The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2023 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0850s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0850s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2023 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 with changes (amendment 2023-1148s). The committee's amendment (2023-1148s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 30, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 30, 2023 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass with an amendment on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending. On March 30, 2023 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. James Gray. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on October 26, 2023, having been set aside and never taken back up.
