The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 1, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2001.
