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 18, 2024, with 10 people signed in online: 9 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 14, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. 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 18, 2024. On May 15, 2024 the Senate adopted “Special Order to next week, Without Objection”. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On May 22, 2024 the Senate rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Daryl Abbas. On May 22, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on July 12, 2024. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On October 10, 2024 the House voted 270–55 to override the governor's veto on a roll call, meeting the two thirds threshold. On October 10, 2024 the Senate voted 9–14 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
