The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2003 and referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0046). The committee's amendment (0046) was adopted on a roll call 17–6 on January 30, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On January 30, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On January 30, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 6, 2003 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 18, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 14–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 10, 2003. On April 10, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 10, 2003 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Boyce. The bill was enrolled on April 10, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 11, 2003, making it Chapter 3 of the session laws. It took effect on April 11, 2003.
