The Story

It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2001. The committee held work sessions on March 8, 2001, March 26, 2001, March 27, 2001, March 29, 2001, March 30, 2001, April 5, 2001, April 10, 2001 and April 11, 2001. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–3. On April 19, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadline to Apr 26” on a voice vote. On April 19, 2001 the House adopted “Special Order to Apr 25” on a voice vote. On April 25, 2001 the House adopted “Special Order to Apr 26 without objection”. On April 26, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadline to May 3” on a voice vote. On May 3, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 300–52. It crossed to the Senate on May 9, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 22, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1346). On May 31, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 7, 2001 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 27, 2001, making it Chapter 121 of the session laws. It took effect on June 27, 2001.
