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 3, 2002. The committee held work sessions on January 16, 2002, February 5, 2002, February 13, 2002 and February 19, 2002. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–5. On March 6, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 11, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it 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. On April 16, 2002 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On April 18, 2002 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. On April 18, 2002 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On April 18, 2002 the Senate again adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. On April 18, 2002 the Senate again voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. A floor amendment (3637), offered by Sen. Barnes, was adopted on a voice vote on April 18, 2002, changing the text of the bill. On April 18, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen. Boyce Moves Remove Fron Table” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (3650), offered by Sen. Boyce, was rejected on a voice vote on April 18, 2002.

On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen. Wheeler Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on April 26, 2002 and April 29, 2002 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 2, 2002 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 2, 2002 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote.
