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 10–5 to recommend that the House pass it with changes. On March 30, 2005 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Action Deadline” on a voice vote. On April 6, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 7, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Banks and Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 3, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1571). On June 2, 2005 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 06/09/05”. The committee's amendment (1571) was adopted on a voice vote on June 9, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 15, 2005 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2053) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 14, 2005, making it Chapter 241 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2006.
