The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2002 and referred to the House Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2002. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2002 to vote on its recommendation. 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 unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 21, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3352). On April 11, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes 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 voted to pass it 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 15, 2002, making it Chapter 196 of the session laws. It took effect on May 15, 2002.
