The Story
It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0422). The committee's amendment (0422) 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 Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 15, 2003. On May 15, 2003 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 218–99. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1789) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage.
