The Story
It was introduced on February 8, 2001 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held public hearings on March 14, 2001 and March 27, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 18–1, 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 9, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 30, 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 11, 2001, making it Chapter 227 of the session laws. It took effect on September 9, 2001.
