The Story

It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 8, 2002. The committee held work sessions on January 29, 2002, February 7, 2002 and February 12, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0, 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 Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3373). On April 11, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. 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. On April 25, 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 16, 2002, making it Chapter 215 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2002.
