The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 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 Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2000. The committee held work sessions on April 5, 2000, April 11, 2000, April 12, 2000 and April 18, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 4, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 4, 2000 the House voted to pass it. On May 11, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. F. King Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 18, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (4511) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on May 23, 2000, making it Chapter 164 of the session laws. It took effect on May 23, 2000.
