The Story

It was introduced on February 15, 2001 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2001. The committee held work sessions on March 21, 2001, March 28, 2001 and April 4, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–1. 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 adopted “Susp Rules for Deadline to May 3” on a voice vote. On May 3, 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. On June 5, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Francoeur Special Order to”. On June 7, 2001 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On June 12, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Prescott Motion to Remove From Table” on a voice vote. On June 12, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1672), offered by Sen. Prescott, was adopted on a voice vote on June 12, 2001, changing the text of the bill. On June 12, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Johnson Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. On June 13, 2001 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. 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. The governor signed it on July 17, 2001, making it Chapter 293 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2001.
