The Story

It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 2002. The committee held a work session on January 29, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 12–2, 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 10, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 17, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 26, 2002, making it Chapter 62 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2003.
