The Story

It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2001. The committee held work sessions on March 21, 2001, March 28, 2001, April 3, 2001 and April 11, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–2, 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 23, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 12, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. 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 5, 2001, making it Chapter 181 of the session laws. It took effect on September 3, 2001.
