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 21, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 9, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 235-FN to after Public and Municipal Affairs, Without Objection”. On March 9, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On March 23, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 235-FN to the Next Session, Without Objection”. On March 29, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 235-FN to 03/30/2017, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On March 30, 2017 the Senate rejected a motion to send it back to committee on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2017-1106s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was adopted on a voice vote on March 30, 2017, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2017-1231s), offered by Sen. Sanborn, was adopted on a voice vote on March 30, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 30, 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 April 12, 2017. The committee held a work session on April 14, 2017. The committee met in executive session on April 18, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-1421h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-1421h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 4, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On May 4, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 4, 2017 the bill was referred to the Finance committee, whose chair waived the referral under House Rule 46(f). On May 18, 2017 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The bill was enrolled on June 8, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 29, 2017, making it Chapter 187 of the session laws. It took effect on August 28, 2017.
