The Story

It was introduced on February 8, 2001 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held public hearings on March 14, 2001 and March 21, 2001. The committee held work sessions on March 28, 2001 and April 11, 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 1, 2001, May 16, 2001, October 23, 2001 and October 31, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–5. On January 2, 2002 the House adopted “Recommitted to Env & Agric” on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on January 9, 2002 and January 16, 2002. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 14–3. On January 31, 2002 the House rejected a motion to pass it with changes on a roll call 147–207. On January 31, 2002 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a division vote 285–70. On April 18, 2002 the House voted to study it after the session ends. The committee held a work session on September 12, 2002. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “REC FOR LEGIS IN 2003”, by a vote of 17 to 0.
