The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 17, 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 24, 2000 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2000. The committee held work sessions on April 25, 2000, May 2, 2000 and May 9, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1. On May 18, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 18, 2000 the House adopted “Susp Rules for 3rd reading” on a voice vote. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Below Concur With House Amendment” on a voice vote.
