The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0179). The committee's amendment (0179) was adopted on a voice vote on January 29, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On January 29, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On January 29, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on January 29, 2004 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2004. The committee held a work session on April 5, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
