The Story

It was introduced on January 28, 1999 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 2, 1999. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 17, 1999 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 25, 1999 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 4, 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 11, 1999, August 25, 1999, September 8, 1999, September 22, 1999 and October 6, 1999. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 5, 2000 the House voted to pass it with changes. On January 13, 2000 the Senate adopted “Requests Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. On February 3, 2000 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration whereby we non concurred W/House Am (2036)” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Trombly. On February 3, 2000 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on February 10, 2000 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on February 16, 2000, making it Chapter 9 of the session laws. It took effect on April 16, 2000.
