The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2001 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 5, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 12, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1474). On June 7, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 12, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Roberge Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. On June 13, 2001 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 19, 2001 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 26, 2001 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 26, 2001 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1880) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 13, 2001, making it Chapter 231 of the session laws. It took effect on July 13, 2001.
