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 February 17, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0468). The committee's amendment (0468) 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 Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2005. The committee held work sessions on April 19, 2005 and May 4, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, 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 2, 2005 the Senate adopted “Sen. Flanders Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 8, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. On June 21, 2005 the House voted to pass it. 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 (1913) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 11, 2005, making it Chapter 237 of the session laws. It took effect on July 11, 2005.
