The Story

It was introduced on February 22, 2001 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 9, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote 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 May 15, 2001. The committee held a work session on May 22, 2001. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 25, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on January 2, 2002. On January 2, 2002 the House adopted “Recommitted to Exec Depts & Admin” on a voice vote. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. On January 24, 2002 the House voted to kill it.
