The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 1999 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 4, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 17, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 25, 1999 and was referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on June 8, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee by a vote of 16–3. On June 22, 1999 the House adopted “Moved to June 23 session without objection”. On June 23, 1999 the House adopted “Re-Referred to Finance committee” on a division vote 205–30. The committee held work sessions on September 9, 1999 and October 5, 1999. The committee met in executive session on October 14, 1999 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 24–0. On January 13, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on February 10, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on February 16, 2000, making it Chapter 11 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2000.
