The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0088s). The committee's amendment (2019-0088s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 31, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On January 31, 2019 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, Sen. D'Allesandro Moved the Question”. A floor amendment (2019-0213s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was rejected on a roll call 10–14 on January 31, 2019. On January 31, 2019 the Senate failed “Rerefer, RC 10Y-14N”, on a motion by Sen. Giuda. On January 31, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0572s). The committee's amendment (2019-0572s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 21, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 21, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 7, 2019 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 26, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on April 2, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 9, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 2, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 8, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 21, 2019, making it Chapter 41 of the session laws.
