The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2002 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2002. On February 21, 2002 the House adopted “Susp Rules for deadlines” on a voice vote. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–1, 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 Transportation 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.
