The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 9, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 16, 2017 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 15, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 23, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2017-1226e) was adopted on a voice vote on March 23, 2017. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on April 6, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2017-1226e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on April 17, 2017, making it Chapter 19 of the session laws. It took effect on April 17, 2017.
