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 January 25, 2024, with 148 people signed in online: 76 in support and 72 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0810h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0810h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 189–173. On March 7, 2024 the House failed “Reconsider HB1213” on a division vote 172–193, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 2, 2024 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
