The Story

It was introduced on February 5, 1991 and referred to the House Commerce, Small Business and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 26, 1991. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 11–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 19, 1991 the House adopted “Suspend Rules to consider on 03/19/1991”, on a motion by Rep. Gross & Chambers. On March 19, 1991 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 1991 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The Senate withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Insurance committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 1991. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 16, 1991 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 21, 1991 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 28, 1991 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 10, 1991, making it Chapter 246 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 1992. The bill was enrolled on June 11, 1991 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
