The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2000 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3627). On March 9, 2000 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On March 16, 2000 the Senate adopted “Remove from Table” on a voice vote. On March 16, 2000 the Senate adopted “OT3rdg” on a roll call 15–9 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2000. The committee held a work session on April 12, 2000. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–7.
