The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the Senate Banks and Insurance committee. The committee held public hearings on January 17, 2006 and March 7, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1371). The committee's amendment (1371) was rejected on a voice vote on March 22, 2006. A floor amendment (1505), offered by Sen. Hassen, was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On March 22, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 22, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it.

The committee held a work session on April 18, 2006. The committee voted 12–2 to recommend that the House study it after the session ends.
