The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2002 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held public hearings on January 9, 2002 and January 16, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2629). On February 14, 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 14, 2002 and was referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2002. The committee held work sessions on March 14, 2002 and March 20, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 4, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes. On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen. D'Allesandro 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. The governor signed it on May 15, 2002, making it Chapter 154 of the session laws. It took effect on July 14, 2002.
