The Story

It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2002. The committee held a work session on January 29, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 14, 2002 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on February 20, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 21, 2002 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On April 16, 2002 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. On April 16, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote 16–7 and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 25, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 3, 2002, making it Chapter 115 of the session laws. It took effect on July 2, 2002.
