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 22, 2002. The committee held work sessions on February 12, 2002 and February 19, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 6, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 16, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. 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 98 of the session laws. It took effect on July 2, 2002.
