The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2001. The committee held a work session on March 27, 2001. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 15, 2001, October 17, 2001 and October 25, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 16–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2002 the House voted to kill it.
