The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2020 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2020. The committee held a work session on February 4, 2020. The committee met in executive session on February 18, 2020 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2020-0509h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2020-0509h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2020 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 12, 2020 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2020-1345s). The committee's amendment (2020-1345s) was adopted on a voice vote on June 16, 2020, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2020-1530s), offered by Sen. Sherman, was adopted on a voice vote on June 16, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On June 16, 2020 the Senate adopted “Reconsider the vote on: Floor Amendment #2020-1530s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. A floor amendment (2020-1530s), offered by Sen.
