The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Judiciary committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 2005. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes, by a vote of 11–8. On March 30, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. 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 May 3, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1584), offered by Sen. Gottesman, was rejected on a voice vote on May 26, 2005. A floor amendment (1581), offered by Sen. Foster, was rejected on a voice vote on May 26, 2005. On May 26, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 26, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on June 8, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 17, 2005, making it Chapter 145 of the session laws. It took effect on June 17, 2005.
