The Story

It was introduced on June 26, 2001 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 16–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 31, 2002 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on February 20, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 10, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
