The Story

It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 15–3, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 14, 2002 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on February 20, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3562). On April 18, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
