The Story

The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 1999. The committee held a work session on March 10, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 12–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 25, 1999 the House voted to pass it with changes. It was introduced on April 14, 1999 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 28, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 6, 1999 the Senate adopted “Recomit” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Roberge. The committee held a public hearing on May 19, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 27, 1999 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2269). On January 13, 2000 the Senate adopted “Ordered to 3rd Reading” on a voice vote. On February 3, 2000 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on February 10, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on February 16, 2000, making it Chapter 8 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2001.
