The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2001 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2001. The committee held a work session on March 15, 2001. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on November 8, 2001 and December 11, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 31, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2002. The committee held work sessions on February 11, 2002 and February 12, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0. On March 6, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 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 voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 25, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (3663) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage.
