The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3740). On March 16, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2000. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, by a vote of 11–3. On May 18, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 194–149. On May 18, 2000 the House adopted “Susp Rules for 3rd reading” on a voice vote. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Pignatelli Concur With House Amendment” on a roll call 12–11. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2000, making it Chapter 267 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2001.
