The Story

It was introduced on January 27, 2005 and referred to the Senate Banks and Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0472). The committee's amendment (0472) was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2005, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0503), offered by Sen. Flanders, was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On March 10, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 10, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 11, 2005 the House voted to pass it.
