The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2018. The committee held work sessions on January 16, 2018 and January 25, 2018. The committee met in executive session on January 25, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0016h) by a vote of 17–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0016h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 8, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 8, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 8, 2018 the bill was referred to the Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 14, 2018. The committee held a work session on March 14, 2018. The committee met in executive session on March 15, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1122h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-1122h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 12, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
