The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2003 and referred to the House Fish and Game committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 25, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on April 3, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Wildlife and Recreation committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2003. The bill was enrolled on April 17, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 24, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 24, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on April 24, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on May 14, 2003. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On September 4, 2003 the House voted 159–181 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
