The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2005. The committee held work sessions on February 23, 2005 and March 22, 2005. The committee voted 15–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 30, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Banks and Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1429), offered by Sen. Flanders, was adopted on a voice vote on May 19, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On May 19, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 20, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 25, 2005 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 2, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 15, 2005, making it Chapter 109 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2006.
