The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2001 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 14, 2001. The committee held work sessions on March 27, 2001 and April 4, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0. 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 voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on May 9, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 16, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1272). 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.
