The Story

It was introduced on February 1, 2001 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0227). On February 22, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 29, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 29, 2001 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration” on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 29, 2001 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2001. The committee held a work session on April 24, 2001. On May 3, 2001 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Deadlines on SBs due Early” on a voice vote. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 13–5. On May 17, 2001 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 22, 2001. The committee held a work session on May 29, 2001. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on October 4, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 17–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2002 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on January 17, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on January 30, 2002, making it Chapter 2 of the session laws. It took effect on March 31, 2002.
