The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 1999 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 1999. The committee held a work session on February 4, 1999. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 1999. The committee held work sessions on February 11, 1999 and March 11, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2) unanimously, 19–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 14, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 20, 1999 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 3, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 8, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 24, 1999 the Senate adopted “Senate Moved to Accede to COC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Wheeler. A committee of conference met on June 30, 1999 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On July 1, 1999 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. On July 1, 1999 the Senate adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Wheeler. The bill was enrolled on July 1, 1999 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 16, 1999, making it Chapter 279 of the session laws. It took effect on September 4, 1999.
