The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held public hearings on March 18, 2003 and March 25, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0994). The committee's amendment (0994) was adopted on a voice vote on April 3, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2003. The committee held work sessions on April 29, 2003 and May 7, 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 May 15, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 29, 2003 the Senate adopted “Requests Committee” on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 10, 2003 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 24, 2003 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. On June 24, 2003 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee 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. The governor signed it on July 15, 2003, making it Chapter 269 of the session laws. It took effect on September 13, 2003.
