The Story
It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 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 31, 2002 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on February 20, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2002.
