The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 6, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 3, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 29, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 8, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1773), offered by Sen. Clegg, was adopted on a voice vote on May 22, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On May 22, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 22, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 5, 2003 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2268) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 30, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on July 8, 2003, as Chapter 243. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
