The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 1997 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 1997. On April 3, 1997 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 14–10. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 1997. The committee held work sessions on April 29, 1997 and May 1, 1997. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 14, 1997 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 28, 1997 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 29, 1997 the House adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference”. A committee of conference met on June 3, 1997 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 10, 1997 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 10, 1997 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 10, 1997 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 18, 1997, making it Chapter 225 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 1998.
