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, 21–0. On March 8, 2001 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 5, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held public hearings on May 31, 2001 and June 5, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1441). On June 7, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 13–11. On June 7, 2001 the Senate took up 10 floor amendments. It adopted 1510 (Sen. Larsen, 24–0), and rejected 1518 (Sen. Below, 11–13), 1517 (Sen. Below, 11–13), 1515 (Sen. McCarley, 11–13), 1511 (Sen. D'Allesandro, 11–13), 1513 (Sen. Wheeler, 11–13), 1514 (Sen. McCarley, 11–13), 1516 (Sen. Cohen, 11–13), 1512 (Sen. Hollingworth, 11–13) and 1509 (Sen. Larsen, 10–13). On June 7, 2001 the Senate adopted “OT3rdg” on a roll call 13–10 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 7, 2001 the Senate adopted “Suspension of Rules Third Reading and Final Passage 2/3nec”, on a motion by Sen. Francoeur. On June 12, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Barnes Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. On June 13, 2001 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a roll call 186–166. A committee of conference met on June 15, 2001, June 18, 2001, June 19, 2001 and June 20, 2001 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
