The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2001 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 2001. The committee held work sessions on March 27, 2001 and March 28, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 30, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 7, 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 5, 2001, making it Chapter 190 of the session laws. It took effect on September 3, 2001.
