The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2003. The committee held work sessions on March 13, 2003 and March 18, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year.
