The Story

It was introduced on February 16, 1999 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 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 25, 1999 the bill was referred to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held work sessions on August 25, 1999 and September 8, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0. On February 10, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 17, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held public hearings on March 29, 2000 and April 26, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 4392). On May 11, 2000 the Senate adopted “Committee Report Ought to Pass with Amendment” 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. Pignatelli Accede to House Request fo 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (4791) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 21, 2000, making it Chapter 287 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2002.
