The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 19, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 19, 2001 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held public hearings on May 1, 2001 and May 15, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 24, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 24, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Below Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1412) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. 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 19, 2001, making it Chapter 86 of the session laws. It took effect on June 19, 2001.
