The Story

It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 22, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes, 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 22, 2001 and May 30, 2001. The committee met in executive session on May 31, 2001 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 18–2. On June 7, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on January 31, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held public hearings on March 7, 2002 and April 2, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 10, 2002 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
