The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 2026, with 21 people signed in online: 3 in support, 17 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2026-0365h), and the minority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 11, 2026 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 176–156. The committee's amendment (2026-0365h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2026, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the Senate on March 12, 2026 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 2026. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2026-1623s). On May 7, 2026 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/14/2026, Without Objection”. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2026-1623s). The committee's amendment (2026-1623s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 14, 2026, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2026-1916s), offered by Sen. David Rochefort, was adopted on a voice vote on May 14, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On May 14, 2026 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 14, 2026 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2026-1916s and 2026-1623s and Requests CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Wayne MacDonald. On May 14, 2026 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 May 27, 2026 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2026-2090c) on a voice vote. On June 4, 2026 the House adopted the conference report (2026-2090c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2026 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2026-2184e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 15, 2026, making it Chapter 333 of the session laws.
