The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0922). On March 27, 2003 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On April 10, 2003 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0922) was adopted on a voice vote on April 10, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On April 10, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 10, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on April 10, 2003 and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 8–5. On May 15, 2003 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1751) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 29, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 9, 2003, as Chapter 116. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
