The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 20, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2788), offered by Sen. D'Allesandro, was adopted on a voice vote on February 20, 2002, changing the text of the bill. 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 a work session on April 9, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 17, 2002 the House voted to study it after the session ends. The committee held work sessions on June 19, 2002 and October 30, 2002. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “NOT REC FOR LEGIS IN 2003”, by a vote of 12 to 1.
