The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0413). On March 29, 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 a public hearing on May 1, 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 31, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 7, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Gordon Non Concur Request Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. On June 7, 2001 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm” on a voice vote. On June 26, 2001 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. On June 26, 2001 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2001 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 16, 2001, making it Chapter 279 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2002.
