The Story
It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 3, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes. On January 24, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on January 31, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 6, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3558). On April 18, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 2, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 8, 2002, making it Chapter 122 of the session laws.
