016 and May 26, 2016 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 1, 2016 the House adopted the conference report (2097c) on a voice vote. On June 1, 2016 the Senate adopted the conference report (2097c) on a roll call 24–0. The bill was enrolled on June 16, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2016-2139e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 24, 2016, making it Chapter 330 of the session laws.
