The Story

It was introduced on January 17, 2002 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 14, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 20, 2002 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3211). On April 10, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 17, 2002 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Wheeler. A committee of conference met on April 29, 2002 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 2, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. On May 2, 2002 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote.
