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 6, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0772s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0772s) 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. On March 27, 2025 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass 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.
