The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2024, with 15 people signed in online: 13 in support, 1 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on March 6, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0963h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0963h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1992s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1992s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 22, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 22, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 30, 2024 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2024-1992s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Wayne MacDonald. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 19, 2024, making it Chapter 215 of the session laws.
