The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0226). On February 22, 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 on March 29, 2001 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 17, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 7, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Prescott Concur with House Amendment” 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 123 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2001.
