The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2377). On January 31, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 20, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 21, 2002 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 13, 2002. The committee held a work session on March 19, 2002. 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.

The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 17, 2002 the House voted to pass it.
