The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2003. The committee held a work session on March 3, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0. The committee held a work session on March 19, 2003. On March 25, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 24, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 13, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1642). The committee's amendment (1642) was adopted on a voice vote on May 22, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On May 22, 2003 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 June 5, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Clegg Rules Suspension for 3rd Reading and Final Passage” on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on July 1, 2003, as Chapter 221. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
