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. On January 31, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0316s). The committee's amendment (2019-0316s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 14, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 28, 2019 and was referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 11, 2019. The committee held work sessions on March 22, 2019 and April 23, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 24, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1643h). The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1647h) by a vote of 13–9, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1647h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 8, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 207–130. On May 15, 2019 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sherman. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on June 7, 2019. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers.
