The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2000. The committee held work sessions on January 25, 2000, February 2, 2000, February 8, 2000 and March 15, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–3, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 29, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 6, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 11, 2000 the Senate adopted “Committee Report Ought to Pass” on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 18, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 26, 2000, making it Chapter 182 of the session laws. It took effect on July 25, 2000.
