The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 13, 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 1061). The committee's amendment (1061) was adopted on a voice vote on April 3, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2003. The committee held a work session on April 30, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 14–3. On May 8, 2003 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 13, 2003. The committee held work sessions on May 14, 2003 and May 27, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–2. On June 5, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Johnson Non Concur With House Amendment Requests Committee Of Conference” on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm”. A committee of conference met on June 12, 2003 and June 17, 2003 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 24, 2003 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. On June 24, 2003 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 30, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 14, 2003, making it Chapter 246 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2003.
