The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0136). On February 15, 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 Children and Family Law committee. The committee held public hearings on April 24, 2001 and May 9, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 24, 2001 the House voted to pass it. 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 (1432) 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 21, 2001, making it Chapter 97 of the session laws. It took effect on June 21, 2001.
