The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2005. The committee held a work session on March 23, 2005. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on October 6, 2005, October 20, 2005, October 26, 2005, November 1, 2005 and November 15, 2005. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, by a vote of 15–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 4, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 286–87. It crossed to the Senate on January 4, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Banks and Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 23, 2006 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
