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 31, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. It crossed to the House on March 29, 2001 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2001. The committee held a work session on May 22, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 12–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 7, 2001 the House voted to pass it. 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 21, 2001, making it Chapter 96 of the session laws. It took effect on August 20, 2001.
