The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 11–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 24, 2000. On February 24, 2000 the House adopted “Special Order to Mar 9 (4:00p.m. or last of day)” on a voice vote. On March 9, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 16, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 6, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 13, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 21, 2000, making it Chapter 75 of the session laws. It took effect on June 20, 2000.
