The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held public hearings on January 25, 2000 and January 27, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 17, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 17, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 30, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 6, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 17, 2000, making it Chapter 58 of the session laws. It took effect on April 17, 2000.
