The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2001 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2001. The committee held work sessions on March 15, 2001 and March 20, 2001. 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, October 18, 2001 and October 24, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 17–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2002 the House voted to kill it.
