The Story

It was introduced on February 15, 2001 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0931). On April 19, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 1, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 9, 2001. The committee held a work session on May 15, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 24, 2001 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1431) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 21, 2001, making it Chapter 100 of the session laws. It took effect on June 21, 2001.
