The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. On February 3, 2000 the Senate adopted “Senator Wheeler Vacated from Insuranse to Banks” on a voice vote. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2000. The committee held public hearings on February 16, 2000 and February 23, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3749). On March 16, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2000. The committee held a work session on April 27, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 11–7. On May 18, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 18, 2000 the House adopted “Susp Rules for 3rd reading” on a voice vote. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Requests C of C” on a voice vote.

The governor signed it on June 21, 2000, making it Chapter 313 of the session laws. It took effect on August 20, 2000.
