The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 9, 2000 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On March 16, 2000 the Senate adopted “Remove from Table” on a voice vote. On March 16, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. On March 16, 2000 the Senate adopted “OT3rdg” on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2000. The committee held work sessions on April 4, 2000, April 12, 2000 and April 19, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 11–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 4, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Pignatelli 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 258 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2001.
