The Story

It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2001. The committee held work sessions on March 19, 2001 and April 2, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 11–3. On April 19, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on May 1, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 16, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1196). On May 24, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 7, 2001 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1532), offered by Sen. Francoeur, was adopted on a voice vote on June 7, 2001, changing the text of the bill. On June 12, 2001 the Senate adopted “Refused to Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Burns. On June 13, 2001 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote.
