The Story
It was introduced on January 17, 2002 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 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, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 6, 2002. On March 6, 2002 the House adopted “Spec Order to March 7, without objection”. On March 7, 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On April 18, 2002 the Senate rejected a motion to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. On April 18, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen. Flanders Moves Ought to Pass” on a roll call 24–0. On April 18, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen. Flanders Moves Laid On 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. A floor amendment (3626), offered by Sen. Flanders, was adopted on a voice vote on April 18, 2002, changing the text of the bill. On April 18, 2002 the Senate adopted “OT3rdg” on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 25, 2002 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen. Prescott 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 18, 2002, making it Chapter 276 of the session laws. It took effect on May 18, 2002.
