The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2002. 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 10–2. On April 17, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen. Gordon Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 2, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
