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 31, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 7, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–7 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 15, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 15, 2017 the bill was referred to the Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 28, 2017. The committee held a work session on March 1, 2017. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–3 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 8, 2017 the House voted to pass it 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 with changes (amendment 2017-1705s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 18, 2017 the Senate adopted “Rerefer” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-2004s). The committee's amendment (2017-2004s) was adopted on a roll call 22–1 on May 31, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On May 31, 2017 the Senate took up 4 floor amendments and rejected all of them: 2017-2150s (Sen. Feltes, 9–14), 2017-2149s (Sen. Feltes, 9–14), 2017-2148s (Sen. Feltes, 9–14) and 2017-2152s (Sen. Feltes, 9–14). On May 31, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it with changes. On May 31, 2017 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration on Ought to Pass with Amendment” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On May 31, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On June 8, 2017 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2004s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Kotowski. The bill was enrolled on June 22, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 10, 2017, making it Chapter 221 of the session laws.
