The Story

It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 9, 2001. The committee held a work session on March 20, 2001. On March 22, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadline” on a voice vote. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0. On March 29, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 5, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Wildlife and Recreation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1494). On June 7, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 12, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Disnard 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 Report” on a voice vote. 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 242 of the session laws. It took effect on September 11, 2001.
