The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 13, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on May 13, 1999 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on June 16, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 29, 1999 the bill was referred to the Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held work sessions on August 10, 1999, September 8, 1999, September 22, 1999 and October 7, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–1. On January 6, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2000. The committee held work sessions on January 27, 2000 and February 2, 2000. The majority of the committee recommended that the House make no recommendation. On February 10, 2000 the House adopted “Susp Rules on Re-Ref deadlines” on a voice vote. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 17–1. On March 30, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 204–118. On April 6, 2000 the Senate adopted “Sen Below Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 13, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 21, 2000, making it Chapter 84 of the session laws. It took effect on April 1, 2001.
