SMITH,MICHAEL-NOLAND-CURRY,JULIE-HOLBROOK-BLACK. (HAWKINSON-RADOGNO-SEVERNS) New Act Creates the Dies and Molds Ownership Transfer Act of 1997. Provides that if a customer does not take possession of its die, mold, form, jig, or pattern within 3 years of the fabricator's last use of it, the fabricator may have all rights, title, and interest transferred to him or her for purposes of destruction of the materials by sending written notice by registered mail that the fabricator intends to terminate the customer's rights in the materials. If a customer does not act within 90 days of the date notice is sent, all rights in the materials are transferred to the fabricator for purposes of destruction of the materials. This Act does not grant the customer any rights to a die, mold, form, jig, or pattern; does not affect any written agreement between a fabricator and a customer; does not affect the rights of a customer under federal patent or copyright law or State or federal laws pertaining to unfair competition; and does not affect the rights granted under the Plastics Dies and Molds Ownership Transfer Act. Effective immediately. STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE HB 513 fails to create a State mandate. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Provides that in addition to a die, mold, form, jig, and pattern, this Act also applies to a tooling. JUDICIAL NOTE HB513 would neither decrease nor increase the need for the number of judges in the State. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Provides that the customer must respond to the fabricator's notice in writing, by registered mail, return receipt requested, reasserting the customer's rights, title, and interest to the die, mold, form, jig, tooling, or pattern in order to avoid the transfer of rights in that item to the fabricator for the purposes of destruction by the fabricator. 97-02-04 H FIRST READING 97-02-04 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 97-02-06 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE JUD-CIVIL LAW 97-02-27 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR NOLAND 97-03-05 H DO PASS/SHORT DEBATE 009-001-001 HJUA 97-03-05 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-05 H FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED CROSS 97-03-05 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-05 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR CURRY,JULIE 97-03-06 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-SMITH,MICHAEL 97-03-06 H AMENDMENT REFERRED TO HRUL 97-03-06 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-08 H FISCAL NOTE REQUEST-WITHDRAWN BLACK 97-04-08 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-09 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-09 H HELD ON CAL ORDER 2ND RDG - SHORT DEBATE 97-04-09 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR HOLBROOK 97-04-09 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-SMITH,MICHAEL 97-04-09 H BE ADOPTED HRUL/003-002-000 97-04-09 H HELD ON CAL ORDER 2ND RDG - SHORT DEBATE 97-04-10 H STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE FILED 97-04-10 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-SMITH,MICHAEL 97-04-10 H ADOPTED 97-04-10 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-11 H JUDICIAL NOTE FILED 97-04-11 H CALENDAR ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-16 H THIRD READING/SHORT DEBATE/PASSED 116-000-000 97-04-16 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR BLACK 97-04-17 S ARRIVE IN SENATE 97-04-17 S CHIEF SPONSOR HAWKINSON 97-04-17 S ADDED AS A CHIEF CO-SPONSOR RADOGNO 97-04-17 S PLACED CALENDAR ORDER OF FIRST READING 97-04-17 S FIRST READING 97-04-17 S REFERRED TO SENATE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 97-04-23 S ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE 97-05-01 S POSTPONED 97-05-08 S AMENDMENT NO. 01-EXECUTIVE S 97-05-08 S ADOPTED 97-05-08 S DO PASS AS AMENDED 013-000-000 SEXC 97-05-08 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 2ND READING 97-05-09 97-05-08 S ADDED AS A CHIEF CO-SPONSOR SEVERNS 97-05-09 S SECOND READING 97-05-09 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 3RD READING 97-05-12 97-05-13 S THIRD READING - PASSED 058-000-000 97-05-13 H ARRIVE IN HOUSE 97-05-13 H PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF CONCURRENCE 01 97-05-16 H MOTION FILED CONCUR 01/SMITH,MICHAEL 97-05-16 H REFERRED TO RULES COMMITTEE/RULE 75(A) 01 97-05-16 H PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF CONCURRENCE 01 97-05-17 H BE APPROVED FOR CONSIDERATION 01/HRUL 97-05-17 H PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF CONCURRENCE 01 97-05-19 H HSE CONCURS IN SEN AMENDMENTS (NO.) 01/115-000-000 97-05-19 H PASSED BOTH HOUSES 97-06-17 H SENT TO THE GOVERNOR 97-08-14 H GOVERNOR APPROVED 97-08-14 H EFFECTIVE DATE 97-08-14 97-08-14 H PUBLIC ACT.............................. 90-0371 END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
