The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 15, 2000. The committee held work sessions on February 22, 2000 and March 15, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 22–1, 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 9, 2000. The committee recommended that the House pass it. On May 11, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it 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. The governor signed it on May 26, 2000, making it Chapter 174 of the session laws.
