The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2001 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 9, 2001. On March 22, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadline” on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on March 28, 2001 and April 10, 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 November 14, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on January 2, 2002. On January 2, 2002 the House adopted “Recommitted to Env & Agric” on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on January 9, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 17–0. On January 31, 2002 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
