The Story

It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2001. The committee held a work session on February 20, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0. On March 22, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 1, 2001 and May 22, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 20–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 11, 2002 the Senate adopted “Inexpedient to Lehgislate” on a voice vote.
