The Story

It was introduced on February 17, 2000 and referred to the Senate Banks committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3759). 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 26, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 10–3. On May 4, 2000 the House voted to pass it 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 172 of the session laws. It took effect on May 23, 2000.
