The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2026. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2026-0544s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2026-0544s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 19, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On February 19, 2026 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, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On March 12, 2026 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending. On March 12, 2026 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Regina Birdsell.
