The Story

It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 3, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 24, 2002 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on January 31, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 14, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2942), offered by Sen. O'Hearn, was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2002, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2002 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on March 21, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (3152) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on April 4, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 19, 2002, making it Chapter 37 of the session laws. It took effect on April 19, 2002.
