The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 18–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 13, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Wildlife and Recreation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1293). The committee's amendment (1293) was adopted on a voice vote on April 24, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On April 24, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 24, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 8, 2003 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on May 28, 2003, as Chapter 77. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
