The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 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 Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2000. The committee held a work session on March 29, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 20, 2000 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on April 27, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 8, 2000, making it Chapter 128 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2001.
