The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2001. The committee held a work session on January 24, 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 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 24, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 7, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 19, 2001, making it Chapter 70 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2002.
