The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0160). The committee's amendment (0160) 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2004. The committee held work sessions on March 25, 2004 and April 14, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 5, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 6, 2004 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes, on a motion by Sen. Flanders. On May 13, 2004 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 14, 2004 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 25, 2004 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. On May 25, 2004 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 25, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 11, 2004, making it Chapter 223 of the session laws. It took effect on June 11, 2004.
