The Story

It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2001. The committee held a work session on March 21, 2001. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a public hearing on January 8, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 14, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 20, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 21, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on March 21, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 8, 2002, making it Chapter 28 of the session laws. It took effect on April 8, 2002.
