The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0989s). The committee's amendment (0989s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 26, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 26, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote 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 public hearings on April 9, 2015 and April 16, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 28, 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 and November 5, 2015. The committee met in executive session on November 5, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 6, 2016 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
