The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 2, 2021 and October 18, 2021. The committee met in executive session on October 26, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-2214h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 19–1. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-2214h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 6, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On January 6, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 225–127. On January 6, 2022 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a division vote 138–213, on a motion by Rep. Sylvia. On January 6, 2022 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on January 26, 2022. The committee met in executive session on February 11, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on February 11, 2022. The committee's amendment (2022-0904h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. The committee held work sessions on February 24, 2022 and March 1, 2022. The committee met in executive session on March 8, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0904h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 14–5. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 237–100. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1531s). The committee's amendment (2022-1531s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 21, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On April 21, 2022 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. On May 5, 2022 the Senate adopted “Special Order to after the Bills removed from the Consent Calendar, Without Objection”. On May 5, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. On May 5, 2022 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2022-1531s and Requests CofC (Reps. M. Pearson, Edwards, Wallner, Layon)” on a voice vote. On May 12, 2022 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. A committee of conference met on May 16, 2022 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 26, 2022 the Senate adopted the conference report (2022-2015c) on a voice vote. On May 26, 2022 the House adopted the conference report (2022-2015c) on a roll call 246–105. The bill was enrolled on May 26, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 1, 2022, making it Chapter 285 of the session laws.
