The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 23, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 20–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0638h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0638h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 9, 2017, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2017-0721h), offered by Rep. W. Marsh, was rejected on a voice vote on March 9, 2017. On March 9, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 20, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (2017-1551e) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2017. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 4, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2017-1551e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 16, 2017, making it Chapter 137 of the session laws.
