The Story

It was introduced on April 6, 2000 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 2000. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2000 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 20, 2000 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held public hearings on May 2, 2000 and May 9, 2000. The committee met in executive session on May 9, 2000 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 17, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 18, 2000 the Senate adopted “Requests 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 (4773) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 6, 2000, making it Chapter 238 of the session laws. It took effect on June 6, 2000.
