The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 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 0729). On April 12, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote 23–1 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0. On May 17, 2001 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 11, 2001, making it Chapter 50 of the session laws. It took effect on June 11, 2001.
