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 unanimously, 14–0, 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, then referred it on to the House Ways and Means committee. On March 7, 2002 the House adopted “Susp Rules for deadline to 2nd Comm” on a voice vote. The committee held a public hearing on March 13, 2002. The committee met in executive session on March 14, 2002 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 15–1. On March 21, 2002 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3374). 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (3768) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on May 18, 2002, making it Chapter 280 of the session laws. It took effect on July 17, 2002.
