The Story

It was introduced on March 15, 2001 and referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held public hearings on March 28, 2001 and April 11, 2001. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1093). On May 9, 2001 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1162), offered by Sen. Prescott, was adopted on a voice vote on May 9, 2001, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 15, 2001. 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 May 24, 2001 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing 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 June 5, 2001. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it unanimously, 20–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 2, 2002 the House voted to kill it.
