The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2001 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 8, 2001 the House voted to pass it, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 22–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 18, 2001 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on May 1, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 9, 2001.
