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 12 people signed in online: 9 in support, 2 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on March 6, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0881h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0881h) 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.
