The Story

It was introduced on February 17, 2000 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 6, 2000 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On May 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 May 4, 2000 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 9, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 13–1, 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 adopted “Ref to Exec Depts & Admin for Interim Study” on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on September 28, 2000. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “REC FOR LEGIS IN 2001”, by a vote of 9 to 4.
