The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 2, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On March 23, 1999 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On January 13, 2000 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On February 10, 2000 the Senate adopted “Take From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Larsen. On February 10, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Larson Sub Motion Ought to Pass” on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 10, 2000 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 2000. The committee held work sessions on March 15, 2000 and March 28, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 17–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 20, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2000. The committee held a work session on April 27, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 25–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 17, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Cohen Concur with House Amendment” 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 12, 2000, making it Chapter 252 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2000.
