The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On March 21, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 28, 2024 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2024, with 5 people signed in online: 4 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. On May 23, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote.
