The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 16, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it 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 4, 2000. The committee held a work session on April 12, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 20, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. On April 27, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Wheeler concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 23, 2000, making it Chapter 166 of the session laws. It took effect on July 22, 2000.
