The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0412). The committee's amendment (0412) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2003. The committee held work sessions on May 8, 2003 and May 13, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 11–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 29, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Peterson Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 30, 2003, making it Chapter 210 of the session laws.
