The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3247). 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2000. The committee held a work session on April 4, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 20, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2000. The committee held a work session on April 27, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 22–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 17, 2000 the House voted to pass it. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Wheeler Concur With House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2000, making it Chapter 263 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2000.
