The Story

It was introduced on February 20, 2002 and referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 13, 2002. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 3043). On March 21, 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 March 21, 2002 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2002. The committee held a work session on April 9, 2002. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 13–2. On April 17, 2002 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 25, 2002 the Senate adopted “Sen. Johnson 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 169 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2003.
