The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2001. The committee held work sessions on February 6, 2001 and February 21, 2001. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 11, 2001 and October 25, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes. On January 10, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2002. The committee held work sessions on January 23, 2002, January 30, 2002, February 6, 2002, February 12, 2002 and February 19, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 17–2. On March 6, 2002 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3404). On April 11, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 11, 2002 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3484). On April 16, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. A floor amendment (3513), offered by Sen. Fernald, was adopted on a voice vote on April 16, 2002, changing the text of the bill. 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 (3753) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on May 15, 2002, making it Chapter 170 of the session laws. It took effect on July 14, 2002.
