The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2001 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held public hearings on March 14, 2001 and March 21, 2001. The committee held a work session on March 27, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0. 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 1271). 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 reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On June 7, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Johnson Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 19, 2001 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 26, 2001 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 26, 2001 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1872) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 13, 2001, making it Chapter 255 of the session laws. It took effect on July 13, 2001.
