The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the Senate Banks and Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On January 27, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On January 27, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 9, 2005 and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2005. The committee held a work session on April 19, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 25, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Senator Flanders Non Concur with House Am{1060} Requests C of C” on a voice vote. On June 15, 2005 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 20, 2005 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 29, 2005 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a roll call 249–96. On June 29, 2005 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 22, 2005, making it Chapter 278 of the session laws. It took effect on September 20, 2005.
