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 22, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3581). It crossed to the House on March 9, 2000 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2000. The committee held a work session on 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. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 17, 2000. On May 17, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. 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. The governor signed it on June 12, 2000, making it Chapter 268 of the session laws. It took effect on August 11, 2000.
