The Story

It was introduced on February 15, 2001 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 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 4, 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, September 20, 2001 and October 2, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0. On January 2, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2002. The committee held a work session on February 6, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 21, 2002 the House voted to study it after the session ends. The committee held a work session on October 17, 2002. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “REC FOR LEGIS IN 2003”, by a vote of 11 to 0.
