The Story

It was introduced on February 15, 2001 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 14, 2001. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on June 6, 2001, September 5, 2001 and October 16, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 12–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2002 the House voted to kill it.
