The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0631). The committee's amendment (0631) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 11, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 11, 2004 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 2004. The committee held a work session on April 7, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 11–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 22, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 6, 2004 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Flanders.
