The Story

It was introduced on February 16, 1999 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 13, 1999 the bill was referred to the Legislative Administration committee. The committee held work sessions on October 6, 1999 and October 20, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0. On January 5, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on January 13, 2000 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 9, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on March 17, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on March 29, 2000, making it Chapter 22 of the session laws. It took effect on March 29, 2000.
