The Story

It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held public hearings on February 6, 2001 and February 14, 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 a work session on November 8, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 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 January 16, 2002. The committee held work sessions on January 17, 2002 and February 4, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 14, 2002. On February 14, 2002 the House adopted “Special Order to Feb 21” on a voice vote. On February 21, 2002 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on September 25, 2002. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “REC FOR LEGIS IN 2003”, by a vote of 18 to 0.
