The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2001. The committee held work sessions on February 13, 2001, February 21, 2001 and March 14, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 29, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 5, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 25, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 12, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. 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 11, 2001, making it Chapter 216 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2002.
