The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 2025, with 1,765 people signed in online: 106 in support and 1,659 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on March 19, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1083h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-1083h) was adopted on a division vote 350–4 on March 27, 2025, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2025-1316h), offered by Rep. Lucy Weber, was rejected on a roll call 168–203 on March 27, 2025. On March 27, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 197–167. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2025 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2025. On June 5, 2025 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, the Clerk is authorized to make technical and administrative corrections which are necessary to reflect the intent of the Senate”. The committee's amendment (2025-2354s) was adopted on a voice vote on June 5, 2025, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2025-2514s), offered by Sen. David Rochefort, was adopted on a voice vote on June 5, 2025, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2025-2621s), offered by Sen. Denise Ricciardi, was adopted on a voice vote on June 5, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On June 5, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On June 5, 2025 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2025-2354s 2025-2514s and 2025-2621s and Requests CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Jim Kofalt. On June 5, 2025 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. David Rochefort. A committee of conference met on June 17, 2025 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 26, 2025 the House adopted the conference report (2025-2809c) on a roll call 202–161. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2025 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. On June 26, 2025 the Senate adopted the conference report (2025-2809c) on a roll call 16–8. The governor signed it on August 1, 2025, making it Chapter 275 of the session laws.
