The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held public hearings on January 25, 2000 and January 27, 2000. The committee held work sessions on February 2, 2000, February 9, 2000 and February 15, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–1. On February 24, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 2000. The committee held a work session on March 13, 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 March 23, 2000 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 25, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 4455). On May 18, 2000 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Russman Accede to House request for C of C” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 25, 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” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 21, 2000, making it Chapter 299 of the session laws. It took effect on June 21, 2000.
