The Story
It was introduced on February 1, 2001 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0930). On May 1, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1077). On May 9, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 22, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 12–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 31, 2001 the House voted to kill it.
