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 9, 2000. The committee held a work session on March 15, 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 March 29, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 6, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 2000. On May 4, 2000 the House voted to pass it. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 11, 2000 the Senate adopted “Ought Pass” 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (4534) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on May 30, 2000, making it Chapter 204 of the session laws. It took effect on July 29, 2000.
