The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0465s). The committee's amendment (2022-0465s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On February 16, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 24, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2022. The committee met in executive session on April 12, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 21, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 12, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 20, 2022, making it Chapter 99 of the session laws. It took effect on May 20, 2022.
