The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0152). On February 22, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. A floor amendment (0230), offered by Sen. Pignatelli, was adopted on a voice vote on February 22, 2001, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the House on March 29, 2001 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2001. The committee held a work session on May 8, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 7, 2001 the House voted to kill it.
