The Story
It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 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 April 5, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on May 1, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 22, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1280). On May 24, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 31, 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 26, 2001, making it Chapter 117 of the session laws. It took effect on August 25, 2001.
