dec 7, 2000 - Passed Senate (Unanimous Consent)

Description:

The vote was by Unanimous Consent so no record of individual votes was made.
Had the bipartisan support of 33 cosponsors.
There were many people who didn't really agree to this law, because in most cases the shark fins would be used to make shark fin soup, which many people liked.
