The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2002 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. On January 31, 2002 the House adopted “Susp Rules on deadlines” on a voice vote. 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 committee held a work session on March 13, 2002. 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. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 21, 2002. The committee's amendment (2950) was rejected on a voice vote on March 21, 2002. A floor amendment (3048) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2002, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration 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. On April 16, 2002 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 10:16 a.m.”, on a motion by Sen. Larsen. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. 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 9, 2002, making it Chapter 137 of the session laws. It took effect on May 9, 2002.
