The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 15, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3865). On March 23, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 23, 2000 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 2000. The committee held work sessions on April 26, 2000 and May 3, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 17, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Squires 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (4761) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 21, 2000, making it Chapter 314 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2001.
