The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 8, 2001 the House voted to pass it. 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 18, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 7, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
