The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2001 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2001. The committee held work sessions on January 24, 2001 and February 7, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 22, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 29, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 31, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 7, 2001 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 26, 2001, making it Chapter 104 of the session laws. It took effect on June 26, 2001.
