The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2000. 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 Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 4, 2000 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 23, 2000, making it Chapter 159 of the session laws. It took effect on May 23, 2000.
