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 9, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 14, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen. Hollingworth Sub-Motion Ought to Pass” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2649), offered by Sen. Hollingworth, was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2002, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the House on February 14, 2002 and was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2002. The committee held a work session on March 26, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 4, 2002 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on April 10, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 22, 2002, making it Chapter 43 of the session laws. It took effect on April 22, 2002.
