The Story
It was introduced on January 19, 2017 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0498s). The committee's amendment (2017-0498s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 23, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On February 23, 2017 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 a public hearing on March 15, 2017. The committee met in executive session on March 22, 2017 and March 28, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-1165h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-1165h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On April 20, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 2017 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On June 1, 2017 the House adopted “House Refuses to Accede to Senate Request for CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Kotowski.
