The Story

It was introduced on February 15, 2001 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0915). On April 19, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. A floor amendment (0973), offered by Sen. Wheeler, was adopted on a voice vote on April 19, 2001, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the House on April 19, 2001 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 9, 2001. The committee held work sessions on May 15, 2001 and May 22, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 7, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 12, 2001 the Senate adopted “Req. Comm of Conf” on a voice vote. On June 13, 2001 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm”. 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 House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. On June 26, 2001 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. 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 16, 2001, making it Chapter 280 of the session laws. It took effect on July 16, 2001.
