The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2001 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 17–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on January 25, 2001. On January 25, 2001 the House adopted “Recommitted to Judiciary” on a voice vote. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 17–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 8, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 22, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1498). 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 13, 2001 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 5, 2001, making it Chapter 160 of the session laws. It took effect on July 5, 2001.
