The Story

It was introduced on February 15, 2001 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2001. The committee held a work session on April 4, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 18–0, 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 Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 17, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 11, 2001, making it Chapter 48 of the session laws. It took effect on August 10, 2001.
