The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, 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 2, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3471). On April 16, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes 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 216 of the session laws. It took effect on July 15, 2002.
