The Story
It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Banks committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 18, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0362). The committee's amendment (0362) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 6, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2003 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2003. The committee held work sessions on April 15, 2003 and May 6, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 29, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Flanders Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. 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 (2041) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 30, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 7, 2003, making it Chapter 238 of the session laws.
