The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On January 24, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 21, 2002 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on March 7, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on March 25, 2002, making it Chapter 10 of the session laws. It took effect on March 25, 2002.
