The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On January 31, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on January 31, 2002 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 13, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 11–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 21, 2002 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on March 21, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 8, 2002, making it Chapter 33 of the session laws. It took effect on April 8, 2002.
