The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 1999 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 1999. The committee held a work session on February 17, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 18, 1999 the bill was referred to the Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held work sessions on August 11, 1999, August 25, 1999, September 8, 1999 and September 22, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 5, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on January 13, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Banks committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 4171). 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 17, 2000 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Fraser Accede to House request for C of C” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 24, 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. The governor signed it on June 21, 2000, making it Chapter 280 of the session laws. It took effect on August 20, 2000.
