The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 4, 2003. The committee held work sessions on March 14, 2003 and March 17, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 25, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 10, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Banks committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1736), offered by Sen. Flanders, 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 and ordered it to a third reading. On May 22, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 29, 2003 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Flanders Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 12, 2003 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 24, 2003 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 24, 2003 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 30, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2297) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 21, 2003, making it Chapter 313 of the session laws. It took effect on August 20, 2003.
