The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2000. The committee held a work session on February 14, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 24, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 6, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 4183). On April 20, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 4, 2000 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 23, 2000, making it Chapter 153 of the session laws. It took effect on May 23, 2000.
