The Story
It was introduced on January 25, 2001 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 9, 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 May 15, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 16–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2002 the House voted to kill it.
