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 16, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2644). On February 20, 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 February 21, 2002 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2002. The committee held work sessions on April 2, 2002 and April 9, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 17, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen. Prescott Laid On Table” on a voice vote. On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen.
