The Story

It was introduced on February 1, 2001 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 29, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 12, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote 23–1 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2001. The committee held a work session on May 2, 2001. On May 3, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadlines on SBs due Early” on a voice vote. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 24, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 29, 2001.
