The Story

It was introduced on February 11, 1999 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 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 pass it with changes (amendment 2043). On January 13, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 3, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it 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 8, 2000. The committee held work sessions on April 4, 2000 and April 5, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 11–2. On April 20, 2000 the House adopted “Recommitted to Exec Depts & Admin” on a voice vote. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House study it after the session ends. The committee's amendment (4300) was rejected on a voice vote on May 18, 2000. A floor amendment (4527), offered by Rep Goulet, was adopted on a voice vote on May 18, 2000, changing the text of the bill. On May 18, 2000 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on June 14, 2000. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “NOT REC FOR LEGIS IN 2001”, by a vote of 12 to 0.
