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 18, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0251h) by a vote of 12–7, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0251h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 215–108. It crossed to the Senate on March 8, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1275s). On April 5, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 04/19/2018, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1275s). The committee's amendment (2018-1275s) was adopted on April 19, 2018, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2018-1504s), offered by Sen. James Gray, was rejected on a roll call 8–14 on April 19, 2018. On April 19, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 10, 2018 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1275s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Kotowski. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2018, making it Chapter 248 of the session laws.
