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 8, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0470). The committee's amendment (0470) 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 21, 2005, May 4, 2005 and May 10, 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 9, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 21, 2005, making it Chapter 161 of the session laws. It took effect on August 20, 2005.
