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 majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1095). On May 9, 2001 the Senate adopted “Special Order To [05/17/01]”. On May 17, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 24, 2001 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. 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 72 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2001.
