The Story

It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2001. The committee held work sessions on March 27, 2001 and March 29, 2001. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2001. The committee held a work session on April 11, 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 April 18, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on May 1, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 16, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On June 12, 2001 the Senate rejected a motion to send it back to committee on a voice vote. On June 12, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. D'Allesandro Sub Motion of Ought to Pass” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1609), offered by Sen. Prescott, was adopted on a voice vote on June 12, 2001, changing the text of the bill. On June 12, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Prescott 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 voice vote. On June 26, 2001 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 26, 2001 the House adopted “Conf Comm”. 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 13, 2001, making it Chapter 239 of the session laws. It took effect on September 11, 2001.
