The Story

It was introduced on February 6, 2003 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0711). The committee's amendment (0711) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On March 20, 2003 the bill was referred to the 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 14–3. On May 29, 2003 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 18, 2003, as Chapter 169. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
