The Story

It was introduced on March 15, 2001 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2001. The committee reported: Split Report. On May 9, 2001 the Senate adopted “Sen. Francoeur sub-motion Rereferred to Committee” on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On January 24, 2002 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On February 20, 2002 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2807), offered by Sen. Gordon, was adopted on a voice vote on February 20, 2002, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the House on February 21, 2002 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 14, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 15–1. On April 4, 2002 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 4, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (3420) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on April 25, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 1, 2002, making it Chapter 68 of the session laws. It took effect on May 1, 2002.
