The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2000. The committee held a work session on March 8, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 19–0. On March 30, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 6, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 4467). On May 11, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 17, 2000 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 18, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 30, 2000, making it Chapter 198 of the session laws. It took effect on May 30, 2000.
