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 January 23, 2018. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0976s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 8, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the next session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0976s). The committee's amendment (2018-0976s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 14, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 14, 2018 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, the Clerk is authorized to make technical and adminsitrative corrections which are necessary to reflect the intent of the Senate”. It crossed to the House on March 15, 2018 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2018. The committee held work sessions on April 17, 2018 and April 24, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 24, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1718h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-1718h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 10, 2018 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. 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 263 of the session laws. It took effect on June 12, 2018.
