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 8, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 13–0. On January 24, 2002 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on January 31, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 13, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3342). On April 11, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. A floor amendment (3410), offered by Sen. Johnson, was adopted on a voice vote on April 11, 2002, changing the text of the bill. On April 17, 2002 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 25, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 3, 2002, making it Chapter 91 of the session laws.
