The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0784s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0784s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 13, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2025-1317s), offered by Sen. Kevin Avard, was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 2025 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass with an amendment on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending. On March 27, 2025 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. James Gray. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 on October 31, 2025, having been set aside and never taken back up.
