The Story

It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2001. The committee held a work session on April 3, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 18, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on May 9, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 23, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1380). On May 31, 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 House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 26, 2001, making it Chapter 120 of the session laws. It took effect on August 25, 2001.
