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 March 5, 2003. The committee held a work session on March 18, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 16–2, 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 22, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1367). On May 8, 2003 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On May 15, 2003 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. On May 15, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1646), offered by Sen. Green, was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 15, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 29, 2003 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote.
