The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2000. The committee held a work session on February 9, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 22–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 24, 2000 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held public hearings on March 31, 2000 and April 14, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 4529). On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Committee Report Ought to Pass with Amendment” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (4526), offered by Sen. D'Allesandro, was adopted on a voice vote on May 18, 2000, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (4592), offered by Sen. Below, was adopted on a voice vote on May 18, 2000, changing the text of the bill. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (4628), offered by Sen. McCarley, 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 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. F. King Accede to House Request for C of C” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 25, 2000 and May 26, 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 a voice vote. On May 31, 2000 the Senate adopted “Conf. Comm. Report” on a voice vote. 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 (4793) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 21, 2000, making it Chapter 296 of the session laws. It took effect on June 21, 2000.
