The Story

It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2001. The committee held a work session on February 14, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 19–0. On March 8, 2001 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a work session on March 21, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 18, 2001 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on May 1, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 23, 2001. On May 31, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Eaton Suspension of Rules for Report not in Calendar” on a voice vote. On May 31, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1401), offered by Sen.
