The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2001 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 2001. The committee held a work session on March 28, 2001. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2002 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on January 2, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2861). On March 14, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on March 21, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (3041) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on March 29, 2002, making it Chapter 15 of the session laws. It took effect on March 29, 2002.
