The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2001. The committee held a work session on February 5, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 16–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 15, 2001. On February 15, 2001 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0907). On April 19, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 3, 2001 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 11, 2001, making it Chapter 47 of the session laws. It took effect on August 10, 2001.
