The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2001 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 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 8, 2001, November 7, 2001 and November 27, 2001. 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 January 2, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on January 2, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3478). On April 16, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 25, 2002 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 2, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 15, 2002, making it Chapter 178 of the session laws. It took effect on July 14, 2002.
