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 16, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2482). On February 14, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 20, 2002 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 17, 2002 the House voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on April 25, 2002 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 3, 2002, making it Chapter 109 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2003.
