The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2001. The committee held a work session on February 6, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 22, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 29, 2001 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On June 7, 2001 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2117). On January 17, 2002 the Senate voted to lay it on the table.
