The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2003. The committee held a work session on March 10, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 12–4. On March 20, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 3, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1671). The committee's amendment (1671) 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.
