The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3234). On February 3, 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 February 10, 2000 and was referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends by a vote of 14–3. On April 20, 2000 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “NOT REC FOR LEGIS IN 2001”, by a vote of 16 to 0.
