The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2003. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–2. On February 20, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1377). The committee's amendment (1377) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On May 8, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 8, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it.
