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 0554). On March 13, 2003 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On March 13, 2003 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0554) was rejected on a voice vote on March 13, 2003. A floor amendment (0684), offered by Sen. Below, was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On March 13, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 13, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. On March 20, 2003 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (0908), offered by Sen.

On March 20, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 25, 2003 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2003. The committee held a work session on May 20, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 17–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 29, 2003. On May 29, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Prescott Non Concur With House Amendment Requests C Of C” 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 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 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 21, 2003, making it Chapter 309 of the session laws. It took effect on September 16, 2003.
