The Story

It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2002. The committee held work sessions on February 6, 2002 and February 12, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 21, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 6, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3170). On April 10, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 17, 2002 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 2, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 15, 2002, making it Chapter 192 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2003.
