The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 8, 2001 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on April 5, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 19, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 26, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1057) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 9, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 15, 2001, making it Chapter 23 of the session laws. It took effect on May 15, 2001.
