The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2003 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0201). The committee's amendment (0201) was adopted on a voice vote on February 13, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On February 13, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 13, 2003 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 29, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 15, 2003. On May 15, 2003 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 20, 2003. The committee held work sessions on May 21, 2003 and May 27, 2003.

It took effect on June 30, 2003.
