The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2001 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2001. The committee held a work session on April 4, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 9–4, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 18, 2001. On April 18, 2001 the House adopted “Special Order to Apr 19, end of day” on a voice vote. On April 19, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadline to Apr 26” on a voice vote.

On April 26, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadline to May 3” on a voice vote. On May 3, 2001 the House adopted “Recommitted to Commerce” on a voice vote. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on October 3, 2001 and November 28, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes. On January 10, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
