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 14, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0796s). The committee's amendment (2017-0796s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2017 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass with an amendment, but its third reading was left pending. On March 16, 2017 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on June 22, 2017, having been set aside and never taken back up.
