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 30, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 14, 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 14, 2002 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2002. The committee held a work session on March 19, 2002. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 11–0, 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 voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen.
