The Story

It was introduced on February 22, 2001 and referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1122). On May 9, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. On May 9, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Barnes Suspension of Rules for Report not Advertised in Calendar nec. 2/3” on a voice vote. On May 9, 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 22, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 13–5. On June 7, 2001 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 190–160. 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 29, 2001, making it Chapter 156 of the session laws. It took effect on August 28, 2001.
