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 1, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0176). The committee's amendment (0176) was adopted on a voice vote on February 10, 2005, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0190), offered by Sen. Gottesman, was adopted on a voice vote on February 10, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On February 10, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 10, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 15, 2005 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 2005. The committee held work sessions on April 19, 2005, April 26, 2005 and May 4, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 1, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Senator Flanders Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 15, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2115) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. 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 14, 2005, making it Chapter 248 of the session laws. It took effect on September 12, 2005.
