The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 5, 2001 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On May 9, 2001 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On January 24, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes 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 Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2002. The committee held work sessions on March 13, 2002, March 19, 2002 and March 26, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0. On April 4, 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 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 125 of the session laws. It took effect on July 7, 2002.
