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 8, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 10, 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 Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2000. The committee held work sessions on April 27, 2000, May 1, 2000 and May 2, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 22–2. On May 18, 2000 the House rejected a motion to pass it on a voice vote. On May 18, 2000 the House adopted “Susp Rules for non-germane Am” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (4588), offered by Reps Chandler & Burling, was adopted on a voice vote on May 18, 2000, changing the text of the bill. On May 18, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen. Squires Non Concur with House Am{4588}, Request C of C” on a voice vote. On May 18, 2000 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm”. On May 31, 2000 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. On May 31, 2000 the Senate adopted “Conf. Comm Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (4783) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 21, 2000, making it Chapter 322 of the session laws. It took effect on June 21, 2000.
