The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0291s). The committee's amendment (2023-0291s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 9, 2023, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2023-0432s), offered by Sen. Cindy Rosenwald, was adopted on a voice vote on February 9, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On February 9, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 16, 2023 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2023.
