The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 9, 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 Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 4, 2002 the House voted to pass it. 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 (3299) 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 70 of the session laws. It took effect on May 1, 2002.
