The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Banks committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 4, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 27, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. On March 27, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it unanimously, 15–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 15, 2003 the House voted to pass it, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. The committee held work sessions on May 21, 2003 and May 27, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 5, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Flanders 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. The governor vetoed it on June 24, 2003. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On September 4, 2003 the Senate voted 18–6 to override the governor's veto on a roll call, meeting the two thirds threshold. On September 4, 2003 the House voted 210–147 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
