The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2018. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0664s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0664s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 8, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 8, 2018 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 Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2018. The committee held a work session on April 4, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 11, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–3 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 26, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 3, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 30, 2018, making it Chapter 146 of the session laws. It took effect on May 30, 2018.
