The Story

It was introduced on January 10, 2002 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2002. The committee held a work session on February 13, 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 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 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 18, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (3639), offered by Sen. Eaton, was adopted on a voice vote on April 18, 2002, changing the text of the bill. On April 25, 2002 the House adopted “House Noncon with Sen Am req Conf Comm” on a voice vote. 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 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. 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 17, 2002, making it Chapter 240 of the session laws. It took effect on July 16, 2002.
