The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2003. The committee held a work session on March 4, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 12, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2003. The committee held a work session on March 21, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 20–3. On April 10, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 17, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 29, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 15, 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 with changes (amendment 1977). The committee's amendment (1977) was adopted on a voice vote on June 5, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On June 5, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Clegg Rules Suspension for 3rd Reading and Final Passage” on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Martel Accede to House Request For Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 16, 2003 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 24, 2003 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On June 24, 2003 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a roll call 322–14. 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 (2277) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. It became law without the governor's signature on July 1, 2003, as Chapter 223. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
