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 February 8, 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 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 Internal Affairs committee. The committee held public hearings on March 30, 2000 and April 13, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 18, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 18, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 30, 2000, making it Chapter 203 of the session laws. It took effect on July 29, 2000.
