The Story
It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 8, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 29, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 19, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 9, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 15, 2001, making it Chapter 28 of the session laws. It took effect on July 14, 2001.
