The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 25, 2003 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on April 10, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 29, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 29, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 29, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2035) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 24, 2003, making it Chapter 182 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2004.
