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 25, 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 24, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 2000. The committee held a work session on March 15, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 23–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 23, 2000 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 18, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (4564), offered by Sen. Larsen, was adopted on a voice vote on May 18, 2000, changing the text of the bill. On May 18, 2000 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On May 23, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Squires accede to House Request for C of C” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 24, 2000 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 31, 2000 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. On May 31, 2000 the Senate adopted “Conf. Comm. Report”. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (4766) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 21, 2000, making it Chapter 294 of the session laws. It took effect on August 20, 2000.
