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 11, 2018. The committee met in executive session on January 11, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 8, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 8, 2018 the bill was referred to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 6, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 8, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 12, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the next session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 19, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the next session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2018-1740s), offered by Sen. Daniels, was adopted on a voice vote on April 26, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On April 26, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On May 10, 2018 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1740s (Reps. Kotowski, Welch)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2018-2090e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 25, 2018, making it Chapter 308 of the session laws.
