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 January 3, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 8, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 22, 2024 and was referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 11, 2024. The committee met in executive session on March 26, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1294h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1294h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 11, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On April 11, 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.
