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 February 19, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0934). The committee's amendment (0934) was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 27, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 15, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. On May 29, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen.Prescott Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2273) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. 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 7, 2003, making it Chapter 237 of the session laws. It took effect on July 7, 2003.
