The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On January 31, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on January 31, 2002 and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2002. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–7. On April 17, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen. Burns Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 25, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (3672) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. 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 15, 2002, making it Chapter 199 of the session laws. It took effect on May 15, 2002.
