The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 15, 2001 the Senate adopted “Roll Call 23Y - 0-N” on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 29, 2001 and was referred to the House Election Law 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 16–1. On June 7, 2001 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. 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 28, 2001, making it Chapter 122 of the session laws. It took effect on June 28, 2001.
