The Story

It was introduced on February 15, 2001 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. On March 8, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for deadline” on a voice vote. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2001. The committee held a work session on March 20, 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, October 18, 2001, October 24, 2001 and October 31, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it.
