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 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 21, 2002 and was referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 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 157 of the session laws.
