The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held public hearings on January 9, 2002 and January 16, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 14, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 14, 2002 and was referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 4, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. On April 25, 2002 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. On April 25, 2002 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm”. A committee of conference met on April 30, 2002 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 2, 2002 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. On May 2, 2002 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report”. The bill was enrolled on May 2, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
