The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2023 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0653s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0653s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 9, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 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 12, 2023. The committee met in executive session on April 19, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on October 24, 2023. The committee met in executive session on November 13, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-2440h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-2440h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On January 3, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 30, 2024 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Regina Birdsell. 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 26, 2024, making it Chapter 275 of the session laws. It took effect on July 26, 2024.
